As of right now I am a pre-nursing student working on getting into the RN program at my school. As you all may know getting into any nursing program now is competitive and this semester I started working on my pre-requisites. I started of Anatomy with a bang as I was the only person in my class to get an A on our first exam. We took our second exam last week and everything went to pieces. Two weeks leading up to the exam my insomnia got really bad and I was sleeping little to nothing the week of the exam I had gotten 6 hours of sleep in total for the entire week. To top it off I lost my lecture notes 2 days before the exam. I just got the exam results back and as the title of this post says I failed it. A big fat F failed it. I'm devastated, and extremely ashamed as my professor had praised me so highly. Do you think there is any way I can turn this grade around? Or should I just drop the course now and try again next semester? The problem with this is that it will set me back a year and not only that I will have to pay out of pocket for the course as I am not receiving financial aid next semester. There are 2 more exams after this and the final with some quizzes thrown in. If you were in my shoes what would you do? I don't want this to be the end but I just feel so lost and upset.
