It really pains me to write this. Nursing has been my passion for as long as I cam remember. Hearing my aunt's stories of how rewarding it is and how much there is to learn inspired me to want to become a nurse. Then I got to college, and collapsed under the stress of things. I got a C- in Chemistry ON BOTH RETAKES, a D+ on the first A&P I attempt and a C+ on the second, a C- in A&P II, and I'm projected to get an A in Microbiology. The other prerequisites (statistics, nutrition, child development, etc) are A's and B's. Sometimes I wish I was a better student and I hadn't been so distracted. I hate that I wasn't able to accomplish what I wanted. Every school I have looked at has to look at pluses and minuses, and it's bringing me down. It makes me wonder what patient would want a nurse who could barely get a C in her SCIENCE classes? It's hopeless and I have decided t move my major into something else. I wanted this so bad, but I really can't do it anymore. It sucks that schools look at pluses and minuses and it sucks that I was so close, but I'm so far. I'm done.
