this was me EXACTLY when my roomie told me grades were up for both finals!! i have never been so scared IN MY LIFE that i did not pass a class. i don’t even know what i would have done. run away to NY?? omgsh…so grateful all i can do is say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU LORD because that was tooooooooo close!!! steppin it up for summer. i’m awake! what is it about 2nd semester?? lol
so glad that’s behind me. sooo gladddddddd
also- i received my first real A and it was in 1 of my grad nursing classes! yayyy! even w/ the paper i BS’d and turned in in 5 minutes with no citations, references, cover page, doublespacing or anything. she just emailed me saying i can redo it. it won’t change my A but i did revise it some so as not to be rude lol
ok NOW i can breathe easy!
Patho B
Heatlh Assess/Comm B
Systems of Care 1 A-
Systems of Care Clin S (satisfactory/pass)
Intro to Nursing A
Genetics A
GPA 3.46
everything is 3 credits except the pass/fail class (which technically is but..yeah idk ) and the genetics and intro classes which are 2 credits each
anyways yayyy!!!!!!
thank y’all for being so supportive during my first semester btw
much appreciated =) <3
1 semester down 3 to go!
this time next year i’ll be graduating =))
OK OK OK ! sooooooooo
i got a 93 on my case study
and a 78 on my final
so my 5 grades 9 (4tests + 1case study) are:
85
73.67
83.87
78
93
+3 extra credit points
all out of 500 points
i’m on the border of a B- (2.67) and a B (3.0) for patho!
i’ll be happy with either but a B would be great!
he rounds to the nearest whole number..idk if he rounds percentages id they’re about
and i don’t know how much the extra credit was worth for today’s exam
let’s say at a minimum it was 2 pts i would have an 83.8 if i rounded the points up to the full number and hopefully that would round up to an 84 which is a B
but if not…oh well i passed patho and i passed it with a B (minus or no minus!)
yayyyy!!!
and health assessment!
that makes me soooo happy!
but can y’all pray that i got the B lol?
thanks!
i’m not someone who is too nitpicky about pts (y’all know that annoys me) but i’m soo close lol (i’ve had about 2 or 3 classes where i was 1 or 2 pts away from the next LETTER grade before they implemented the minus system but i guess variances within a letter grade isn’t terrible…it’s just a matter of how it factors into the whole gpa but i’ll be good either way i believe)
honestly though this was the other class that i just wanted to PASS so i really am happy/grateful/excited either way
YOU GUYS!!!!!
OMGSH!!!!
ok so for Health assess i just wanted to PASS because my grade for it was lower than patho (surprisingly) and this morning i took the test and got only 3 wrong! a 95% meaning and A so my grade was not a C…it was not a B-…it’s a B!!!! =)))
i’m soooooooooooo happy you have no idea!!
i pray i got an A in systems of care (fundamentals of nursing) i believe i did but i’m having a hard time calculating my current grade because it’s not as straight forward (like not everything has equal weight and i always have issues w/ that lol) but i’m hoping for an A because i think i have an A in most areas
tomorrow is patho…studying my behind off praying to pass. but who knows maybe my case study will be a great grade and then i’ll do really well tomorrow and have another surprise!
and then genetics. whomp. no one has even looked at it aside from teh review last week lol
y’all keep praying! it’s working!
2 more days
ok so genetics exam didn’t go as well as planned and i hope my A isn’t in jeopardy because i was countin on it as a gpa booster but we shall see
and then health assessment…so remember i got an 80 on the first test (a C) and then a 73 on the 2nd test (failing according to our grading scale) and then on this 1 i got an 80 as well. i was ok w/ that. but then there were grade corrections. so really i got an 85! does it change my grade? no i still have a C in the class but that 85 made me so happy!
and my patho test was an 82 (after gettin an 85 and 73 on the first two)
then my systems of care test was an 88 (94 on the first test)
finally tests are done until finals.
YES LORDDDDDDDDD
i have a case study to finish- that equals as much as a test in patho so yay because all i have to do is write write write and write…and ya girl can write! (despite my loose tumblr grammar/spelling)
and a few other minor things to do..
i will be happy with my grades this semester i know it
today we had seminar and i threw together a presentation in class then presented it
hey it went well though! i work well under pressure and in pubic settings lol.
but seriously i should stop. i just knew it wasn’t that serious
i think when i go home i am going to turn all of my family members (extended family mostly) into case studies and care plans. it will help me invest more in this info because i will have faces to put with issues. and i think i’ll study before i go home so i don’t feel like a dummy in case people bombard me w/ questions..questions they likely actually need to know. so i don’t wanna be like umm..that was on our first test but um..
and u know what? i’m sure it’ll be a learning activity too because most of my fam already knows a LOT about their conditions
i have 4 new apps on my ipod touch- 1 for case studies for med students, 1 for nclex health assess questions, 1 for nclex patho questions, and one for meds
excited but i haven’t opened em yet
Sooooo i got an 85% on my Patho exam!! (i know because he posted the key for us to compare to the answer page we got to keep)
While I was shooting for an A (and completely forgot how nursing school’s grading scale is diff than the regular grading scale lol) I am very happy for the 85% for a number of reasons, and here they are:
1) it proves the prac test was a good indicator of where I actually stood
2) I felt like I really did my best (although I do know of one mistake I made that was definitely a slip up on my part)
3) That is in the B range and while a 74 is passing, I’m glad to not be just barely passing =))
4) I’ve identified where I went wrong in my study plan so now I can definitely plan to do better this-go-round.
That being said..I’m going to take notes on yesterday’s lecture. That’s what took so much time, trying to take notes on all the lectures when I should’ve BEEN done that! Although it was good review…but took a lot of time. I wish I had had time to type them…it’d probably be worth it to do it now, but I’m not sure if that would be wasting time. I just don’t like paper that much..it can get wet, lost, torn, etc
I need to back my computer up too…
but anyways yayy!!!
