So as most of u know I am repeating the same silly class.. B"H met all of my clinical objectives, two weeks early. My theory average is 90  I am enjoying proving to the school how silly they were for making me repeat.. |

Good for you for persevering!
90=B? wow. sure must be tough to keep your GPA up. Are there A-'s?
In my school 89.5 was an A-, and 94.5 was an A.

It's definitely not easy, they keep saying you need a C to pass, and considering the grading it's very easy to slip into a C with an 80.. Oh and if you have a 92.8 they do not round up, killer no? 76 is passing, barely. |

Sounds stressful...plan a mini vacation between semesters to clear the head. And regarding grades, unless you are applying for a scholarship I have never heard of nurses on the units ever discusses them....One of the best nurses I know just barely scraped through nursing school probably with a 76.5...

And here I finished school with a 3.85, the top GPA in the class and can't find a job.. when most of my class has been hired already. Grades don't mean much, even in grad school applications.

yeah I have been told that also, I am trying to get a job at a hospital so that they can get to know me and maybe hire me when I graduate.. I am already volunteering...
I have also been told that it is not grades...
yes I definitely take a break and breath, sadly my one week break is the week before pesach!!! Not sure how much of a break I will get! Then I am starting my second half of the semester..

I think your problem is more Shabbos related than grades, May Hashem reward you for your sacrifice- and of course the Spanish speaking problems. Can you widen the circumference of your options?
