Before entering the incredibly challenging major of nursing, one must go through "pre-nursing." These are the semesters leading up to applying for nursing school. AKA you better work your butt off if you plan on getting in the first go around. While it is definitely not as difficult as nursing school by any means, it is stressful in its own way.
When your friends say "D's get degrees!" but you know D's won't get you into nursing school
What's a D? Or a C? Never heard of them.
When you meet another pre-nursing major in the same classes as you
Hold onto them.
When your test grades get released
The resiliency is real.
Coming to your professor's office hours looking for that extra credit
Every little effort counts :)))
After a very stressful day of studying
Only a small mental breakdown.
Walking into your last Biology exam while you've got a borderline B
Sometimes you just need a pep talk.
"Yes, your final exam is cumulative."
Ouch. Why.
Sitting in lecture for a professor whose teaching style you aren't fond of
Flipped classroom? A professor who rambles 24/7? No thanks.
When your test appears to look like ~nothing~ you studied
It only hurts a lot.
Finally seeing your studying pay off
The most rewarding feeling ever.
