Hi, I'm screwed

Think positive...A major league baseball player that hits .250 makes millions of dollars. In others words...he failed 75% of the time he tried to hit the ball and still makes millions of dollars. Stick your goals on the bathroom mirror and look at them every day you brush your teeth. Keep the faith!

I took a little break from the nursing school rush and now I'm back with a changed attitude for the new year.

It's so easy to get down about this stuff when you know there are schools with waiting lists a few years long and soooo much competition. This semester lowered me to a 3.0 but hopefully I can pull it back up. I guess at first I thought "I'll give nursing school a try" just to appease my curiosity but the further I got into it the more I wanted the respect and ability to make a difference in peoples lives that comes with Nursing. I have ALWAYS wanted to make a difference, you know leave the world a better place than when I came in. I guess I owe it to myself to stop the sabotaging.

Thanks for your support.

I worked really, really hard this semester and only pulled out a B in A and P I, a C in chem and an F in microbiology. I'm retaking microbiology, but this makes me wonder if nursing is for me and if I should I just go to grad school for counseling psych like I planned. Nursing was always something I wanted to do and I feel like I gave it my best shot.
My plan is to continue the pre-reqs for nursing and apply to both programs in the fall. I'm a loser .

dont worry i got a c plus in med.micro . over 300 applied last fall only 37 got in . im with you there but you just gotta stay positive. you retaking microbiology shows that youre highly motivated to be a nurse and dont refuse to give up =)

WOW that was some work load. Knowing how difficult A&P is I think you pulled a good grade. I took A&P with chemistry I received an A in A&P and a C in chemistry if I had micro added to the mix I would have failed a course as well. Dont beat yourself up and dont question your ability to become a good Nurse just because you didnt have the best semeter. You know the saying " what do you call a person with the lowest gpa" Dr. My point is dont give up because of one failing grade.
