I finally finished my 3rd semester of nursing school. 3 DOWN, 1 TO GO!!! Everyone has to take the final exam! I am not gonna lie, most people were stressed to the heavens about our final, but honestly I was not. Not that I shouldn't have been but I think I was just experiencing burnout for the semester. Earlier in the semester we were given the opportunity to earn a "Crib Card" to use on our final. Which is a 3x5 notecard with a special stamp that we can put anything handy for the test on and use it during our final. I did indeed take hold of this opportunity and earned my very own crib car. Did I put that thing to use... well NO! This is where my burnout/senioritis kicked in. I did not pick up narry a book or note or a single thing at all to study for this test. When I sat down to take it with my empty crib card I was kicking myself in the butt fo not putting at least the simplest of things such a NORMAL lab values, ABG's and telemetry strips or something...
SO... you wonder, HOW DID I DO???
I passed! I needed a 46 to receive a 75 in the class. Which in Nursing school is considered passing! I will just leave it to yall that I made an 80 as my final grade in lecture of 3rd semester nursing school. And in clinicals I am proud to say that I made a 99.8!! Yes that is NOT a typo, I said a 99.8!!!
I do think thought that everyone should know that in nursing school, everyone strives to just make at least a C!! The motto is, C is the new A! C=RN
Whatever it takes to get by...
So I am about to be off to Gran's to celebrate Christmas for the weekend! I will leave yall with one sweet picture of my Dad and my siblings and my daughter and my sweet cousins Megan and Ben visting with Mr. Santa at Chicken Express yesterday!!! My dad takes all of us every year to see Santa, it is a tradition...
