I'm in a bsn program .I 'm a smart student until i failed this nursing class i felt like i am so dumb.My parents blamed me. I was ashamed in front of my friends. I am praying so hard to keep my spirits going. I felt like afailure My teacher never teaches n she just go through slides. So basically i do n't have an understanding. I have never worked in hospital. I 'm a young student. My mom was telling me to got to an lpn skool so i will know the basics but many in my class failed about 20.what should i do to have an understanding in hospital setting. i failed my 1st semster fundamentals of nursing due to hard questions.I understood every procedure but my problems was questions. The first few tests i was nervous and i failed but i passed the final and another test but failed other three.I made really hard but i know that i was gng to fail so i stopped studying and i failed by 5 points. I have to repeat these class in my skool u r allowed to repeat only one nursing class.i 'm so scared if if fail another i 'm out of the program.I passed other classes in my 1stsemster but i failed fundamentals:crying2:. If i move to a new skool i hve to start from the scratch. I was taking 4 classes this semster . So i think that's why i failed plus it was whole new testing style n nclex questions.I bought 4 different types of review books for foundations now n plan on to do group studying.First semster i was not prepared at all .I did n't had the recorder or anything now i purchased one. Now fighting really hard.I am a nervous n anxiuous person my body breaks down wheni get that foundation test.My foundation class was a nightmare. i was mentally n physically drained but adjusting 1st semster was really hard, now i adjusted. i now know what to expect ,and i 'm doing 2 classes or part time at a time like hard classes.So i can study and take easy classes in summer.Any advice further going down the nursing road. I really want to be a nurse n i m fighting my blood n sweat into it.Please pray for me

Well, doesn't matter. Perhaps someone else can use the same advice.

I hate to be harsh, but fundamentals isn't hard. It's the easiest of the classes that are coming. I'm sorry you failed. If nursing is something you feel is for you, then reapply and go from there.

You need to know your information. Not because it will help you succeed, but because you need to pass the NCLEX, provide safe care, and take care of patients.

It's not about us. If you ever thought it was, I suggest you get out now.
