Besides all of the great experiences at clinicals, I still have lecture to think about. This last term was the hardest for me. Besides Pathophysiology, concept maps, discussion board posts, and clinical prep work, I had lecture NRS 112. I already knew from the beginning going in that class that it was going to be tough. I only had three exams in that class and one quiz. I passed the first midterm of 40 questions barely. I fell short on the second one, but aced the quiz. So here I am on the line with a 78% in the class. And here comes the final day of school with a final of 80 questions cumulative with added renal, gastro-intestinal, endocrine, and basically all the body's systems crammed into one final with an hour and 45 minutes to take.
8:00am comes around and I sit at that computer praying. I needed 55 correct to pass or I would have to take that class over again in the fall. Not only would I have to redo clinicals and lecture, I also wouldn't be with my nursing group of 40 students that I have been with for the past 6 months. So along with the nervousness and anxiety, the migraines came in once a day for the last two weeks of school. STRESS!!!!
My instructor typed in the password and so it began. I got to say, the select all apply questions were horrible. I knew endocrine pretty well and I aced cardio! I still left the exam scared....
It wasn't summer for me yet until I got that grade. Prayers are powerful and God is so good to us. I couldn't ask for a better start to my summer vacation. I got 64 out of 80! I got a B!!
Hello to summer vacation and goodbye to my first year of nursing school. I got the hardest term over with, so they say. I am now officially halfway to my calling of grace!!! :) So excited! Thank you Jesus! :)
