i saw a girl who just passed 4th semester and was told that she feels sorry
for the ones who barely passed 3rd...then i get a text from a friend saying
she ran into someone who told her the same thing...i'm one of those people!
at my school you need a 75 to pass and i passed with a 78...ahhhh...
any suggestions...

Pinpoint what your area of weaknesses were and try to step those up.

I am starting 1 in January, so I don't REALLY know, but I will comment anyway. From what I understand, you buy your books for nursing 1, and they are used straight through to nursing 4. You already know what you were weak in this past semester. Take these few weeks off, and work on those. And the week or 2 before you start your next semester, pre-read a bit of info. Maybe look up whatever your school studies in your 4th, and check out that specialty on here. Read what those nurses are talking about. Sometimes casual conversation info sticks better than clinical reading. Join a study group, or 2, and schedule yourself time in the library, like it was a class you paid for. Do about an hour of practice tests a week, and join another study group! You will figure out how to get it working for you. Just don't let the panic over ride the desire to do well. Best of luck!!! Keep your head up!

Don't listen to rumors. Their experience will not necessarily be yours.
