As I write this post I am so angry at myself for letting this happen. This semester I did not pass pharmacology. Quick rundown. I took pharmacology online (WORST MISTAKE EVER) on campus was way better to do! The reason why I did was because I was dropped for some reason from my Pharmacology when I had it on campus. I went to go talk to the adviser for him to add me back in, and it did not allow him to add me or another student. He told us he would register it online, and we would keep an eye out (MY MISTAKE!!). I told him that I was already worried about that class was not too sure, anyways we kept it. That was Pharmacology 1 and I was also taking Adult Health 1. My school is 8 week programs so it is very fast paced. From the beginning I could feel that it was going to be intense, my dog was diagnosed with cancer and it was a huge despair from that moment. I should have known better and dropped. Well it was a very hard journey bringing her to chemo, emergency vets, until 3 weeks later I had to put her down because of Aspiration Pneumonia. This was devastating for me, still is. Did not do well on my exams, these exams were so hard and difficult as much as I studied. For my final yesterday I studied day and night knowing that I had to score a 96% to receive a 76 on my exams. Cumulative chapters (30 chapters) on my final I busted my butt, and scored a 94%. Not enough by one question, I failed the course. I emailed the Professor but as we all know it is nursing school. What killed me the most was that everyone on campus was just fine, either an A or B. Their final was a few chapters, always were provided with a study guide. The ones who took it online were either border line passing or not passing very few passed. This still was not a reason to fail, because at the end of the day it was my fault. This will put me back 4 months graduation date , instead of 2016, I will graduate 2017. Pharm 1 is a pre req for Adult Health 2, so I am taking Pharm 1 in September, and waiting till Nov to do Pharm 2 and Adult Health 2 on campus. Will me not passing this class affect me for my future studies as far as getting into a program that has a Master's? This really has been a bad month I lost my best friend, and I failed this semester. For a while I threw a pity party but you learn from your mistakes. What can I do to help me be a better student? I was thinking of some volunteer days at a hospital, I read about being a CNA but I am afraid this will eventually take time into my studies and I want to focus 100%. I am definitely going to start reading Pharm as of now, and refresh on Adulth Health.
