I don't know what to do. I know that there is nothing else I want to do in life but a be a nurse. If I fail, I have 50k in student loans that will start collecting and I cannot afford to start over in a new program. Any advice??
Geez, I don't know.
If the semester's almost done and you KNOW you can't get the A's that they require of you then I guess I'd start trying to figure out how to recover.
1) Personally, I'd go to each teacher and directly ask if there's anything you can do at this point (it may be too late, though). Who knows, they may take pity upon you and give you a chance to ace the final for an A in the class (happened to me once way back in the day).
2) Do you qualify for an LVN license? Could you at least go to an LVN program?
3) Maybe become a CNA and work for awhile and then see about school again.
4) Check with the ASN programs and see if you could get in and then test out of some classes.
You're in a tough spot but keep your chin up and figure something out.
