Hello- I am just about to complete my first semester of nursing school -- PHEW! The stress has been incredible and the frustration with grades is overwhelming. As a student who is used to recieving As, getting Bs and getting uncomfortably close to Cs is scary! I always feel as though everyone else does better on our exams- the averages seem so much higher than what I usually get! I tell myself not to compare myself with those grades, but it's always hard not to. Its the license, not the GPA that matters, right?!? I have heard that the first year is the hardest- is this relatively correct? Looking for some words of encouragement or motivation needing a little cheering up as finals week continues.... Thanks all!:redbeathe
