LPN to RN, thinking of dropping out :(

Im an LPN and I am back in school working on my RN. I'm thinking of dropping out because I am struggling so much.

I'm taking A&P for the 3rd time, (1st time in High school 5 years ago and second time in LPN school 2 yrs ago) and I am struggling so much. I feel like I'm trying so hard to study and I'm failing miserably. I studied for my first exam, and got a C. I studied even harder for my next exam and got a D! I'm also taking a clinical math and struggling with that too. I got an F on my first exam and I studied a lot for that too.

I just feel so incredibly overwhelmed and although I knew it would not be easy, I feel like this is so hard that I'm going to fail out anyway. I'm so stressed and freaking out that I cant even look at my A&P notes without feeling a cloud of stress in my chest. I guess its anxiety. I'm really freaking out and its brought me to tears because I want it so bad but I feel like I'm not smart enough. All my other classmates seem to be doing fine while Im struggling so much to get my C,D and Fs.

I don't know what to do. I am getting tutored and talk to my teachers but all they said was basically Relax and Study more... I just dont know what to do :confused: :cry:

My advice would be to only take one class per quarter/semester if you're struggling because you need to spend extra time studying. College A&P is not the same as A&P for high school or A&P for an LPN program.

You better not drop out and give up because quitters never win. You can always take the class again for a better grade in the future.
