THANK YOU! Yes I do have to take it section by section. I fully understand that now!

Thank you so much! Yes I just came to the conclusion that I'm putting too much on myself. My sister has always told me not to double up on sciences if I know that's my problem area, but I tend to want to be superwoman and I was too concerned about graduating from college within 4 years. I'm just gonna take my time now.

Hey everyone, I decided to pursue a nursing degree at the end of my freshmen year of college. I'm about to enter my 3rd year of college, and so far I've completed and done very well in many of my prereqs (human development, psych, stats, etc). My only disadvantage, and basically the GREATEST disadvantage, is that I haven't done well in the required science courses at my university. I've taken Chemistry twice (passed both times, but didn't get the grade required to be accepted to my nursing college), biology once (completely failed it), and I'm currently taking Anatomy and Physiology (two separate courses). Physiology is going well, but I don't think Anatomy is going to end well due to the fact that it was a 6 week course with A LOT of material to cover. My final is tomorrow, and I'm just barely at a passing grade already (definitely far from getting the grade required for the nursing college). That means that I will have 3 science classes to retake before I can apply for my nursing college...and I still have a few more to take this upcoming year! Not only does this mean I won't be graduating in 4 years (I pretty much knew that from the time I went to college though), but it also means that I probably won't even be in the nursing college by the time I'm in my "senior" year. I'm feeling VERY discouraged and incapable of being a nurse. I know that I can succeed in my science courses; it's just that I have a tendency to become overwhelmed when I have to balance them with other classes. Has anyone else struggled with their sciences, but overcame them? Thanks in advance
