Haven't flunked out yet

Had my first big nursing test yesterday, and made a 92. This is of course, NOT an A. Not in nursing school land. Who cares? As a guy in the class ahead of me said, C=RN. I have done nothing but read for the last two days, and still didn't get it done. By the time I'd read about 40 pages, I decided to skim and only read what looks important and I STILL didn't get finished. That means I also barely looked at the math. Math......we have a quiz on it every week and we have to do all studying on our own time, and if we don't make at least a 90% on the test, we are OUT OF HERE!! Now, that said, the conversions and dosage calculations really aren't hard at all. I had most of that in chemistry. The problem is the syringes and labels and abrev. are all a foreign language to me and I have to know that too. I still feel like I'm faking everyone out as a competent person, and they're going to find out I'm an idiot and boot me out the door.

Don't you just hate nursing school's grading scale? Still, that was awesome!

Drug mistakes are the #1 way that nurses cause harm, that is why there must be no mistakes, and they emphasize it so much.

Keep up the great work!
