IDK What to tell you but I feel like a failure too. I live with my parents, am 22 years old, and work a dead end job. I am just now thinking of going back to school, in which I have a 1.87 GPA. I barely graduated high school, it was just like the name states, High school. I am thinking of giving up and starting a career in truck driving, but something tells me to stick to it, suck my EGO up and just do it. Lot's of things are going on, most important for you - Find a study method that works. Try studying with family, or a partner? Try teaching the concepts to others.

I really think you'll do great once you relax a little. You sound like you have the perfect attitude, you take things to heart, stick with it and work your way through the tough, early years. Good luck :)

This is the beginning. The beginning of the end and the end to the current. I AM a scumbag. I AM a **** head. I AM sore. I'm ending that mentality NOW. I will work, I will try, I WILL rail Adderol, I WILL study four, five hours a day, I WILL get all A's I WILL be judged. I WILL be knowledgeable, I WILL be respected, I WILL be a nurse. I will be made fun of/looked down upon because of Adderal comment. I AM a FUTURE, MURSE ! ...... Got bad grades in my pre req's tried EMT class twice, chose to give up. Now decided that giving up is for losers and I am not a loser. I am a winner. THIS IS HOW WINNING IS DONE

Yeah man I see you have a lot of replies already but the best thing you can do is push your self. If you feel like walking is just giving you a little soreness, that's not enough. PUSH your body, swimming is THE best way to lose weight, but I'm not talking ***** swimming, I'm saying SWIMMING. You're a smart guy, you just need to get motivated and stay that way. Getting a membership to a gym ( Planet Fitness is only 20$ a month ) And making a few friends there would help you A LOT. Just stay motivated, and make sure your diet is in check. You can use websites such as http://www.fitday.com to keep track of your calories... look up harrison benedict formula on google as well. all the best player

I laughed at this post of your self calling your self dumb. ( Who's dumb now, did you see that sentence? Check this out, I currently have a 1.8, yes a 1.8 and I have DECIDED that I WILL go to nursing school. Nothing will stop me. I am re taking the classes I got F's in and working my ass off. Listen here little ms sunshine, you can do anything you put your mind to it, I'm a firm believer in that. That being said the science GPA is a TAD, low, I personally won't be applying until I have 3.5 + GPA. That essay should deff help your cause you seem like a competent person I wish you all the luck and I will be sending positive energy your way! :yeah: It's like that show ARTHUR when we were little.... Listen to the lyrics

I want to get a head start on learning, class starts on the 23'rd... I've been doing Anatomy and Physiology this past week... when the thought came about "What the hell am I gonna learn at CNA besides how to properly behave around patients and how to talk to them" Thanks

I'd say... build your life around studying your notes and flash cards. That's what I'm TRYING to do... but man putting in the effort is hard.

I love you.

I have learned so much.

You shouldn't worry about it one bit. If you feel like it is slowing your progress to becoming the best CNA you can be, get out of your shell day by day. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Here... this video might be of help

I was at a hospital yesterday getting my chart review and I coulda swore one of the RN's was messed up on downers. Her pupils were as small as a pea's nucleous! It was funny because I could tell she could tell I knew. She started avoiding eye contact and wanted to get outta there. Me being me, I kept her around asking her questions about so and so. It was funny lol. I just couldn't believe that an RN would do such a thing, maybe it was medications but either way you could tell she wasn't right. Crazy.

Thanks for the replies. They really eased my mind. How long do you guys usually study for? I try to aim for 3 hours but I feel like I should be doing more. I never studied through high school and am just now starting to take it seriously. Note cards seem like a great idea but I don't have any money to spare. The fact English is my second language can be challenging when trying to pronounce the words, but that's no excuse!

I'm learning anatomy and physiology I right now about the nucelous and plasma membrane and stuff and i cant help but feel that i should already know this. i had a little moment like "look how old you are" in relation to what i was doing and now im like

The power of our mind is infinite. You are as smart as Einsten. The trick is to make your self believe that truth. Working hard almost always leads to positive outcomes.

Oh man here you go you use this AMAZZZZZING site. You will thank me forever, see you in my next life I did a good dead today! http://www.midlandstech.edu/science/kelleherk/210/ I'm the same way maybe we can study online somehow to quiz each other? IDK I just want to get as far ahead of everybody as I can !
