I’m a first semester student. I Studied for hours on end and only got a 68% on my first nursing exam. The average in the class was a 77% and you had to get a 75 to pass I feel so discouraged. I thought I knew the information relatively well but I guess it didn’t translate very well to the test. It was basically for pathophysiology related stuff along with respiratory, oxygenation, and genetics. I have to meet with my professors to talk about the test but I was going to do it anyways. I’ve never felt so discouraged in my entire life I know I’ve made a few other posts about some quizzes I felt disappointed on but this one really hit hard especially because I put so much time into it. I don’t want to fail out of the program I wanna really do well and I feel like a complete idiot for not doing well on the test. I just need advice on how to study better.

I’ve really been struggling with maternal and infant. I also have a test on Monday which I have been studying for every single day a little bit but whenever I study with classmates or do practice questions online related to the material sometimes I get them right but sometimes I get them wrong and I always feel like I don’t know enough even though I feel like sometimes I do know enough. I felt like a complete idiot and advanced Sim lab today and I feel behind my peers. Because of these feelings along with other factors I’ve been having a lot of depression which I’ve contacted a therapist about because I haven’t had any of these thoughts in a long time. However I still have been able to focus on studying which is good especially today I got like four hours straight in. But sometimes I feel like even though I understand the general concepts I don’t understand is enough and then it’s gonna hurt me and that maybe I’m not smart enough to be here and that it was a mistake. The only positive thing is that I lost 70 pounds in two years and I graduated with my first bachelors degree before getting accepted into nursing school and starting a month ago. I feel like I know what to do but nobody else can really relate to my situation because they’re too intelligent to understand where I’m coming from but I don’t know I’m really trying but maybe I’m just not good enough sometimes I feel like I’m good enough but others I feel like I’m too dumb and I don’t understand enough like I should be and I don’t pick up on stuff fast enough I wish I was more intelligent. Sorry if this came off as a rant or a negative but I’m just trying to vent how I feel.

I am in my first semester of nursing school BSN Program and in my third week. Today I took an open book quiz and scored an 87% which isn’t that bad but unfortunately the average was 95% and I got the lowest score in the class. I feel like maybe I don’t really belong in nursing school I passed but it’s a little discouraging.

Hello everybody, just last week I found out that I had been excepted to nursing school at the University of Utah. I’m so excited I’m about to get a bachelors degree in health and kinesiology in December and hopefully start nursing school after. However, in my acceptance I was required to submit a background check and complete a drug test. I have done both of those but my drug test has not come back yet. I got the drug test done at the clinic on October 16 and according to my conditions I have to get my test completed in by the 20th. I have no idea if this means to show that I completed the test or a show that I post completed the test and sent him the results. I got my notification email on Tuesday the 12th however due to a church retreat I had no access to Internet or cellular service until Thursday night which delayed my process of signing up for verified credentials to get these things done. There was no possible way I could’ve gotten it done any earlier than I did because I did all these things literally on the 15th at midnight when I got back. I’m not worried about the drug test results to much as I don’t use anything they test for or anything federally illegal since it’s a 10 panel. I am totally stressed out and freaking out because I’m afraid that I’ll get my admission offer rejected because the lab took forever to get my results. I emailed the advising email at the University of Utah and let them know the situation but no one has responded yet. I have thought about calling but they said not to in the directions. I’m so afraid that my future is going to be completely ruined all because of this situation and I don’t know what else to do. I’m not the only person having a problem getting the results back my friend she took the test two days before me on Thursday the 14th and she has not gotten her results back either I have no idea what to do and I’m freaking out because I called verify credentials today and he said they just barely got my specimen today and that it will actually take 5 to 7 business days rather than the 2 to 5 business days they said on their website. I am sorry this is long but I don’t know what else to do I am freaking out right now.

