I'm getting some major anxiety getting ready for graduation. I'm in nursing school and the policy goes something like this: Less than a 75 % test average will cause you to fail the class (even if you have a low B in the class with all other things factored in). If you fail two classes you fail out of nursing school and that's pretty much the end of your nursing career (and in my case a waste of the last four years of my life and a 12,000 dollar debt that amounted to nothing). My current average is as follows

Quizzes: 90, 90, 90, 60, __ (We have one more quiz)
Tests: 82, 78, __ (my test is tomorrow >_< but I'm not prepared)
Final: __

the final is 20% of the grade with each test being 10% and the cumulative quiz grades being 10% (equivalent of a test grade).

I just calculated it out and I need a 70 on my next test and my next final to pass the class. I'm still really nervous.... cuz I have all this other stuff to do, like my pharm final which is due this weekend... plus getting plans together for graduation and other non-nursing classes... and just blah... I'm SUPER STRESSED right now T_______T

I just want to graduate and get my license so I can take care of people o_O;;; Is that so much to ask for?

No, that is NOT too much to ask for, what a nolbe goal- to take care of people!!

I, too, was in nursing school until I resigned at the end of January, but I truly gained so much, I would not have changed it for the world.....I swtiched my major to education so I can be of service in another way!

From what I know about nursing school, why I resigned, was the STRESS, take an hour right when classes let out to WIND DOWN & RELAX......you can DO this....then when that hour is up, THEN hit the books!!!!!!!!!! Pace yourself, take a deep breath, find the perfect 'spot' to study, PM me, we can be encouragers to each other- you be the nurse, I'll be the teacher!!
