I am in my last semester of nursing school and was feeling pretty confident until today! We took our first exam of the semester and got our grades today. I am generally a pretty good student & I thought I did very well on the exam, to find out that I got an 83% (barely passing at my school) then to find out everyone else did very well. Then I ansered 2 questions in class and was completely wrong BOTH TIMES!! I am feeling really dumb & wondering if I am going to ever get all of this!!!!:o

You have made it to the last semester of nursing school - quite an accomplishment in itself. :balloons: Time for a quick self-assessment: anything different now in your personal life that may be causing difficulty with your studies? Maybe it is something as simple as having an "off" day or not feeling well over the past few weeks. I would advise you to seek feedback from a trusted instructor. Kudos to you for being proactive, but don't get too psyched over this: dust yourself off, and keep on going. Best wishes to you :)
