I wish that was our grading scale!

We had a student dropped from our program for assisting a nurse with a task - mostly just observing, actually, but the instructor found out they handed some equipment to the nurse during the procedure and they were gone. You're an awesome nurse, OP, but I couldn't justify the risk, personally.

How light were the markings? I've never had that problem and I don't press that hard when I fill them out. I would go up the chain of command, personally.

I read the assigned chapters, and write up chapter outlines that I take to lecture and I highlight everything the instructor talks about and notes what she emphasizes. It's time consuming but so far I've gotten above 95% on every test.

I wish I had some advice for you; I've had shaky hands my entire life. I've gotten to the point where I get incredibly anxious when performing tasks because I know my hands will shake, which of course makes them shake more

Our program recommends that we don't work, and if we do to keep it under 20 hours a week. They won't penalize people who work more than that, though. I don't work, so to save money I make cheap meals ($2-$3) in the crockpot every night and my husband and I divide the leftovers up for lunch the next day. We have tracfones that we buy minutes for once a year, so we have no monthly cell phone bills to worry about. Every little bit helps.
