I have an undergraduate degree in a non-science major, although I did take some science classes in undergrad and did well [but that was 15+ years ago.]
I am taking A&P this year at a community college. Last quarter, I barely passed at 70%. I may be doing a little better this quarter, but who knows with the last two finals... The exams are very hard for me and I have been really working on studying more effectively, but it is hard with working and going to school.
My question is, given that I am not one of the students who gets A's in this class, should I give up on going into nursing? I don't know if other classes will be the same.
I just don't want to be the constantly struggling student in every class...
Any thoughts you might have would be greatly appreciated.
I was not a straight A student either and had to retake A&P several times. If I would of given up, I would not have graduated in Dec 2009 with my BSN and sat for boards in April and passed. Do not give up you can do it if you really want it.
Our Professor just told the class today that for those of us who did not do well to keep trying. Its a difficult class with a lot to learn quickly. I have to add that the #1 reason I see students who do not get the A is because they are taking on too much. Only Me and 2 other ladies got an A and were excused from the last Lab practical. None of us is taking more than 2 classes right now. It is a very time consuming class.
