Last semester-bombed 1st exam!!!!

[healinghands201]

Hello All.....

I am in my last semester for my RN, and just took my first test. 75% is passing where I attend, and OMG.........I got a 64% HELP, I just don't think I can pull myself out of this hole. Out of 48 students, I only know of 3 that passed. Our instructors already stated-no curve- no extra credit-no exceptions. Majority of the class received either a 72 or 74, I just don't know how to get through. We are now getting ready to learn about rhythm strips and the electrical part of cardiac, does anyone know of good sites to learn? I just don't like how my book explains it. Is anyone else out there in my situation?

It's just one test - but i know it can be scary. I'm not sure how you're studying but when I was in nursing school - I found that I did better if I studied NCLEX questions instead of studying the book.

I to am in the last semester, I have failed my first test, took the second today, and I dont feel good about it. I cant stop crying, however, I did take in a movie today to get away. Helped a little but I am still worried. Next week a test on neuro. God help me. I must graduate. No other options................

Hang in there! I had my last theory this past semester and was on the fence right up until the final exam. It was horrible. I have no advice, but know exactly how you feel. Good luck!
