rodeo417 · Nov 17, 2008

why do i have to have the A&P teacher from hell.. the highest grade is a C in his class. if i am lucky i will have a high C. At least that A in chemistry will balance it out to a B. But now with the economy i wont graduate until summer I. but my sciences and math will be done for spring.. i hope that they will still let me start.. i just wanna cry:crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2:

Just got my A&P exam grade. I got a 90 on my lab and 82 on lecture. So this means with 1 test to go There is no way to get an A. If I got a 100 on my next lab and lecture exam the best I could do is a 89.
Just kind of bummed thats all. Was hoping to have 4.0 the semester before applying, but now that dream is down the drain.
I know I know, I'm being dramatic but its ok cause I'm venting.
That made me wonder in this highly stressful enviroment we are in what do you guys need to vent about?

I feel your pain. While I have a very high A in my A&P lab, in my lecture class I have a B. I needed to get a 98 on the test I just took and the one coming up, to end up with an A, and that wasn't the case. Actually, the whole class did worse on this last test than the previous tests. So, with one test left to go, its pretty much solidified the fact that I will have a B. I was so bummed, and my husband thinks I'm crazy because he says a B is good. But I wasn't working for a B, I was working for an A. Maybe I'm overreacting, because I really wasn't an A/B student in high school, so to get A's and B's in college is good, especially for me. But for some reason, I feel like nothing less than an A is good enough. I'll get over it, I was just a little bummed like you.

Let me guess... was your test on the muscles and nervous tissue?? If so.. I had such a hard time with this. And I understand.. I wanted an A so bad....

I hear ya. I am pulling a high B now. I am terrified of not bringing it to an A.

LOL, well, sort of. It was on nervous tissue and the nervous system. But, yeah, the professor even said the material is tough. But there are people who get A's on it. Just not me I guess. :)

Here's my vent. Eons ago my dh was all ready to be handed his dream job. A job that made very good money. All he needed to do was lose 25lbs (law enforcement). Instead of doing that he has gained 135lbs (yes you read that correctly and he has a slew of health problems because of it) and is working a dead end job. When I decided to go back to school I told him that he had until the Summer of 2010 to come up w/ a way to support us because I have yet to find a way to be able to work a full time job and go through the nursing program at the school here (the only one around basically). He decides to set his sights on that job he wanted so long ago and he's determined to lose the weight he needs to blah blah blah.

Here we are six months later and he has gained weight. When I remind him that he needs to find a way to support us in two years, he tells me that i'm putting too much pressure on him. PRESSURE? Here's pressure, I work a FT job, go to school, and have a 3 year old boy. *sigh*

So here I sit w/ a solid A in A&P I lab & lecture, a probable A in Lifespan Psych and I haven't the faintest clue how i'm going to manage to pay my bills when I get into nursing school. Grrr.

Yeeeeeah this semester..

A in A and P (Unless I totally bomb the final then I'll have a B but I don't foresee that)

B in another P class I'm taking

C in chemistry

F in Microbio

Incase you didn't get that... an (((F))) in microbiology.

I have to retake it next semester

My over all GPA is a 3.0 right now... I think (I could have figured it out wrong)

I'm so boned, I'm never getting into nursing school. :cry: :cry: :cry:

My vent is that I got really sick and ended up missing out on nearly 4 weeks of school. I'm freaking out that I might not be able to catch up unless I drop one class (upgrading a high school English class). Ticks me off.:angryfire

I need to vent too:

I feel too old to be starting nursing school because it's NOT a career change- I just never got started on anything else first. I know I'm not the oldest person by far to be heading to nursing school, but I feel like I've wasted a decade on school and not doing anything with my life.

I have a great shot at getting in to a good program and am suddenly totally unsure if I want to go there. I'm dragging my feet on applying to the other program though, because I can't deal with having to make a committment between two choices so am on the verge of self-selecting myself out of the second school. The programs are different in just about every way, and I'd probably be happiest at a school that combined the parts of each that I'm really excited about, which is a logistical impossibility.

I'm starting to think that hard science interests me more than nursing. And that even though my grades are great, it's not because I'm a good student- I'm still a slacker and am getting by with a minimal amount of effort. I think I'd like to go to med school more than nursing school, but don't honestly think I have it in me.

My Monday schedule sucks so I'm tired and cranky and still have 2 hours left before I can go home.

And I'm hungry and don't know what I want to eat.

I have a vent for the day.

Even though I have an A in A&P I (pretty much no chance of losing that since my exam grades have been 96, 97, 95, 94 and today's couldn't be no less than 93)...I barely made the test today! I was late because my baby sitter was ten minutes late meeting me at the hourly daycare because her boyfriend ripped a stitch in his tooth, my son had a poopy diaper with poopoo that I literally had to PRY off of him--delaying me further. Running so late I had to ride in the car with the poopy diaper. I get to class 15 minutes late huffing and puffing so frazzled I could hardly concentrate. Forgetting the poopy diaper I get into the car having to smell it all the way to the car wash. The change machine is broken so I decided to wash my car by the wash near my house. I pick my son up, drive to the car wash that won't accept any of my 9 1.00 bills...so I came home fearing what else is in store for me out there... All of this could have been avoided if my MIL had informed me of her vacation prior to my work schedule being handed out so I could request off...

Ha, you sound just like me. I'm 31 and FINALLY finishing up my pre-reqs to get into the program. I knew 17 years ago I wanted to be a nurse (thats when I was a freshman in HS) but, low and behold, something always got in the way. My family didn't have the money to put me thru college, and no one directed me to financial aid. Heck no one directed me to college. I wasn't part of the "smart" crowd at school, and then I won an internship that was a year long for graduating HS students so I took it. Then I had to work a lot to make ends meet. When I finally would get ready to register for classes, something financial got in my way. The last obstacle was that I asked my employer to let me work part time so that I could go to school, and she said, "Not this semester, but I will work it for next semester." Well, I got pregnant and had a baby, so there went next semester! But here I am, 13 years after graduating HS getting it done. Now that I think about it, its probably better that I didn't go to college right out of HS, because I was not the best student then and I would't have the GPA I have now if I did. I guess everything happens for a reason.
