I Bombed My Physiology Exam

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello Nursing Community,

I bombed my physiology exam. My kids were looking forward for me to go to Nursing School. I am so bumed out. I was also wonder to myself if this is the correct career step I should take? Maybe I am not good in the science class. I had a really hard time in this class. I did well in the lab, but the lecture I screwed up. I am so disappointed right now I can't sleep. This class was my last class before my program. I have so much going on in my life right now. Within this next year, my house that I am living in will be demolished, no financial aid for next year, my job is on the line and I have to find a another place to relocate to. I am so upset. Well, anyways I can't go back and redo all of this. I have to keep plugging away with my life. I just think about my children. How do you know if Nursing is something that is just not a good career choice. I have been trying to become a Nurse for many years and these important classes I just can't pass with a high enough grade. Can someone answer that for me. I also have been looking for another job. I would rather work from home, does anyone have any ideas or jobs I can do from home to make extra cash. I am a older person and have been trying to pursue nursing for most of my life, but it has just not happen for me. I don't know what to do. I am getting old. My kids need a better life. What am I doing wrong. I feel so helpless sometimes. Should I take a career assessment. I currently work as a tech in a major hospital in my area. I sacrificed so much to finish this class with a decent grade. I bombed:banghead:! Help anyone.

jules2980,

I know what you are saying, about 60% of the class dropped, so not everyone in the 40% is going to make it. I also took Anatomy and did very well. I did well in the lab, but I will have to retake. I have to pay 1,033 dollars to retake. I will not be getting any financial aid this coming quarter. I will have to really save. Thanks for replying to my post. Talk to you soon. carla

One thing I might suggest, is taking a study skills course - I know at least in my school we have a 3-credit course that helps you find your learning style, study better, take higher quality notes, etc. Since I've heard that you use a lot of the same mentality for studying A&P that you'll use for Nursing school, it may help in the long run.

Best of luck!

No, I'm not yet, actually - just starting my pre-reqs. But I've done an insane amount of research in my spare time (don't start school until the 21st) and am taking a study skills course to help when I start A&P. =) Best of luck to you as well! :heartbeat

Good Luck to you also, you are starting @ a great age. I had so many friends in my classes this past summer that were about your age. You guys are the future. The students were so smart. I love to see so much motivation with the younger crowd. I had a great study group this session, but didn't do well in lecture. I just have to brush myself off and keep going with my head held high.

I wish you all the luck this Fall. I know you will be a great Nurse. Carla

Carla,

I take my classes under financial aid as well, so I really can understand the stress of not doing well and possibly losing aid - I almost lost it this past spring, actually. Stressful. Dx Thank you so much for all you said - at any age, sometimes it is hard to dredge up the motivation when times get rough, and I wish you the best of luck in continuing your journey! If you'd like, I can keep in touch and maybe send you the notes from my "college success" course that pertain to studying and whatnot?

Nohika,

That would be so great!! I would love to see how you are doing and maybe you can give me some study tips. I will not be getting any financial assistance this quarter, so I will only be taking one class a quarter. My physiology class will start in the spring. I have to wait that long to retake. My program both A and p taken at one school. I am so bumed. Physiology was my last class :(. Well I must go on. I will talk to you soon and good luck with your classes. I am taking Statistics. Carla

Carla,

Sure! I don't start classes until the 21st, so it'll be a bit. I'm taking Inferential statistics this quarter, among my other classes as well - so if it's anything like what I've already taken (Descriptive Statistics) I can help! I don't start A&P until January, so I've got a bit of time to prepare for it - I'm incredibly nervous! Good luck to both of us!
