Withdraw from nursing 1 or stay in?

[jy8686]

Hi everyone,

I have a dillemma.

I just took my 3rd exam and got 60 (there were family issues during the two weeks and.. sigh)

Bc I did horribly on my first exam, it is still affecting me horribly (plus this recent one).

However, I was able to bring it upto 80 on my second exam.

There is 4th exam (18.75% for final grade) and final exam (20% for final grade),

should I still stay in and try my best?

I need to get at least 80 on each 4th and final exam to pass.... and move onto nursing 2.

There is a month left for me to study... (4th exam and final exams are only 1 week apart!!!)

What should I do?

Should I take my chances? or withdraw with a W?

I have already talked to my professor and she said its my choice, and told me reinstating is very tough and

it depends on the pool.....

Please help me... =(

UPDATE: Hi everyone! :) I am OP for this post. Thank you so much for all your replies and support... YES, im staying in! Today is actually the last day to drop with a W... and I am deciding to stay in till the end. I talked to two professors, and they all said it is upto me (which is true), and they were afraid that my score dropped on the last exam. Honestly, they were not that supportive, but I really think I can do it this time.

I really appreciate all your support and opinions, and I wish all of you the best. Thank you again. You guys gave me so much support. :) :) :)
