today i just met with an acadeic advisor at my school and found out some very discouraging things. 1. i will have to stya at my cc for another semester, 2. my academic record is distasteful because i have two w's and one f, 3 i have to take another lab(i recently developed a hate for labs). i was so happy becasue i finally thought i had everything figured out, my transfer was gonna be smooth, my grades were good, and class is almost over but now i have slipped into a sad place. considering the fact that it is gonna take me three years to get an associates degree and 6 years to get a bachlors i figure i might as well try to get into an assocites/diploma nursing program but, after talking to the advisor i am really discouraged. the advisor told me i wouldnt be a good canidate for my schools prgoram becasue they select students on a point system and i had lost three points because of my withdrawls and my "f". finding this out i figured if my school wouldnt want me no one else would. i am trying to not drown myself in sorrow but it is very hard because i really thought i would be able to start my program in fall 04. i needed to vent! thanks for listening, i must now prepare for my bio and sociology test tomorrow.

Don't even think about giving up. There are going to be a lot of trials and tribulations in nursing schools and in life. Don't worry you WILL do it...why???....because you WON'T settle for anything else.

Keep your eyes on the prize!!!

Hi,

I have also been struggling for a while and I never seem able to get started, I was admited to a BSN program in Hawaii and when I finished all my pre-reqs and enrolled for my first clinical classes Mu husband got orders to move to Germany with the military and so I never started my clinicals. I was devastated because I'm not getting any younger and I want to get an MSN eventually. I was really sad about it for a while but now I'm up again and moving and since I'm living in Germany I'm going to try an online degree and if that doesn't work I'll try again in three years when I return to the States. My goal is to become a Nurse and I'll become one no matter how long it takes! Don't give up; it may take a little longer but you'll get there eventually if you keep trying!
