Is it just me???

Hello all,

Just doing a little venting, I am being very hard on myself because i made A's and B's throughout my first undergrad degree, but now that i am a nursing student i now get C's and lucky B's =(. Has anyone else been in my shoes?? Its sort of discouraging but my professor says C's get degrees, i guess i am just being to hard on myself.

just venting, thanks for reading,

~Sweetvon

    Well, I haven't rec'd C's, but I know where you are coming from. Have been an all A student previously and without a whole lot of studying. I have a very hard time making the B's, which isn't a bad thing, but it will drive you crazy if you let it. Nursing school is strenuous on your body, your mind, your emotions, your family.... cut yourself some slack, I had to cut myself some, because I don't have time to check into a mental facility because of it ; )

    Hang in there, nursing school is just a whole other animal when it comes to grades...

    I'm worried about the same thing when I go to NS this fall. I'm kind of a perfectionist and earned A's in my pre-reqs. I'm the kind of person to ask what question I got wrong and then argue my case. I've been told that this will make me crazy if I try to keep this up in NS. If I have to get by on C's to continue to lead a normal family life then so be it. I once read "C = RN"!

    "C = RN" is the most important formula to remember from nursing school! :) Seriously, it is HARD, mostly because the test questions are so completely different than any other test you have ever taken. I mean, you have a multiple-choice question where all five options are the correct answer--you just have to pick the MOST correct one.

    I have a BA and an MBA and graduated cum laude for both degrees. School has always been EASY for me. Nursing school? Not so much. I was lucky to get by with Bs last semester, and I worked my butt off. It was crazy. And yet, I love it! It's challenging and fascinating, and I get to do things I never imagined doing before--helping a woman deliver her baby, holding someone's hand while the surgeon explained that their leg was going to have to be amputated, explaining to a teenage girl that getting an STD is not the end of the world and that she'll be just fine. And I'm only halfway through school! It's incredibly hard work, but so worth it!
