Yes, you're absolutely right. My error was that at the beginning for the first two tests, I didn't dedicate the amount of time studying I needed to. For the third test and final exam I spent hours and hours at school, mostly because I can focus better, with study groups and on my own. I read the book, I took practice quizzes online from the textbook, did some Kaplan NCLEX style questions as well, looked over notes which are my professor's printed out power points, made notes from that, flash cards, charts, used a pharm made easy book and quizzed myself and had classmates quiz me as well when we got together. Honestly, I did less studying in other classes and did well in them. I do not have a job. I am a full time student.

Today I found out that I didn't get the score I needed on my Pharmacology final exam in order to pass the class with a 76%. I was totally devastated and still feel pretty bad. I started nursing school in Fall of 2013 and failed one class, Pathophysiology, so I retook it this semester and passed but now failed Pharmacology (ended with a 73.3%). I think in my school, we can only fail two classes and then wait a year before reapplying. I made an appointment to speak with my advisor on Thursday morning but I honestly feel very down. After all the studying, all the hard work and all the struggles, I failed. I don't know what to do, if I should wait a year and get a job in the meantime or if I should apply to another program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
