nursing student who is to grad in May

[Amyp290917]

Well, we just did the first exam for this semester which is suppose to be my last one. I didn't pass, so far I been passing the semesters with "C's" and now I fail the first exam. I am starting to second guess myself and wonder if anyone has ever been there when they were a student. The program I am in is really tough our class average was a 69 for the exam and a passing grade is a 77! So you can see that it is not just me it is also the program. We don't have very many exams so the ones we do have we have to pass or do well on. I looked at jobs to start applying and because my GPA isn't where the requirements need to be I haven't applied. I am starting to lose hope and feel like I have come this far and to quit would be horrible. Any words of advice would be appreciated.
