Not cut for it?
Okay, I am 20, Female. I am currently in my second year of college. Last year during the middle of the year I realized what I was majoring in wasn't what I wanted for my life.
So, I made the decision to go pre-nursing. My first anatomy test this year went awful. I got a "C" on the lecture part and a big ugly "F" on the lab part. My GPA last year was about a 3.3 which isn't bad by any means, but it's not nursing school material.
I really thought I studied for this exam but I guess I didn't study hard enough. I am afraid I won't have what it takes to get into nursing school, and succeed in nursing school.
My school is a satellite school of a large well known public university and is consists of about 2,000 people
I really, really want this. I want this more than anything right now. I am very stressed usually all the time in school because I also work and have bills to pay.
I also might add that I am NOT in the nursing program yet, I can't apply until I'm done with more pre-req's and that won't be until spring. I will know by June 1st, 2014 if I am accepted or not. My school only accepts about 20 people per YEAR. This is out of around 100
I apologize for all of the above junk but I feel it A: helps you understand where I'm at with everything and B: lets me vent out some of my worries and stress.
Finally, my question comes down to this: What can I do to become like a super college student? Quitting work isn't an option. Are there any nursing students, or even nurses on here who applied for tough schools and managed to get in?
What about any honors students, or students who beat the odds and really succeeded while working and going to school?
I feel I seriously need like a college/ life/time management boot camp.
I've never been a straight A student, and I don't feel like I know how to be.
Please help me get my priorities straight so that I can be the great nurse I am meant to be!
Thank you so much for your time and thoughts.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
What you need to do is study, study, study! When ever you're off work, dedicate your time to studying. No TV, facebook, any distractions, etc. Try to form a study group with class mates. I've realized that studying in groups is not only fun, but also helpful. Just because you did bad in one class doesn't mean you're going to fail, so continue and work hard at it and you will succeed.
