I missed a passing average in one level 1 course by one point. Now I have to repeat all of the level 1 courses in a year! I am feeling very discouraged and pretty much like I am stupid, useless, and an idiot. Has this ever happened to any of you? I am very upset and feeling totally alone and isolated while the rest of my classmates go on, and constantly seem to be rubbing it in my face that I can't go on. I'm sorry guys I know I am whining but I am in need of some serious support. :crying2:

i haven't been in your shoes, however you're only a failure if you don't keep trying. go on and repeat the courses and it will just give you a stronger base to continue in your program. keep your head up high b'c you're still in the running!!

best of wishes to you!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I did not pass semester two, Med-surg and OB peds. I thought my world was over. A WHOLE YEAR to wait until I can redo it. However, that was exactly what needed to happen. I took a semester and did classes that were fun and able to restore my self esteem with As again. Now I am back in and, believe me it makes more the sense the second time around. Hang in there, it is just a rock in your road. Just a minor setback!!!

You Can do it!!:redpinkhe:redpinkhe:redpinkhe:redpinkhe

I am so sorry to hear this! I don't know exactly how you feel, but after just finishing my second semester, my clinical instructor said she was going to fail me, but instead I am on probation. I have never had any complaints from any other clinical instructors. It was in my pediatric rotation. Now I feel like I am going to be walking on eggshells, and my confidence level sucks! Hang in there. I actually took a semester off, and now I am with a new group, so I know how it feels to make friends, and then not move on with them. YOU CAN DO IT!

There were a few people in my class that were taking Fundamentals over for various reasons. They fit right in with the class. Don't worry things will turn out fine don't let them bother you.
