Hi Everyone,I was a nursing student who failed in my third clinical semester unfortunately and I am sooooo upset about the whole deal... 2 points dragged me down and out the program that I worked soooo hard on since 2003!! I applied to EC and am wondering if anyone else from NY are in the same situation as I am...regards, Di

Yes, I was in the same situation as you (except with me it was less than 1 point and my last semester). I am taking my last nursing concepts exam next week, and then I will be CPNE eligible. I started EC in 10/07. You can do this program and become an RN, but it takes a lot of time and effort. Good luck!

Hi don't get down I did the same thing and started EC in Aug of 07. I live in Buffalo,NY it's hard to relearn how to study on your own but you can do it. I too beat up on my self for not passing.

I am also in the same boat. Passed all nursing classes.

But could not pass the HESI exit exam that was required to receive my ADN degree-- needed an 850 made an 838.

I am now going through Excelsior.

Hi, Thank you so much for your reply, Di

I understand how you feel. I went through all of the stages of grief. I realized that I was not the first person who that had happened to and I would not be the last (unfortuantely). My last clinical instructor gave me the news that I had failed and would not be graduating, and she and I both were in shock and disbelief. I was 5 days away from graduating from an ADN program.

Thanks to her research and caring heart, she introduced me to Excelsior on that day, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart. She told me to fulfill my dream of becoming an RN and come back to that school of nursing and prove to them that they were wrong and yes I do have what it takes to become an RN.

One thing I realized was that it was okay to grieve. I replayed the moments of my final exam over and over until I knew where I had made silly mistakes, and knew I would never make those same mistakes again. However in grieving, I realized that feeling sorry for myself would only keep me down. You must allow time for yourself to reflect positively about what happened and either move on or stay down. I hate to sound to blunt, but that is the truth.

Excelsior gave me a second chance, and you can have it too as long as you believe in yourself, stay confident,motivated, determined, stong, courageous, and fight a good fight! Don't let the haters get in your head. All of my friends are RN's and all of them have continually supported me through this program. I knew I had an advantage since I had sweated through one of the most rigorous RN programs. I realized Excelsior didn't have clinicals, and I am no LPN, so I entered an agreement with the #1 trauma hospital in my state and have been fulfilling precepted hours with skills checkoffs since I have been enrolled in the Excelsior program.

I will be willing to assist you if I can. Please feel free to send me a pm.

Much sucess to you! :cheers:

I was in that same exact situation. I failed the third semester and by 2 points. I was so depressed I felt like a big failure. I knew the material I but somehow i just messed up the final. But now I am so glad that I found excelsior to make my dreams of being a nurse about to come true. Currently Im on NC 6. Hope to be CPNE elegible by march.

Good luck with your studies and put that RN behind your name.
