I've been an nursing assistant for 3 years (2 at LTC, and 1 on a med surg floor). I love the health field. I have taken all my generals and completed my first clinical rotation in college. I'm in my second semester now and failing .
I spend hours reading over the info trying to make sure I understand it (not just memorize it). Then when test time comes about 1/4 of the test questions are on things we never discussed. All of my test scores have been 79s, 80s, & 81s. You need an 82% to pass. I went from a 4.0 student to failing student.
We started with 60 students in first semester. We are down to about 30 now. The semester is not over yet. We have 2 weeks left, but only about 5 are actually passing with decent scores. About 10 are really close to failing (like 83-85%) and the rest of us our failing.
Is all nursing schools like this? What has your experience been like?
