Just wondering how did everyone finish out the semester. I managed to get through my seconds semester with 3 As and 1 B. It helps that only 2 were nursing courses and other 2 were general education! LOL You don't have to post your grades if you're not comfortable. I'm just wondering are people feeling as good about their work as much as the effort they put in? Any plans for summer?
Summer!!!
And a GIANT oopsie on my above post! I had calculated my med-surg grade as the exams make up 90% of the grade and we get another 10% from ATI. Well me tests were a 92.66 so I rounded it to a 93, took 90% of that and added my 10 ATI points giving me a 93.7, which would round to the 94 for an A. Well an A- just posted on my transcript today due to NOT rounding the 92.66 to a 93, and taking 90% of the entire 92.66 so I ended up with a 93.4 which meant an A-. So I did NOT make my 4.0 I have already bragged about to my family!!! Urgh!

I'm happy to see that everyone is doing so well! This semester was difficult for me too because of one particular class. With all the struggle, I'm glad to have made a B in it. I think my lab grades helped me out a bit. So I'm still good with the Dean's List and Alpha Chi. Although I may not have my 4.0 anymore, a 3.88 is just as good!
My plan also is to read ahead for Med-Surg during the summer. My mom brought home the old edition of our textbook from the hospital she used to work at when the nurses where planning to throw it out. So I ought to put it to good use! I will try to read my NCLEX review book too for the basics. hopefully I actually do all this! The Sims 2 is very distracting...LOL
