should I drop my nursing classes or stick it out??

Published

I have just started by junior year in nursing school. I have been studying so hard, & I recently took my adult health & mental health exams, and did not do well on them. I'm feeling very discouraged because I really felt as though I did ok.

Have any of you had this happen before? Do you guys think I should study really hard for the next exams & see the outcomes, or drop my classes. I really want to be a nurse it was my dream to care for the sick. Please help me out.

Thanks

Huh? You're a junior in nursing school? Then that means you must have a history of doing well in your classes if you were able to get into nursing school and make it up to this point, right? To suddenly drop your courses out of nowhere seems a little bit hasty; if you have time, you should try to evaluate why you did so poorly on your exams this time. How did you study this time versus all of the other times? Try talking to your instructors about the exams and look over it yourself, if you can.

Dropping those classes is a big decision to make that you'll have to figure out for yourself.. You know you best. Do you think you can be confident enough in your abilities to turn your grades around with hard and smart work? What happens if you drop these courses?