I tried my best but today I texted them that I resigned they left me no choice. I am not available to work and I can’t trade shifts or cover because I don’t live in that city right now. That’s why I sent a FILL IN request over a month ago and then later RECEIVED A TEXT confirming that someone would fill in for me. I have done this a few times in the past and it was always taken care of but now it’s not working out that way. I left because of bad pay, living in a different city 4 hours away, and bad scheduling. I sent a professionally written text to the HR and Scheduling person informing them I resigned. I’m going to start doing agency and I’m excited.

I had former coworker and friend say it happened to her multiple times where someone would agree to fill in and then they’d still have her scheduled. Like I said staffing has been bad lately I don’t care I sent my resignation in today and I am not working on Monday because I am no where’re near the facility at the moment plus they screwed me.

I received a text message notification so yes.

I just decided to quit today. I sent in my resignation letter told them I am physically unable to work Monday. I am not even in the same state atm. Plus I have wanted to quit for a while but this was the last straw for me. I would have done it more professionally but I could not get to City where the facility is located since I no longer live there atm.

And I totally agree the issue is I can’t come into work that day because I live over 4 hours away now and that is the reason why I requested a fill in. To explain I left home for the Summer and just moved out of my apartment a few weeks Ago because my lease is up. So I moved out and that’s why on June I put in the request. But I don’t know how else I can do it.

Okay yeah I want to tomorrow they said they never knew that even though I received a text message notification that someone was filling in for me. It’s frustrating because they are saying I should’ve texted someone to cover it but I requested it on my OnShift app one month in advance. And on top of the fact I got a message saying it was approved really made me mad.

Sorry this is a long story and I need to vent. I requested a fill in on OnShift for July 26th night shift for it to be be covered in June since I wouldn’t be in town that week. A few days later I got a notification on June 28th saying it was covered and thought I was fine. But then I checked the schedule today to find out I was still scheduled to work. I talked to the person in charge of scheduling to find out she had no Idea so I sent her the proof of the shift being filled in a text I received. Then I text the person filling in for me and she is still working that night. Doesn’t matter cause I’m still scheduled and I have to find some one to cover for me that day. I feel like they are trying to make it look like my fault even though I requested the fill in a month in advance and a notification saying I was covered. Texted everyone so far none have been able to cover the shift. The scheduling has been absolute garbage lately. One night when I was working only two cnas were scheduled and another we had four working when we are supposed to have 3 for night shift. I am so done first of all I’m PRN so I only work a few times a month anyways, I don’t currently live in the city the facility is located in since school is on Summer break, and the pay is terrible. In my state the average CNA salary is $16 an hour I’m only making 13.50 plus I recently joined an agency where I can make anywhere from $15-22/hr doing what I do now. I am just so frustrated with what’s going on and the management has been rude and not very kind toward the workers. Sorry for the rant but do you guys think I should quit? And has anyone dealt with this type of stuff before?

Yeah absolutely. I already feel that since I made alternate list at the University of Utah which is a great school, I definitely have a better shot at getting in this time. I also feel that I could get in somewhere else as well. I have considered all three of those states especially Idaho since it’s pretty close by. Idaho State is one school I’ve considered along with a few other smaller schools.

I also forgot to mention I’m applying to the SLCC nursing program, Dixie State University, and trying for Westminster. Unfortunately, SLCC makes you take the ATI TEAS V6 so I’d have to take that. I took a practice and got a 72 overall but got high enough to be proficient by SLCC standards.

I am 22 male been in college for 4 years have 127 credits and a cumulative GPA of 3.192. Currently applying to UofU for the second time. I got an 80.86% overall on HESI A2 without studying. My prerequisite GPA is close to a 3.4. My grades in pre requisites are as follows Principles of Biology: C+ Elementary Chemistry: B+ Anatomy: A Physiology: A- Mircrobiology: A Nutrition: B Stats: C+ Human growth and development: A- Pathophysiology: A Last time I was put on the alternate list at University Of Utah don’t feel I have a lot of options.
