Any Advice.. I failed Med Surg2

Published

I am in a hybrid ADN RN program and my grades were good until I got to MedSurg2. I failed by a fraction of points, (I was so close) but I am not sure what to do next. I have young children and live in a remote area.. every school I check on seems to require distant clinicals and four or five days total for the week. I think I could handle two or three days of a commute, but that is about it with the amount of time I need to study and childcare.

I have thought about trying to test out and get my LPN... when I called my college they said I must attend the program first. I thought if I had my LPN, I would have some choices of online or hybrid online programs. Has anyone gone through this and was able to make it work somehow? Maybe and online/hybrid type program...I live in Melbourne, Florida.

The clinical role of an RN is different than that of an LPN, so even if you were in a place to do LPN-RN, it would require additional clinical practicum classes. I know it' crumby, but you may just have to wait until your family obligations are a bit more manageable before you can continue with your nursing education.

I appreciate your response... part of me knows what you are saying is right and the other part is just heart broken.. This is reality.. Thanks HouTx

Can't you return next year and take it? that's how my program was. You were still promised a slot in the following year's class if you failed one class.
