In April I wrote the article in hopes that my story would inspire other nursing students to persevere against the odds. If you read the original article you will learn that I was a nursing student who beat the odds when my grade appeal was successful after failing a second class. And I was astonished when my article gained attention both positive and negative. To my dismay shortly after the article was published I was notified by an administrator that my username would have to be changed from "BornANurseJB" to "ToBeBornANurseJB". After my username had to be changed, I somehow lost my password and have not been able to gain access to that account. I received some really sweet messages from other members and I hate that I lost touch with those who reached out. So I wanted to give those who care to read an update. Since then I have graduated nursing school (August) and last week I passed the NCLEX (1st time). So today I decided to make a new account with the degree and initials I fought so hard for! It's NurseJen_BSN,RN :)
Florence Nightingale once said, "I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse." Today less than a year later I can proudly say that I never gave or took an excuse. And I hope I always have an attitude that reflects that.
I'm such at a loss right now. Maybe you should go back & reread your original post. That's why.
I've re-read my original post numerous times. Are there grammatical errors? Yes. Did it offend people? Yes. Have I apologized? Yes. Yet you continue to "troll" me, I'm sure you're a great person. If we ever met without knowing the other we'd probably be friends. And I'm sure you'll have a smart or condescending comment after this but just know we're both nurses. I wish you nothing but the best Organized Chaos!!

@ OrganizedChaos your negative comments towards the OP are better than watching the Tuesday evening line up on ABC. Keep it coming.
Lol. Thank you.
Just the way I see it the OP never took accountability. If she would've manned up & just said "Ok, it's my fault. I need to study better/do whatever to improve my grades". But she didn't. She kept making excuses after excuses. It's not fair to someone else who could've been in her spot. Ya'know?

I'm not "trolling" you. I'm voicing my opinion. My opinion is that it's not fair that after failing not once but twice you still were able to stay in the program. Also you gave us nothing but excuses.

That's not impressive, that's just scary.
