These things are designed to be hard.
And when you think about it, it should be.
You are right! And nurses earn every penny of their pay through blood, sweat and tears (and pee, and poo, and puke....) I just had no idea how much time and energy this whole gig would be. Worth it, yes!
See? Already a little light at the end of a long tunnel.
Starting tomorrow, buckling down for another long 2 weeks of studying my a$$ off to nab a better score next time.
You're in my harem... you're darned tootin' you're gonna get a hug!
You'll find me in the fetal position sobbing in that corner over there. --->>> (J/K, I'm all over it now, and more resolved to just keep on keepin' on.)
I hope that after some wine and some sleep and some RL hugs you will be able to keep on learning. Sometimes when I get something wrong, and can find out the correct answer, it sticks with me longer and deeper, so hopefully that will be the same for you.
I have no choice; I know that I'm on this path for a reason and I know I'll make it through one way or another. Even if I don't make it through this program, there are others I'll start right away with. And you are so right. The biggest mistakes I've made, are ones I won't make again.
Well that's a tough standard, but I guess that's good because we want folks taking care of us to know their stuff! That said, I know you will get back to it and make sure you know your stuff! This was just a wake up call that this year is harder than last and you will make it through! I hope you enjoyed your wine tonight and tomorrow is a new day!
Remember, There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, Shinin' at the end of every day! .....
It is tough, but I know very necessary too. I just need to re-adjust my learning a bit, and make some tough, but necessary changes to my study group. Had me some wine, but even better, I had a full night's sleep. Did wonders! (I think you saw I used that quote, that I shameless stole from you, on my FB status today.
)
I'm sorry the first exam wasn't what you wanted it to be. Hopefully they get easier from here on!
I think they will. At least we will be getting more study time though too. The first couple of weeks were literally crammed with long, full days with a ton of Orientations and trainings, lab time, looooong lectures, etc... so in a nutshell not enough off-time to just read and study. I hope that with the schedule easing up some, we'll get a bit more time to absorb what we're learning.
Liesa, I am sorry that you went below your usual 88. But a pass is a pass. And originally you said that you were praying for a 78%. So, you acchieved your goal! I am proud of you!! And I am sure you will bounce back! You will get back into your studying routine and that will help.
You are right. I did predict and hope for a 78%. And there is still a small chance of getting one more question, 2% points. We're going to lobby for that, so we'll see. Literally EVERY point counts as many have passed this course with 1 point- unbelievable as it sounds.
Hey Lady! I live your pics of the coast! Makes me a bit homesick.
So sad to hear the news of the shootings. Such a tragedy. I can't imagine not knowing if your loved one is okay and then getting bad news.
I'm sorry your test score wasn't what you'd hoped and worked for. You will get in the groove and do better, I'm sure.
Thanks, Tammie! It was one of those rare, sunny, beautiul weekends we can get now and then here. So naturally, I took advantage and relaxed with my camera.
That would be so hard to wait for news, and get the worse you can imagine. So much grief and sadness.
Chin up, as they say; I know I can do better and I need to keep that bigger goal and endpoint in my focus while not letting this minor setback mess up my thinking.
