Missing only 3 for a 94% is great! What's the problem? If you knew it all, you wouldn't need to be in school
Try and relax and learn all you can, tests and grades are not the only reflection of knowledge in nursing school...

Wow, there really are a lot of posts similiar to these lately!
I feel like a broken record... :lol: But NRSG school is a lot different from highschool. Even if you prepare, and memorize all your notes, you need to utilize critical thinking skills. You will receive a ton of questions which the answers won't exactly be "spelled out for you" from your notes. I was an A student in highschool, and maintain that A-A+ now, but I study for 6-8 hours a night. You need to hope for that A, but prepare for a B.
94% is still an AMAZING mark!! Congratulate yourself... My class average is 63-70% in the majority of my classes.

The OP finds support here. They are planning on nursing school.
ok....
So, I if I have to use my critical thinking skills, is this an example:
my sister's friend bragged about having this viral disease. (mononucleosis)
I asked my sister how long she was absent, and she sad only 3 days. Automatically new she was lying.
Little pieces of information and put it into one to solve the question right
No. All you know is that the person has been out for three days. They can have mono that has not progressed beyond three or four days yet, emphasis on the word yet.
Yes, i'm confused. No information was given to suggest she is a highschool student, and since this is a nrsg forum, the assumption is the grade is regarding nrsg related courses...
Knowing that she has Mono and has been home for three days is not enough to prove "she is lying." If you were a nursing student you would know that everyone responds to illness differently, and we rarely accuse anyone of "lying" about a condition, unless they have a diagnosed somatoform disorder.

This person has made frequent posts in which they have stated they are in high school.
