Hello guys ive been posting a lot here and is good to see how everyone supports each other and dont judge you or attack you . im writing this with tears in my eyes because i might be getting kicked out of the program for failing my AP 2 class twice , today was my final and even doe i studied for almost 3 weeks straight no going out , no family gatherings missed my bday , no dating, no social media went to all the tutorings , i failed . I feel like my life is ending and i'm sorry for the drama but i feel like im not good enough , i dont have anyone to talk to because my friends tend to be a little judgmental and they will tell me to quit . several of my classmates failed and they dont care but i do , some suggested going to a different school. so right after my exam i met with the dean and she told me to write a appeal letter to let me do it again meaning if it gets approved i will be 3000 times more stressed about it because is my final attempt to this , she also told me she might help me to add concepts 1 so i don't stay behind . but it might be too much for me ... i think i can handle it but right now i don't know what is going to happen , i just cant stop crying and i wish my parents were alive to have someone to guide me and at least just tell me that everything is going to be ok .

Don't give up hope because if you really want this you will find a way trust me that's the truth. You have to push yourself and believe in yourself. Dont listen to your friends; push through. If you really want it the way i did you will find a way to make it work. I believe in you! Dont give up your dream; keep pushing forward and keep your head up. See your downfalls and change them; fix them.

it is really what i want but right now i feel super lost and sad... i have no motivation to keep going i dont know what tp do anymore i ussually find a solution fast but im down

When you say you do quizlet, are you making your own sets, or using other people's? The act of making the set yourself goes a long way in helping you retain information. To give you an idea, this is how I handle each chapter in A&P:

I take notes on the lecture, then make a typed outline from my notes. Then I go through my outline and write down the information in small chunks, what would be on a flash card. As I do that, I write the FRONT of the paper flash cards. So for something like the respiratory system, I might write "types of alveolar cells" on the front of a flash card, but not fill in the info on the back. Once I get through all my content rewriting it, and filling out the front of all the cards I'll need, I read the chapter in the book, focusing on the concepts that were covered in the lecture. Then I go through my stack of flash cards and fill out the backs by memory. By now I've mostly got the info memorized, but I may have to check a couple things against my notes. Then, I head over to quizlet, and looking only at the fronts of my flash cards I make a set that's identical to my paper set. I fill in the backs completely by memory. I then review my quizlet once or more per day until test day. If there's something that I can't seem to retain, I'll write it over and over until I do.

That's a lot to do, and it takes many hours per chapter, but it allows me to go into my exams confident that I have retained all the info needed.

Are you passing the quizlets after studying?

Get out of the self misery and do something constructive. How many hours have you spent devising a new study plan and independently going over the material in anticipation of repeating the course? Much better than moping around feeling sorry for yourself.

thank you

Sometimes we gotta hear the bitter truth. We usually tell people here to give themselves one or three days to feel really, really bad. Then stop. Go to constructive action. You will feel a lot better if you start looking toward positive action, even if it is only making a new Plan A, B, and C. Best wishes.

On the bright side, you should be happy because you may get another chance to pass the class. It's better than having no chance at all. I think now, you should calm down, and rethink about why you failed that class? Which part is your weakness? Maybe you can use record for lecture and listen again later. Don't force yourself study so hard when you are in stressed mode. Best wishes.

If being a nurse is something that you really want to do then there will be a way for you to become a nurse. As for the program that is kicking you out, I think that there is no way around that. You've shown them that you cannot cut it in their program and I doubt that they'll give you a third chance. Go out and find another school and prove to yourself and the new school that you can be a great student and nurse and as soon as you know it, you'll have that RN at the end of your name.

I wish you the best!

I've been at this point where my anixety has been my worst enemy or t didnt have the appropriate study plan in place or at a loss regarding a better plan. I think kicking someone when they are feelind down isnt nice or encouraging. Perhaps advising on how to switch gears? I know the nursing program is supposed to be hard but people shouldnt be inhumane.

Awful disrespectful uncompassionate comment caliotter3 and Mariewong.

Not disrespectful but a dose of reality and good advice. If one is wallowing in misery, one cannot move forward. A better use of time would be creating a plan.

I had had the opportunity to listen to Hal Elrod once- his 5 minute rule is an excellent idea.

He told his father, I live by the five minute rule. When something bad happens, you allow yourself to feel all of your emotions about it – to really feel angry or hurt or upset or whatever, but only for five minutes. After five minutes, if you can't change it, you accept it and move on. Kind of like the famous Serenity Prayer recited by addicts the world over.
