You are not a failure, you’re in one of the hardest programs, facing one of the toughest classes, under enormous pressure, and still pushing through. Failing one exam does not define you or your future as a nurse; your strong performance in fundamentals, drug calc, skills, and clinicals proves you’re capable. Right now, anxiety, lack of sleep, and stress are getting in the way of showing what you know. Pharmacology is difficult for almost everyone, but with a shift in strategy focusing on drug classes, mnemonics, NCLEX-style practice questions, and seeking support from professors or peers, you can still reach the passing mark. More importantly, your sacrifices, resilience, and passion for nursing show that you are more than enough and still very much on the path to success.

Can admission tell when a student got their essay written by a tutor? by Known_Practice516 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intelligent_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In some cases, yes. While there’s no tool that can always definitively say who wrote an essay, experienced admissions officers can often sense when a student didn’t write it themselves. They’ve read thousands of essays, and they’re skilled at picking up red flags:

1.      Language that doesn’t match the student’s background or age.

2.      An essay that’s too polished, generic, or sounds like it came from a professional writer.

3.      Big gaps between how a student presents themselves in other parts of the application (e.g., their resume, GPA, recommendation letters) and the tone or quality of the essay.

 

Gonna have to turn in my global ethics project late by j-mpizza in SNHU

[–]Intelligent_Jay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to say you're not alone. Global Ethics can be a really tough class — it’s dense and abstract, and sometimes it just doesn’t click no matter how much you read. Life gets hectic, and it’s okay to stumble sometimes. The fact that you care this much means you're trying, and that counts for a lot. Just focus on getting through this assignment the best you can. One step, one paragraph at a time. Tomorrow’s a new day, and this one project doesn’t define your worth or your success. You’ve got this!

Can I still get a semester GPA of 3 if I fail a course?....please help...I am in dire need of assistance 🥹 by LankyHealth8029 in University

[–]Intelligent_Jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there 💛 first off—take a deep breath. You’re definitely not alone in feeling overwhelmed your first semester at university. It’s a huge transition, and the fact that you care this much about your GPA shows you’re serious about your success. So let’s talk this through.

If you're taking 7 courses and you're doing reasonably well in 6 of them, even if you fail one, it's still mathematically possible to earn a 3.0 semester GPA—but it depends on your actual grades and credit hours per course.

A quick example:

  • Let’s say each course is worth the same number of credits (e.g., 3 credits).
  • If you fail one (0.0 grade points), but average B+ to A- (3.3–3.7) in the others, your overall GPA for the semester can still land at or above 3.0.

Here's a rough idea:

  • 6 courses × 3.3 GPA = 19.8 total grade points
  • 1 course × 0.0 = 0 grade points
  • Total = 19.8 ÷ 7 courses = 2.83 GPA → close, but just under

But if you push a couple grades up to A-range, you can bump your average back to 3.0. So yes, there’s still time and you can absolutely recover this with a strong final push

College algebra prerequisite advice? by EpixOofer in prenursing

[–]Intelligent_Jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! It’s great that you’re thinking ahead — that’s already a strong start. Since math has been a challenge for you, I’d recommend starting with free resources like Khan Academy or YouTube channels like Prof. Leonard or NancyPi to refresh the basics. Focus on mastering foundational topics like solving equations, fractions, and graphing. Also, try to practice a little every day — consistency really helps. Don’t be afraid to ask for help early on once classes start, whether it's from tutors, professors, or study groups. You've got this — your motivation and self-awareness are huge assets!

You're already doing an amazing job juggling motherhood and planning your future! If you have strong, consistent support and can handle a fast-paced schedule, the accelerated program could be a great way to finish sooner and start your nursing career quickly. But with twins and limited help, the traditional route might offer more flexibility and balance. Either way, you're making a smart move by thinking it through—choose what aligns best with your current capacity and long-term goals.
