Not to be rude but are you certain that you didn't fail you final exam? Because you could have an F in the class and a C on BB that will probably never get updated. I have an F on BB in one my classes because I failed my final and it was the only grade that the professor did put in but I ended up with an A in the class. Also I didn't get my grades back until today which makes it a week and two days. But if your positive that your grade is a mistake then go with your gut and take it up with the school. Do you have your professor number? If so call him. Go to the registrar, dean, or anyone.

#3 won't work because a college professor can legally withhold your numeric grade until the final semester grades. So I say to just talk to your teacher again and be more specific this time by discussing and going over your grades with her. Tell her you want the letter not the evaluation. Then if that does or doesn't work, just continue to strive for good grades. Don't compare yourself to others either, just because that girl got a C doesn't mean she told you everything of why she may have gotten that C. Just do good, you'll be fine.

Here's my schedule

I talked to the Advisor there and she told me my Intro to Or go class will transfer over...

The nursing program I will be applying to is Lewis University and they require Orgo as a pre-req. And thanks I'm trying to get straight A's so I can get a good transfer scholarship.

The deer situation was an actual fear and I'm taking Orgo so I can apply to the nursing program in December. It is not as hard as I thought it would be either.

Lol... No the deers didn't get me, I just take the bus. And what do you mean my story doesn't add up? What reasons do I have to lie??

I have no idea. My professors said we need Gen Chem 1 to take her class but it's not enforced by the registrar to make gen chem a pre-req and that was how I was able to take it. Also I talked my advisor into letting me take it and he couldn't really do anything about it if I could take it or not because their was no official pre-req...

I considered that if I'm going to be a nurse. I used to be really shy when I was much younger but I grew out of it so I'm hoping that I can grow out of my loneliness for my duty as a future nurse lol.

Because I'm an introvert and I'm not really a social butterfly. I'm not shy but I don't talk to people unless they talk to me first or if I have no other choice. Otherwise, I avoid people and conversation.

No, lol I'm taking Organic Chem before General Chemistry because I have a tendency to take on more things than I can handle. And yeah I'm addicted to going to the movies and watching Netflix because if I don't read a novel or watch a movie I tend to get so creative in my head that I would just day dream all day... Yeah, it sounds weird but I'm an introvert and I need to do something with myself I don't like to socialize.

I'm trying so hard to get straight A's and it is so hard!! Like as of right now In my first semester of college I have 2 B's and 3 A's but it's not enough. Just last week in my Organic Chem class, I failed my first quiz with a D+, but ever since then I have been studying so much in that class and it did pay off for me because I got a whooping 100% on my second quiz (Which put me at a B). But it's still not enough. I'm really good at English but I got a B- on my first paper and I just don't see myself getting good grades this semester. I also have an essay due weekly and I keep getting 90/100 on all of them, an then in my Anthropology class I can't seem to get a 100% on all of writing assignments either... But I admit I spend hours a day on Netflix and it may be compromising my grades but if I don't have Netflix in my life it would just be all about school and nothing else. I mean if I can't have a social life then at least I have Netflix. So how did you all get good grades and keep them?

Honestly? Go for your BSN if it's truly what you want, do not make it harder for yourself.

I find that so weird though... I was taught my whole life that it is bad to get someone's bodily fluids on you, but I guess since you guys are wearing protective gear that it will be alright. But it doesn't make me no less nervous that his stuff does happen.

Does that ever happen to you as a nurse? I was told by an ICU nurse that she was punched/spit on by a patient before or sometimes when her fellow nurses try to insert some type of chest tube in, blood will potentially splash on you. Isn't that not safe if someone else's bodily fluids get on you though? She didn't go into much detail because we we're on an elevator and I told her that my major is nursing and we just went our separate ways after we got off the elevator... But I want to know much more, so is that true?

