I killed it today!!!!

I had to come share in my excitement because people here will understand and I only would share a super good grade with a few people in my class because of comments.

Anyway, I started off well in Fundamentals, well would get B's, we can't miss more then 2 questions out of 40 to get an A because if you miss 3 it's 92.5 and we don't round until the very end. So anyway, the first exam I got a 90% and second like an 88 I think it was and then I got 2 C's and it was my fault fully, I didn't focus like I should have on the material and really slacked off and then I kept messing up questions I shouldn't have so I was bummed and it had put my overall grade down to a 82 so I was pretty bummed. Anyway, today we had our 5th fundamentals exam and I got a 95% A I only missed 2 questions. I am so freaking happy, my overall grade is back to a B now again (I won't let it get close again) and I am on cloud nine!

Anyway I just had to come shout it out because unfortunately it's hard to be able to feel proud in class when a lot of people struggle with this class and make you feel like like crap for getting a good grade. :yeah::yeah::yeah:

As long as you wouldn't mind an A student gloating and proclaiming how well they're doing, since you're only a B student.

Just saying. :) I don't mind people discussing their grades at all, but most are pretty hypocritical when it comes to people doing better than them. Not really a nursing school problem, but a personality problem with most people in general.

Actually I don't mind. I don't mind being only a B student either. I know A's are extremely tough (which is why I was so proud of mine today) but if I tried my hardest and got B's I would still be happy with myself. I am far from a hypocrite and unlike some people I actually applaud those doing well even if they are doing better then myself. I have a very small close group of friends, when I got my C's they got better grades then I did and I was truly happy for them and told them so, I never once made them feel ashamed for doing well. When a friend of mine got 100% on his pharm exam I think I was more excited about it for him then he was.

I came here to get it out because I didn't want to make people in my class feel bad I know their are many people here that do well as well and I could share with. But it's sad when we can't enjoy and appreciate a good grade without others trying to make you feel bad about it. If you want a better grade then try harder and if you tried your hardest then be proud with what you received whether it's an A, B or C. We all have the opportunity to do well.

I wouldn't worry about it, honestly. I've definitely seen what you experienced, but I just blow it off. As long as someone isn't being smug and rubbing in someone else's face, I don't see the problem with at least being excited about what you earned.

There are a lot of people in my class thrilled and excited just to get a C, they just want to pass. I respect that and am thrilled for them when they meet their goals. It seems that the same courtesy is extended when I meet my personal goals.

I definitely understand that a lot of people aren't like that though, and that's a shame. I agree that if someone didn't get the grade they wanted, they shouldn't hold it against someone who did. Misery loves company, but come on now.
