I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE!!!!

Published

:cry: I had my dosage calculation test this past tuesday and ending up not finishing it because I had to go the the ER( I am 7 months pregnant)....I thought I was going into pre-term labor. The doctor seems to think I had a Gallbladder attack..I have never had any trouble with it before. Anywho...I scored a 55 on that test ( 17 were left blank so they were counted wrong) ...well we had our second chance thursday to take it.... myself and 5 others...and I think I failed it so my career as a 2008 nursing student may be over come 12:00 Monday.:crying2: I just feel like a complete failure, I mean I spent 5 yrs doing pre-reqs and now it seems like it was in vain. I am so depressed and upset right now I do not know what to do. The questions I think I missed were the simple math questions:banghead:...the hard word problems and drug labels I feel confident in. Just say a prayer for me and I will let everyone know Monday how it goes.................:(

I think a medical emergency should give you an automatic do-over. Did you talk to your prof at all after the first quiz to explain the situation?

I would let her know how concerned you are--point out in your academic record that you have always been a concientious student. Any other profs she/he knows that can attest to that? have you taken other math calsses that point to your capabilities?

I wish you luck and will keep you in my prayers!

I agree, can you bring in something from the doctor? You should get another chance. I hate that a calc test can keep you from becoming a nurse. Fight it and see what happens. Hand in your documentation and make copies for yourself. It should count for another chance. I wish you the best and for the baby too.

It might not be as bad as you thought, you know?Came back from my pharmacology exam so drained and unsure, I wrote on our calendar the retrieval date, explained seriously to my husband that he might need to take a day off to look after our kid, that I think I failed and was convinced I failed, I was so unsure...and I did pass with 100%. I never had 100% in anything in my life, and i'm mildly dyslexic, if I dreaded one thing was the calculation 'bit'..that just goes to show that the stress of the exam could affect your judgement. I'll never live that down in front of my husband, he's taking the mickey everytime he gets the chance.

All the best to you and the baby!