So I truly did have a bad professor.... Honestly, I tried so hard today. The teacher does have a serious accent with a very soft voice, plus there was instances where she wouldn't say a pronoun in sentence or it would take her some time to figure how to say certain words in English. For example: She would say "You throw it away in the..uhh...can". When she ment throw it away in the trash can. But she is a pretty nice teacher overall, except if we ask her a question when we don't understand something (she automatically assumes we get everything she's talking about), she would look at us as if we're dumb or just joking around. But I'm going to try to stick it out to the end!

Oh, and I hate college and being treated like a grown up. Grown ups has way too many responsibilities.

First day of college and class and my professor has already assigned 3 chapters to be read w/ an outline for each, all due on Wensday . And this was just anthropology (my only class on Mondays) and I already felt the feeling of giving up and saying "screw college". I did all of the readings and outline today (took me 9 hours) for one HW assignment, now I'm just imaginaging how I will truly feel the stress when I have to add my Orgo and writing on top of all this tomorrow. I don't have a job, which I feel so blessed. I'm trying to keep myself on a tight schedule by trying to juggle all this coursework and giving myself time to continue studying for my KAT. I need to score an 85% in math and a 80% in reading and we only have one time to take it per person, so if I failed it, I won't be able to get into the nursing program. And yeah I'm just exhausted. I can barely keep my eyes open by typing this so sorry If you can't understand whatever I'm typing...

No, I have nothing against deers. I'm just terrified of wild animals (any wild animal) plus it will be dark and probably hard to spot them. I used to live downtown Chicago before I moved to the suburbs, so I am not used to seeing so many deers at once.

One of my classes is from 4:30pm to 7:20pm. I live in a very woodsy town with a lot of deers roaming around, plus there's barely any lit places at night (not enough street lights) so it can get dark to the point you can't see. My home is just 2.5miles (50 min by walking and 5 min by car) from my college and I will probably have to walk home every Wensday unless the teacher let us out early since it's a 3 hour class. The last bus is always at 7:22, so that gives me about 2 min to try to make the bus, but if not I have to walk home. I should've just did the dorms. But I'm planning on asking my teacher to let me out at 7:18pm instead 7:20pm but there's no guarantee. I can't rely on a cab because sometimes they just don't show up at all and then won't inform you that their not coming. My brother tells me I could do it because he has been hitchhiking and backpacking across Europe by himself, but I'm still nervous about the whole situation. Does anyone have any words of encouragement for me or how to best deal with the situation? I'm hoping that I don't have to drop the class because I need it on my application by the time I apply to the nursing program, but it looks like I have no other option.

If you know you're going to only be 35% invested into the nursing program why would you waste your time on it, knowing that it's not where you want to be? If I was you, I would only take that risk if you're 100% sure you want to go to DMS school and will put your all into it... Only because you have already experience nursing school and if your heart wasn't set into nursing the first time, why go a second time and waste time and money? Try to shadow a nurse and a DMS specialist then imagined how you would want your life to be 5-10 years from now. Also see if you could talk to a career counselor because I've been to one and they give some great advice, you can mostly find them at any college. It's your life and future, not your parents or friends, so don't invest yourself into a career to please others.

I wish... I go to a university.

My professor for my Organic Chem class has some horrible reviews on ratemyprofessor.com. Unfortunately, she is the only teacher available to teach Orgo, so I have no other options but to take her. The reviews states that she is hard to understand because she has a really low voice and a profound accent. Plus, the reviews say it's a pass/fail class and that she's never consistent on what she's teaching... I really need this class to apply to this nursing program in December, so there's no dropping the course. Plus, this is Orgo and I'm taking it before Gen Chem because I heard the two doesn't corelate with one another, so I would just be wasting time and money. Did anyone else pass a class with a bad professor?

23 is considered young for a nurse...

1.) Because my sister can be really shy and she kept waiting to the last minute to ask and I needed the details now. 2.) Sorry. 3.) I was putting down $400 to help my sister out. She will be turning 18 real soon (half sisters) and that was going to be my birthday present to her.
