It's final's week again.
Monday morning I have the fundamentals final. That one I'm not sweating as I have a strong A in the class and there is no possible way I could fail bad enough on the final to actually flunk.
Heck of a way to look at things, huh? LOL
Tuesday afternoon is the MUCH dreaded pharm final. I've studied my fanny off......not kidding, we're talking 13-15 hrs a day since thursday night. Some of that was typing up the study guides and also doing fundamentals......but the majority was pharm.
Thursday is medication Surg. This darn class had me sweating thanks to a revenge exam tossed at us by the comedian instructor (the one who used to joke all class and has had us so darn far behind). I was actually failing her class thanks to that test. It was unGodly hard (truly outragious) the average grade for it was a 56! She gave it to us because a group got together and complained to the director and she got bawled out. (nothing else they can do because she's retiring) But glory be, my next 2 exams were A's and I pulled that grade up to a middle B. And she gave those of us that were smart enough to stay after the last class......all the info on the exam. So I know I'll be ok for her final.
But of course the dreaded pharm is another matter...........
I have to say this pharm exam has been a collaborated effort among a large portion of the class. On Thursday evening and friday morning I had BFF's funeral to attend. It put me way behind. Just doing the study guides can take hours upon hours. But a friend emailed me her guide once it was finished as a surprise. And she's doing probably the best of all of us in pharm, so I know it's dependable. And all weekend we've been facebooking each other, calling each other, emailing each other passing back and forth information and helping with classmates questions. And I dunno about the others but I've been badgering the instructor with questions. lol
We have 4 students that unless she just basically hands them the passing grade (or they miraculously pull an A out of their fanny) who are going to fail. We have about 7-8 more who are riding the line with little elbow room. And the rest if they'd fail it bad enough, would also fail.
Instructor, I have to give her credit, has bent over backward. True, she still is a really bad teacher......but she really has been trying everything to help. Let's just say we're the first pharm class to ever get a study guide for the final.
Believe it or not, I'm not overly stressed. I'm not panicky. I'm doing my best. And the insulins that were giving me so much trouble are now making sense and I'm remembering them much better. Same with the other medications.
Still, it all depends on how she asks the questions.
So, good thoughts, crossed body parts, maybe even a little prayer would be very very much appreciated, not just for me but for the whole class. We've got an awesome group of people who I feel would make outstanding nurses.
Thanks
