Thanks for your blog posting of the meaning behind an A, it really helped me.<br /><br />NPO-I am more worried about the 5 history books I had to buy to get through my two history classes the next few weeks.<br /><br />CC-Thanks for your encouragement.<br /><br />Marianne-I keep telling myself that a super great nurse shows in the way they take care of their patients. And that’s what I plan to do.<br /><br />Student CNM-The comments are strange and none of my other instructors had a problem with me. Maybe she just wants me to be the best of the best and thinks all the extra criticism will help me be better? Who knows?<br /><br />Dominique-I posted a picture blog.<br /><br />MamaDoodle-A warning card huh, well that sucks doesn’t it? I learn better in an environment that is visual and auditory and I could explain different processes instead of filling in the right choice in black and white on a paper. I still will be able to finish this semester with nursing honors so I’m not worried but it just sucks to have to hear those words upon finishing my last final for the semester.Frazzled-Razzle-RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840442693927025940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29812292900757368.post-60236463960209288162011-05-20T21:37:37.862-05:002011-05-20T21:37:37.862-05:00I got a "warning card" during my first q...I got a "warning card" during my first quarter of nursing school and it was crushing. I was called into the professors' office where both professors that taught the course scolded me for not studying correctly. <br /><br />The few fact/exam-based courses nearly killed my chances of becoming a nurse. However, when we moved on to theory courses where writing and presenting a valid argument ruled the day, I excelled. <br /><br />I ended up graduating with honors. I refrained from marching into the professors' office and saying "I told you so!" But I thought it :)MamaDoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775062333048171808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29812292900757368.post-65941725985492021642011-05-20T16:26:48.793-05:002011-05-20T16:26:48.793-05:00Where's the pic's of your hairdo!

Enjoy your sort of time off!<br /><br /><br />As for the instructor... grades aren't everything. You can be a brilliant, straight A student and still be the worst nurse in the world. I've heard from so many nurses that class gives you the basics, but what you need to be a nurse is learned from experience, so, again, grades would mean nothing on that front. Besides, some people are just really crummy test takers, but that doesn't mean they don't understand the material. So don't worry about it, you're doing just fine!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844401897114561584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29812292900757368.post-50543366320058691592011-05-20T02:08:06.707-05:002011-05-20T02:08:06.707-05:00Congratulations!

Summer classes do stink, but it'll help you get through faster, so keep your eye on the prize!<br /><br />Regarding your instructor's comments, ugh! :( It seems like study groups do help in medicine, because when people quiz you on things, it brings up topics that you may have skipped or missed. BUT, the notetaking and listening skills comments were a little below the belt. I'm sure you'll figure it all out!Red Stethoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992586010449970700noreply@blogger.com
