Do hiring managers care if you've failed a class or clinical?

This has always been a question I wanted to know about. Many nursing students have not passed a clinical or a class. Some of these nursing students failed because they simply had taken more than they can chew, and had deaths in the family that caused them to lose focus. Others were failed because the clinical instructor deemed them 'too arrogant' even though they arefully competent at their nursing skills.

With these reasons in mind, when a hiring manager notices you took an extra 4-6 months to complete your degree (if they notice), does that play a major role in whether they want to hire you as a new grad because of not passing a class?

They do not look st your gpa or if you failed a class. They look for a person who has the right attitude and work ethics. My manager said anybody can be trained but personality can't be changed.

If asked, you should not lie, but you can say that it was better if you took more time to have mastery of the material, and you are glad you did.

I'm betting they won't even ask, as lots of people take variable times to graduate. If you did graduate, you have a legitimate degree, and you passed NCLEX, that's pretty much what they want to know.
