anyone ever failed a pre-requisite

Published

i currently have a B average in all my pre-reqs except for the last one i'm taking which is Microbiology and i blame my failing on my inability to focus due to the fact that My marriage has ended in the worst case scenario (wife cheated w/ neighborhood guys)....People say i'll get over it, but since i left my home 3 months ago, the problems only got worse....

1. hard time trying to find stable residence cause I start an ADN program in August 20006 and I don't want to work fulltime and go to school full time just to keep a roof over my head.

2. I now stay in my sisters 1 bedroom apt., Mind you that i have other relatives w/ plenty of space (big bro, 4 bedroom, no kids or girlfriend)

3. Constant questions from family about the marriage, but no offers of help.

4. I have a hard time focusing and wonder if i will ever get over it so i can resume my academic career with ease.

5. I sleep on my sister couch and dont know if i can do this for an entire 2 year ADN program, she says i can stay for however long, but I sometimes want to be alone away from everyone and thats hard when youre in a 1 bedroom apt.

6. I no longer have friends or a social life, no support network and i feel like nursing school is going to be the hardest thing i've ever done, this is indeed by far the worst season of my life...i think i'm going crazy, i want to cry everyday.....any advice please

I'm so sorry for you! I know how much it is terrible to have life events interfere with school. Have you thought of withdrawing from the class to save your GPA if you can? Just until you can get a little more settled maybe? You're going through a lot right now! Does your school have counselors available for you to talk with? Sometimes they also have career centers to help assist students in getting jobs that are flexible with their schedules so they can afford to rent and what not. Also take out loans and aid if you can so you can move. Or maybe you and your sister can move into a larger apartment to share, so you don't have all the responsibility of the rent.

No matter what your situation nursing school will indeed be one of the hardest things you'll ever do. It would definately help to somehow get your life situated prior to starting. Maybe some time out is in order. It's entirely normal to go through anger, depression and grief.

Good luck to you.

hey guys an amazing thing just happened......My mom has just came to me saying she has good news for me, i said what "Did i get a scholarship", she said no, She just bought a brand new home and that i can have a room, This is amazing to me because i didn't want to take out a loan or borrow money and she said she'll charge me next to nothing for rent and that shes proud i'm going into nursing because she never got a chance to finish nursing school due to raising a family on her own, And the new house is like a 10 minute walk from the nursing school i'll be attending. I came to this site to vent my frustrations, and along with prayer things are working out in my favor, I now have to get over this breakup and prepare for the ultimate challenge of nursing school.......Thanks guys
