This was a really hard class. I studied my guts out this semester. I went in to the final with a low A. I needed a good grade in this class to not only pull up my overall GPA, but my science GPA up as well. In order to keep my hard earned A, I could only miss 4 out of 80 questions. The final was comprehensive. It covered all the material we have learned since August. Knowing I could only miss 4 on the final, I studied even harder.
I missed 5.
Yep, one stinkin' point! It makes the A- even more painful.
Earlier in the semester, the professor marked an extra point on one of my tests. I went in and told him my actual score. He asked me if I was sure, I told him yes. He changed the score.
Sometimes when you do the right thing, it feels great and you are so happy inside. Other times you do the right thing and it doesn't feel good. It's still the right thing to do.
I'm bothered by the fact that I was so close to an A, but I can honestly say that I earned every single point I received and there is no shame in that.
I've come realize that nursing is a whole lot more than test scores. It's all about doing the right thing.
