An update from the author of , "I Failed out of Nursing School ... Appealed and WON!!"

Published

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.

Thank you!

I noticed that too. That doesn't further confirm or deny that these two identities are one and the same, but in the original thread, Jenn proclaimed that she would be the first to come post pictures of her license to rub everyone's face in it for having ever doubted her. Those pictures never seemed to materialize, just a bunch of empty claims to try and get back at people like OrganizedChaos for calling her out.

Specializes in 15 years in ICU, 22 years in PACU.
LOL-yeah, I saw that. Talk about being stuck on yourself.

Incredible self stickiness. She goes back to "like" her own article with her new account name.

Specializes in LTC and Pediatrics.

I see differences. The OP here states she has ADHD and that it was 2 different classes she appealed. The one in the article has depression, anxiety, inability to concentrate among many other mental health issues and failed the same class twice.

Hey, don't forget she didn't think too much of me. I got accused of paying people to retaliate against her.

You too Mavrick. Basically anyone that called her out. Quilty, that is a fair point. The reports I read all seem to vary but do not specify ADHD as the diagnosis, I stand corrected on that point.

Thank you Z, now I'm feelin' the love.

I gotta hang with quilty on this one. It's narcissistic grandiosity v. narcissistic entitlement.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

I think this thread has run it's course. Closing it
