   Hi! The reason I brought my marks up was because I was able to speak with a student advisor and was told that good marks MIGHT (a big one) give me a fighting chance. I guess it wouldn't be that big of a help:( Thanks for being honest! I appreciate th...

   Do you think it would help my case to show them my marks? I have straight As in all of my courses except for this course. Or would they think it's irrelevant how I did on my other courses?

   Hi Horseshoe! I understand why my instructors aren't budging. They won't give another chance because it'll be unfair to the other students. To be honest though, I wish my instructors shared your sentiment about sitting down with students and working ...

   No worries! I didn't think you were advocating for cheating I seriously do not want to give up. The way I think right now is that, at the very least, if my appeal gets denied, I can say to myself that I have tried everything I could and it would be ...

   How I wish they could just sit down with us and practice the skills with us and we never have to fail:(. But then again, I also understand that they're just looking out for the real patients that we have to take care of so they don't want to send us ...

   Thank you very much for posting! Being a special snowflake or even bothering people aren't in the list of things I like doing and I really don't want my instructors to feel that way too. I honestly believe that I have very good and very capable instr...

    Since there's no way to re-check the vital signs part of the check-off, I was thinking of asking them for a chance to perform another vital signs check-off on the spot just to show that I am confident with my skill. If I still fail on that, then I wo...

    Hello! Thank you for replying! Yes, they take the pulse on the other hand and we use dual-headed stethoscope for BP. What do you think of filing the appeal before meeting with my instructors, though? Would my instructors think I'm a know-it-all or s...

    Hi! Thank you for replying! I really appreciate your tips, but unfortunately, I am still hearing different noises. Sometimes I would hear light, irregular taps before I actually hear the clear thumps that I am familiar with. In this case, do I reco...
