   I appreciate all your responses. I truly love getting your advice because your friends and ex classmates don't always tell you what you need to hear, they can tend to tell you what you want to hear.

   I so wish that was the case, but as soon as you failed clinical you weren't allowed to attend any more lectures or take any more tests due to their concern that you would distract the other students. So I never did get to take the last test or final,...

   I just wish schools could identify students that may be at risk of failing at an earlier time in their education and counsel them on ways to improve or suggest other career options. I have not registered for the NCLEX-PN or reapplied largely in part ...

   I was told by instructor that I could register for the NCLEX-PN since I passed the first four semesters. That was this past December, but I never went and registered. I've sent an email to my advisor requesting more information, so maybe I will still...

   I went to school for 18mos only to fail out the last semester by the clinical instructor from hell. I just set up my payment of $173/ mo for the next 10 years. I just plain feel wronged. How in the world do you have a program where students go all th...

7. Time away and now wanting to jump back in

   snowwhite2002 posted a topic in General Students

   I failed my last semester of the nursing program 5 mos ago. I never had a fail until then so I still had one more try. I just needed a break and just so happened that I found out I was pregnant in January, so maybe it was fate. I've followed my ex cl...

8. Failed Last Semester Clinical

   snowwhite2002 posted a topic in General Students

   I have officially failed clinical in the last semester of the ADN program and I am so bummed. I feel like I have put so much time and effort and to watch all the others that have shared my journey over the past 18 months beaming as they order their g...

9. What I learned in clincals

   snowwhite2002 posted a topic in General Students

   Some of this may seem common sense, but I learned the hard way 1. Anytime your patient has any vital sign outside of the norm immediately relay this information to the primary nurse. If you can't find her. Call her phone. 2. Don't ever touch a p...

10. Still Here...

    snowwhite2002 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in General Students

    I agree. It would be so much easier and I definitely think I would be getting more out of it if I could do the careplan at home or have time to use the book there. She said that here clinicals are not run that way. I think she is trying to get us rea...

11. Still Here...

    snowwhite2002 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in General Students

    I appreciate your honest evaluation of my situation!!! I was not aware that the nursing dx had to be Nanda approved. We aren't allowed to bring books to clinical, but maybe I can memorize some of them.

12. LPN or RN for nursing home

    snowwhite2002 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in LPN-RN

    Thanks for everyone's input. I had no idea it was so fast paced in a nursing home. I love the elderly, but I don't want to work 12 hours w/o time to take a break, that doesn't even sound healthy. I hate that people have to be pushed so hard. Why does...

    snowwhite2002 posted a topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the responses in the past. Your posts have brought me to tears just knowing I am not alone and that others have struggled and went on to accomplish there goals. I am so grateful. 2 more clinicals left and I am so happy. I basically...

14. Is it time to change programs

    snowwhite2002 posted a topic in General Students

    I am a 5th semester nursing student in the ADN program. I have made a series of mistakes this semester. Personally I don't want to relive them so I am not going into detail, but after much reflection I am really debating if I am capable of this job. ...

15. LPN or RN for nursing home

    snowwhite2002 posted a topic in LPN-RN

    I am in my last semester for the RN program. I have been struggling and have some bad marks in clinical for not being able to keep up with the pace. I might just need more practice. I have really been thinking I want to work in a nursing home. I don'...
