    I Want To Quit

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Well the official grades for the test have been posted. I ended making an 80 (don't know where those extra 3 points came from) and making an 80 on a pop quiz we had. Good thing I skimmed that chapter....

    That's what I want to do, something like Public Health or Research. The BSN level classes we do I thoroughly enjoy. I like researching statistics and formulating health promotion programs. I like...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    IDK everything. I've done okay until this point, which is only my second semester and first semester of clinicals. I'm taking two nursing courses - one is a core course and the other is a BSN level...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Passing is a 75, which is a C. It's a pretty normal grading scale, not like the one's I've been seeing from some schools. Still, it's not good enough. My instructor said that "You're skating by...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    My teacher approached me while I was with my advisor and said that she needed to talk to me. She thought I had failed, but had the wrong student. Nonetheless, I only made a 77. Then I sat and talked...

    What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I took the second test yesterday. My raw score is a 72.5 after looking at the key. The final grade depends on what questions she throws out and whether they were the ones that I got wrong. I'm hoping...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Wow, your teacher is so wrong for that! I mean, they might as well not say anything at all! Yea, I used to read all my chapters last semester except in one class. I made a B in that class and made an...

    I'm about to start studying now. I would have started yesterday, but I started cramping really bad. Today is the day! I still feel miserable about it all though. I'm not even sure about my clinical...

    citylights89 replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in General Students

    Yea, I just had 2 clinicals so far. The first week we were to buddy up and follow around a PCA to get a feel for the unit and help her out a bit with the basic nursing duties. All the patients were so...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Oh, I like your outlook. I see myself in your comment. We have the second test coming up in the same class. I'm hoping to do way better, but if that is going to happen then I better get started now....

    Current students or grads - How's your progress in Nursing school?

    citylights89 replied to healthcare4life's topic in General Students

    I just made my first 75 on a test in Art and Science. I had a 4.0 going in and managed to make all As and 1 B my first semester. This was a shock. And the instructor said it was going to be "easy."...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Well, the final grades have just been posted. I ended making a 75, right at passing. It's a relief and a bit of a bummer. At least I passed, but it's not what I am used to making. At least I know how...

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I do need to buy a NCLEX review book. My school recommends the one from EVOLVE since we have to take the Exit HESI and since it's the same authors, it's more efficient. However, NCLEX questions seem...
