I am devestated! I actually received a failing grade on my first test this month. My instructor keeps saying "don't sweat it", but I do, I do, I DO!!!!! She has been trying to break my 4.0 and she may just be the winner this month. They keep saying it isn't the grade that matters, but the grade does matter to me. I guess I am just an over achieving, OCD student when it comes to my grades. My life experience has taught me sooooo much! Like, I really should have listened to my parents when they kept telling me to apply myself and I was happy to be a A/B student without any effort at all. Live and learn! Ahhh, if only I could go back!
Time is winding down. This is my last actual clinical at a clinical site. Unfortunately for me, they do not have sites for the Reproduction or Peds rotation. Darn it! My favorite (labor and delivery) and no site to practice! Too bad for me. I cannot believe that I will have been in school a year at the first of June! This time has just blown by and I have enjoyed it so, so much. I hate to see the end of the program, but I can't wait until the end of the program! I have some decisions to face head on and make soon. Buggers!
One of my very best friends is getting married in October and I will be her Matron of Honor. I am excited for her. She and the other members of the Fab 5 are just a few of my blessings from going to school. So, busy, busy, busy will be the next, three to five months! Fasten your seat belts, it is going to be a fast, bumpy ride!!!!! Oh, and use your hair products if you don't want your hair to look all yucky at the end of the ride!!!!! lol

Hi Kim,
Keep a positive attitude! Sounds like you've done well up to now, and you've probably learned a lot by failing this test (I know, sounds crazy, but its true!). I teach nursing to BSN students. There's also an old saying regarding doctors ("What do you call the person who graduated last in the class in medical school?" (answer: Doctor) The same applies to nursing school....although everyone wants to do well, you just have to PASS to get to take your licensing exam! Hang in there!

Kim,
You are doing great! I know it is difficult, but brush off the yesterday and look forward to tomorrow. You have so much to be proud of and will be an amazing nurse. Keep reaching for new heights, girl! We are rooting for you!
