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:
I had a bad start to the semester, failed my first two exams. So I re-examed my study habits and got my first A- today and I also did well on my last pharm exam. So, I made up the points that I lost for the first two tests and caught a few extra. I also got a 100% on my med calc test so I am feeling the same as you right now - REALLY FREAKIN AWESOME!
Don't let people take your joy away - you SHOULD feel good about this! I did a dance when I saw my last skills exam. My cum. in fundamentals is a 92% so far - but I still only have a 72.5% in skills (2/3 of the class scored at 75% or failed on the first written exam - killed everyone's average!) The way I see it.....you gotta celebrate the victories whenever they come your way!

Getting a B in nursing course isn't easy. I got B's in most of my nursing classes, and I'm proud of that because I had to work my tail off to get them. Keep up the good work!!
I think what is key is that you recognize when you are slacking off and use that as motivation to do better next time. We've all been there (well, at least I have). Its hard sometimes, but its really freaking awesome to know that you have the power to turn it all back around.

So today we got our test back, I came so close to only missing 1 but of course I second guessed myself on one I got wrong, had I not I wouldn't have missed that one. The other one I still would have missed.
Then I guess majority of class missed a question so if they put this other answer instead of the right answer then they got the point also. Sucks cause I had the right answer so no extra point for me.
Oh well I am still happy I got my first Nursing A. It would be awesome if I could pull off another one!
:yeah:
