Just last week I wrote a post about how I am struggling a bit in nursing school. Today I took my peds/ob test and got a 70%. An all time low for me. I feel defeated and awful. At this point I am literally just crying, i don't have an appetite I feel like nothing. Please someone help me with study tips For every exam i usually .. read out the ppt write out each slide a minimum of five times do as many practice questions as I can. I guess that was not good enough this time. I am so close to graduating (may), but now I feel further than ever. If i fail this class, then I have to wait a year to enroll again in my program. I am at a complete loss right now with myself and im so dissapointed with how I scored

Oh my goodness you are incredible. This is the best advice I have ever heard in my life. Thank you thank you! I actually might cry because nobody has ever given me such wise words that are close to home. Im sure your an amazing nurse. Without a doubt

thanks all!

Thanks everyone for the tips. All of you are super helpful and kind. I understand that it isn't the end of the world if I don't excel every single exam, but being a nurse is just who I am. I have to pursue this goal. Since I was 5 years old I wanted to be a nurse- Im 22 now :). Never changed my mind once. Never had a single doubt. The hardest part is my thoughts telling me I am going to fail and the long hours I spend trying to remember and grasp the content. I always look up to nurses and wonder if they felt like what I feel like in nursing school. Sometimes i get so nervous before exams that I can't eat and I feel sick But i will work for it. Im sure you all are amazing nurses and I hope to be just like you all someday :) Thanks again guys!

Hey everyone. I'm in my second year of nursing school and im starting to wonder... am I smart enough for this? Why do I have to try so hard and work so hard just to get an 85%. I have to put in so much effort while other students can study two nights before the exam and still do well. What am I doing wrong? Why am I like this. I am becoming emotionally drained. If I can barely make it through ADN program then how will i purse my education further within this field.

does anyone know how hard it is to get a job as a NICU nurse? It is my dream job and I graduate next year with an associates of nursing. I am going to be getting my bachelors right after, but regardless does anyone have any feedback? Any NICU nurses?

thanks so much! It's good to know other people have been in the same situation. I will for sure keep improving my skills, you are right! Thanks for the advice, I am sure you are an amazing nurse!!

thanks :)

thanks so much!I actually cried from the same scenario. I was giving an injection to a mannequin but I totally messed up during check off's, forgot the steps and got super embarrassed. I just felt like I was the only one who couldn't do it and eveyone else could

Has anyone ever cried in front of a clinical instructor? I was getting evaluated a couple of weeks ago and I didn't do so well. I am already shy as it is but I was also embarrassed that I was doing so bad that I just started crying. Now I'm super embarrassed .. anyone else?
