Did you even bother to read the original post? And are you not putting the OP down in your own post, like you are so harshly criticizing the OP for doing to others? The OP was NOT saying that good grades = bad nurse. In fact, they were questioning it because they had heard it from other people. Just thought I would fill you in since you clearly did not read the post. There's not much of a point in asking for academic journals when you don't even know what the person is arguing. Good luck.

I applied in January and got my acceptance letter last week. I'm thrilled, but the wait was terrible. Now it's time to start getting all my ducks in a row.

Thank you all for the support! I am extremely excited!

It's just fine! I got a B in Biology and just got accepted into nursing school. In my opinion, Anatomy is much harder than Bio was. I'm taking micro this summer so we will see. You have an awesome GPA! Keep up the good work!

I loved the lab part of muscles, learning the placement and function of them was interesting. But the sliding filament theory about killed me. For lab, we had to learn the muscles on the human and the cat, which wasn't too difficult. They have pretty much the exact same placement, but I had to remember that the muscles in the cat (legs at least) are a little different because their limbs are not as "round" (for lack of a better word) as ours. I got an 87 on my muscles lab exam and a 75 (ouch) on my lecture exam. Now, I am in A&P II. I miss A&P I.

Hi all. I got accepted into nursing school. I was extremely excited for about 3 days. I'm still in shock and very excited, but now I am also scared. I'm not having any second thoughts, but I am worried. What if I mess up and don't pass school? Even worse, what if I mess up and accidentally hurt a patient? I am sure these fears are normal. I would be more concerned if I didn't have them. Lol. How have you guys dealt with these fears?
