Im in the same boat as you. A "W" doesn't count towards an attepmt, atleast at my cc. So for micro you may wanna re-take again if you can. They make these classes SO hard. Yes I get its to weed out people, but in my opinion just cause you are smart doesn't mean you possess all the characteristics a nurse should have, such as patience and compassion. Those are two of the biggest I see a lack in on a daily basis. Im a CNA and PCT. I know I have all the skills and the personality to become a nurse. As well as good organizational skills and critical thinking... But these science classes KILL me. My prof said first day out of 50 maybe 8 get A's...REALLY..

Being a CNA isn't always easy. I work as a Patient care tech on telemetry at hospital. You have your great days, your good days and the not so good days. But it is what you make of it. I LOVE helping others. You will see me walking down the hall all smiles with a bedpan in hand. Like i said before I'm in hosp, so a LTC facility would be somewhat different but you will be amazed at what just a smile or two extra minutes of your time can do for a patient. You really have to love people and be able to deal with MANY types of personalities. You have to make sure you can handle death as well. Yes the job will be challenging at times, but I dont consider it to be stressful cause I enjoy it. I do get overwhelmed at times but I take a step back, organize my thoughts, make a mental priority list and I am ok.

If your employer offers it for FREE and placement at a hospital, I would 150% do that. I work as an aide a my local hospital. I had a conversation just last week with a nursing student about to graduate in May and she was asking me how to get her foot in the door doing what I do, because she is more likely to get an RN job with hospital experience. Hospital experience in priceless in my opinion. I would totally go for what they are offering you! And when you get placed at a hosp, any additional traning they want to offer, DO IT!! I have learned to draw blood and do EKG's. They don't even train you to draw blood in nursing school!

I think figuring out how to study is the biggest challange for me. I do try and go over everything in spurts, I don't cram. I feel last test I studied as you had just said, I made flash cards, read the textbook did the tests in the book, did the test on the online part of the book, I also took his practice test, went over all the powerpoints ect ect ect.. I feel like it was the way he wording the questions that got me. Im not the only one that felt that way. It is just SO discouraging to want something SO bad and I work in the field already.. and to know that I may never get there. I already have a D from 3 years ago and a W under my belt as well...I can take a W again but that looks bad with so many

thanks! we are not up muscles and bones yet. As for the test , all questions are multiple choice so we dont need to remeber what the slides look like! Im going to download that app though!

How does ANYONE pass this class..What am I doing wrong??? Anyone have any good study tips or any tips that can help me pass. First test got a 62... That also happend to be the CLASS AVERAGE!!!! which is horrible i feel on the professors part.. If anyone wants to start a study group online PM me..

crap... all of my 8 patients need meds at 3...
