Closure

The semester officially ended on Friday for me, but I did not find out the results of my "Final" exam until this evening. I had two final exams this semester. The first one was on Wednesday, and I wasn't too worried about it. I still studied for it though because I wanted to be prepared. I studied pretty much all week for my second final, NUR 330, because I knew that it was going to be hard.

On Wednesday I took the exam, and I walked away from it feeling like I did well. Without knowing how I did on the first exam, I plunged ahead with my studying for the other one. Even though I felt well about it, I was still apprehensive/nervous about discovering my score! I became quiet a grump towards the end of the week. I was so nervous about this exam because only 40% of the class will pass the course. The statistic then goes on to say that whoever passes this course has a 90% chance of passing the NCLEX, which is the state licensing exam. I needed at least a 70% on this exam to pass the course, and even though I had not scored that low on any of the exams, I will still terrified. I learned so much through this semester, and I was overwhelmed when studying.

My final on Friday was at 7:30 AM, but I believe that I was experiencing an adrenaline rush. I was ready to get it over with. I took the exam, and with every question I gained confidence. I was able to answer the questions without looking at the "multiple choice" options. I felt again that I was comfortable with the way I had performed. I was still grouchy because I wanted to find out what I had scored.

I discovered on Friday afternoon that I received an A on the final I took on Wednesday. I found out tonight that I received a B+ on my Friday exam! I passed the semester. Only one semester left in the "worst" year of Nursing School, and I'm doing well so far! Prayers work!
