Humbling

I am officially a failing nursing student! Ok, that might be a little exaggerative, but that is exactly how I am feeling right now. Took my first Theory exam and got a C! A C! After all those long hours of studying what am I doing wrong? Being 26wks pregnant and trying to push through it all when I really just want to curl up in bed, makes it even harder to swallow. For me its not about getting straight A's - its more important that I GET IT...you know the analytic thinking side of it all. Being able to put it all together like in a puzzle. This is the foundational part of nursing and if I cant get that then what kind of nurse will I be.

This isnt the end of the world by any means but my success is important to me. I always strive to be EXCEPTIONAL at all that I do. So I will move forward in some way but for today I will just sit on my pity pot because it feels good :(
