Hi, I am an LPN.I have struggled from one semester to another.I am complimented time and time again on my clinical skills but I struggle through the exams no matter how hard I try.I am in school now to finish and get my RN but I'm going into my final with a 72 which is failing.The program changed the grading system when I was doing nursing 2. I felt it was unfair.It is now a 75. If they were going to change the grading it should of been for the nursing 1 students only.I also feel that we should be able to write papers,take quizes and do other things to help to improve.Not just fail us for exam grades only.I work hard in clinical-sometimes we have to write reports instead of careplans but it doesn't really count to me because you don't get a grade.A grade that could help me.We have to take something called ATI testing which tells us whether we have a chance to pass the NCLEX exam.I don't mind care plans.They do make me feel ready for my day on the floor.It gives me a chance to look up skills I may not be familiar with. Soooo do you have any suggestions about studing for my final??I need an 84 to pass.I think I'm just going to keep testing myself using the CD"s instead of trying to go back and read all the material.I know mistakes I make are stupid sometimes baecause the question is asking for a neg answer and I look for the pos. answer.But this is it.If I fail this class I can't take it again so I'll be an LPN..and feel like a failure.....
