"I got straight A's in nursing school..." 😅

[@penni6432]

As an RN and nursing instructor, skills and knowledge level are what I want to observe. Some people are lucky enough to be able to read and retain everything, while others are just as smart but struggle with testing. I've seen "straight A" students not become nurses because they struggled at bedside. I've seen "C" students be the best nurse possible. The ultimate goal is confident, competent, safe nursing.

All the people I know who made straight As deserve them, it’s not easy!! A lot of hard work!! A classmate of mine had her second baby, got pregnant with her third, is an army vet, worked as a tech and made As. She was a beast

[@simplysaiige]

very inspiring!

[@chiknosis]

Well they worked for it so yeah

[@jfaustin1742]

nah, they deserve the recognition. Lets be supportive

[@NurseInTheMaking]

For sure! 👏 That is not at all easy to do!

[@Littleladymm]

I understand sometimes isn't about the grade but if a person wasn't a A student in high school but then they are in college or RN school, it is okay to recognize that achievements. It's not to throw it in anyones face... It's more about self congratulations 🎉 especially when a person has serious life struggles.

That C and B range resonated with my soul 😂😂

[@SuperBlossom2011]

😂😂 80 is C

[@kittydollsxo189]

Getting all A's is just a personal academic challenge for me, I'm not smarter than the next. Besides, it is also important just in case I switch careers; I want a strong GPA moving forward.

2nd semester hit me hard but I've made As and Bs the other semesters☺️ keep going nurses, everyday is a day closer to the finish line💯

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Keep pushing through - you got this!! I promise, it is so worth it 🙌 💛

Amen, don’t change in PA school either 😂

[@jeffreyb2135]

Dang, a B in my school is a fail. 90% and above, or you're out!😢

[@jessicaschoonmaker2073]

Wtf that’s insane

[@jeffreyb2135]

@jessicaschoonmaker2073 No joke, look it up at Roseman University of Health Sciences. But, I just took my exit exam on Thursday and was pinned on Saturday. No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks!!!

@chrisychris0117 Thank you so much😊 I couldn't be happier!!! I've been a nurse for all of 9 months, I'm a nurse manager now, and I was just awarded one of the best 50 nurse leaders under 50 in Nevada 2024 by the Nevada Nurses Foundation and the Nevada Board of Nursing!

It's like cool, you got straight A's.... go do your CRNA thing man

[@mememom9293]

Rather have the A nurse than B team nurse....

[@user-mm6wc1vf9m]

But you will never know when they’re taking care of you in the hospital😅

[@mariekano9730]

The A nurse will be the one to kill you in the real nursing world. Grades don't mean anything in the real world. It helps you pass but not when you're actually working with doctors and other nurses and real patients

[@OldCBnGuns]

I almost didn’t make it out of maternity In Massachusetts LPNs still take maternity. My god was that close! As a male nurse with no kids I had no idea. Hopefully they dropped this requirement and maybe replaced it with psych or something. As LPNs are much much more likely to work in Psych than maternity.

[@sergio1311-j5l]

Well if you wanna be a CRNA or pursue a different degree it does!

[@Linkfan007]

RIGHT?! 😂

[@NurseInTheMaking]

You get it 👏

[@lucasp1185]

Well, there is a direct correlation between those who excel in nursing or college and their career advancement. So, if you are an 'A' student, the likelihood of you reaching the top of the career ladder is high compared to those who barely pass. This is based on research conducted by Duke University...so on average "B" and "C" students will work for "A" student...

[@TheChaz81]

But serious question ⁉️ having served in the Marines as reference, I have never seen a bigger bunch of bullies than I did in Nursing school, why is that?

I would hope so..

[@Luvu_deji]

[@michelecurtis887]

The nursing school I went to anything lower than a B was a failing grade, so you basically got D’s 🤷‍♀️ just sayin 😊

[@SnuggleBunnyBaby]

D for degree 😝

[@michelecurtis887]

@@SnuggleBunnyBaby that’s cool, but if you or your child were laying in that hospital bed, do you want the A nurse or the D nurse? 🤷‍♀️ 😁😘

[@stefanb8727]

@@michelecurtis887 That depends, i've had straight A nurses who 'knew all' and also had straight F's in listening/comforting patiënts. Especially as a Psychiatry Nurse, being able to listen to people and comfort them can mean the difference between a mental crisis or not for some patiënts. Straight A's are often overrated, I rather wish they'd looked at the total package. Because some B nurses are often way better in the field then those that are A's on paper.
