Should i just call it a day?

[marsbar37, BSN, RN]

I really need some encouragement. I am a nursing student who was in an accelerated course but failed med/surg 2 and i am just barley passing a second time. I've had problems with all my nursing courses and wondering if i should just give up. I think about if i'm this poor a student would i be a bad nurse or worse hurt a patient? do the successful nurses get good grades right off the bat?

Med-Surg 2 is very hard. There's a lot of content, and accel means that the content is compressed. Once you get past Med-Surg 2, it gets easier.

It is a very tough, PERSONAL decision you need to make. You cannot listen to what others would do (I have learned that lesson). How bad do you want this? You are surrounded by people who (probably) want it badly, both here and in class. What is your school's policy regarding repeating? if you don't pass again, and want to continue to pursue nursing, where can you go (and are you willing to go to a non-accelerated program)?

When does your semester end? It can't hurt to stick it out to see what happens (unless you know you are 'done'). If you're not getting any $ back, you might as well stick it out
