Just Found Out I Failed

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I just came home from my anatomy & physiology class. I failed the first exam for this semester. The proffessor sd that she really recommends that any one who has failed the first test to consider dropping the class. I am mortified :crying2: . I really want to remain in this course because I need this course in order to gain entrance to the nursing program. I am a returning older student, I was never a very good studentin HS and feel that maybe,this is a sign that maybe I am not cut out for nursing. Although I know I would make a great addition to any nursing staff. I feel that given my track record in school, I may not be smart enough to gain entry into the program and actually graduate. I really need to find my "niche", I am not getting any younger. I now feel that maybe I should consider another major. I am a certify Coder but for that is not enough. I am asking any and everyone who reads this post, What would you do if you were in my shoes?

A&P is awful! LOL The first time i took it i totally bombed the class! I was so frustrated! You can do it! Try the class again. I am going to! My class was 10 weeks at Baker and it contains SOOO MUCH stuff. I am going to be transferring to WCCC next fall because they have 16week semesters!

Try again and best of luck!

If you do decide to drop the class, do it early in the semester. Some schools allow you to "drop" the class early with no penalty, but if you wait you have to take a "withdrawal" which can be a very bad thing when trying to get into nursing school. Some schools penalize you for having "withdrawals" when evaluating your academic record. Mine just started and thankfully that happened the semester AFTER I got accepted because I barely made the cut as it is. I agree with the poster who suggested you calculate the grade you could possibly get with the remaining points in the class. If you can only now get a "C" or lower, I would drop the class IMMEDIATELY (if there is still time to do it without penalty) and retake it next semester. It's very very difficult to get into nursing school with a "C" in one of the prereq's.... not impossible, just damned difficult.

My 2 cents!
