  1. Okay so I know this is long but I have to explain. The semester ended December 6th and grades go in December 10th by 9am. This semester (fall 2018) I took biology and biology lab. In my biology class I passed every test which I was shocked by because I heard biology was very very hard. In my biology class my final grade is either a B or an A. In my biology lab class we had 4 practicals the first practical I made an 90, the second practical I made a 80. For my third and fourth practical I have absolutely no idea what I made, because my teacher doesn't like to give grades back. This entire semester from August to December she only let us know our grades twice. The first time she let me know my grade I had a 76%. The last time she let me know my grade ( before I took the last 2 practicals) I had an 82%. Since the last time she let me know my grade I've taken 2 practicals which were very hard. I don't know if I'll pass the class. Let me explain the grading scale lab practicals (4) = 45% (I don't know my average for all 4 practicals) post lab assignments = 30% ( my average for post labs is a 61% Participation/discussion = 10 % Wolbachia presentation= 15% of overall final grade ( my average out of 15 is 4.26 for the presentation) The reason I feel I strongly failed is because I don't know my grade before the presentation and I didn't present my presentation. So I don't have a lot of points for that. My sister was my lab partner and she didn't want to present and I'm not going to say I let her influence me because I have my own mind, but she got to me a little and my nerves are really bad when it comes to presentations. I've did every presentation in every other class that she wasn't in btw. I was nervous to present in those classes but I told myself I would never let a presentation come in the way of me passing or failing a class. Im disappointed because I did just that in my lab class. I'm also disappointed because my sister is failing the lab class (badly) and she doesn't care. My lab teacher actually told me I have a lot of patience when it comes to my sister and it's time to cut the cord and move on without her because she's not going to make it in the healthcare field. My teacher also told me I am going to be a great nurse. I feel like not presenting and losing 15% of my overall final grade hurt me real bad, and also I didn't know my grade before presentations. I can't believe I didn't present it was a mistake. That's the thing about mistakes I learn from it. I will always present a presentation whether nerves get in my way or not. Now I can't sleep because I can't believe I failed because I didn't present. So basically I pass the biology class and fail the lab class. Next semester ( Spring 2018) I'm signed up for A&P 1 and A&P1 Lab and Biol 2 and Biology 2 lab. Being that I strongly feel I failed this lab class. Should I try and take it again spring semester or take another science sequence? Either physics or chemistry?
  2. I've been diagnosed with gerd and it's really bad and I have heartburn and chest pains everyday it gets worse when I eat. I just want to know if anyone else on here has gerd/acid reflux and how do you deal with it. This just started 2 weeks ago so I don't know how to feel about it. My doctor prescribed medication that helps a little but not a lot. I can't help to feel sad and scared that I'm gonna die from a heart attack. Which is making my chest pains worse I don't know how to be calm about it, but I do need to calm down
  3. I went to the er Monday because I was having chest pains they did an ekg and chest c ray everything was normal even my b/p was "super normal" according to the er physician. Every since I woke up from my nap yesterday which was 8 ish I've been having chest pains/heart burn and overnight like right now I'm experiencing both Chet pains/heart burn and my left shoulder burns I've been to the er twice about this and they don't know what's causing it. They think it's acid reflux because they say it seems like you're having a heart attack but you're not. What kind doctor do I speak to this about because I feel if I go the er their going to think I'm crazy and continue to not know what's going on.
  4. Thank you to everyone who responded I was feeling lost because my aunt and grandma are very judgemental saying I should've been moved out from my moms house. I want to be smart about moving out When I graduated high school I didn't go off to college I stayed in my hometown, went to college and lived with my mom that way it'll be less expensive. I just didn't know once you graduate people would be so judgemental of what you're doing in your life and I wanted to hear from nurses myself so thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond
  5. Okay so I applied to a local university by my mom's house for their associates of applied science degree in nursing track degree for spring 2017. I'm 21 and at the age where I really want to get my own apartment I was thinking to move out when I get my cna but we all know cna's are underpaid well at least where I live they are I dont wanna struggle my mom is a single parent I was thinking to work part time and help her out on the bills because I heard nursing school is really hard and is a second job itself. My mom says I don't have to work she just wants me to be focus on school and only school but I want some money in my pockets lol. I just want to know for those who went, and currently in, or about to be in nursing school did you move back home or lived on your own? Is it smarter for me to work part time, and live at home while in nursing school , or get my own apartment work as a cna while in nursing school? Thank you!

  9. Okay I'm currently 21 years old. I graduated high school in 2013 I took a year and a half off from college I always planned on going but wanted to take some time off and then decided Jan 2015 to do the nursing program at a technical college but before you do there lpn program you have to take 9 prerequisite classes including a cna class and it's very mandatory you get your cna first. And I was suppose to be in the cna class for fall semester 2016 and then do the lpn program spring 2017. But there cna class is full they only allow 14 people in the class a semester. So I'm taking cna classes around where I stay for $1,095. And just decided to not do there lpn program I decided to go to a university that's literally 15 mins from my moms house and live with her and do their adn nursing program for spring 2017 and go back for my bachelors and while I'm in the adn program I would very much like to work as a cna. But as of right now I just feel lik I wasted 2 years of my life going to this technical college because that could've been my adn nursing degree right there. I also feel left out and like a failure because the people that I graduated high school with are gonna be graduating college may 2017 there gonna have there degrees and I don't have mine yet. I don't know how to not feel this way. I have a plan and I believe no I know I can do this I just feel like my life won't be complete and I won't be really truly happy until I become a pediatric nurse. I just wish I didn't waste my time at that technical college I was literally going there for 2 years just to do there cna certificate program when that program can be done in 6 weeks. I just hope things look up for me and I feel really bummed that it's about to be 4 years and I don't have anything I feel like a failure. I graduated high school at 17 didn't start technical college until early 19 and I'm currently 21 and I feel like that's time I wasted that I will never get back.
