Dropping out of nursing

This sounds like a great question for your academic advisor. After you speak with that person, you may have some very good information for discussion.

IMO if you are already halfway through and if there is any conceivable way that you can continue on, then by all means do so (trust me on this one, I went though absolute hell in my life outside of school while I was in the program...as though school isn't hard enough!). However, if after you consider all of the options and find that it would be best for you to take a break, then do that. Only you can really decide what's best for you. Good luck, and keep us updated!

I think you need to tell us what went wrong. it is hard to give advice without knowing a little of the problem.

my husband is cheating, and i cant see any way that this is going to last. i will depend on his salary while i school. my advisor said that there is no adverse repercussions, i will just be a re-admit and i will have to review b4 i start.

I would advise you to try and keep going if you are passing. I was going to drop out 8 months ago as my mum was sick and I was depressed, but I kept going till the end of that semester, and was able to be with my mum when I finished before she died. If I did drop out, there would have been no way for me to continue nursing at my school in the States.

It may be best to restart if that is the case. It is better to come back under good terms than to fail out b/c of the distraction. The only thing is there any way to know how long would you have to be out with a breakup or divorce???

I think you'd probably find it harder to go to school if you divorced. If I were you I'd pretend to turn a blind eye to the cheating for now, live off the husband's salary, finish school and find a job. THEN I'd find a lawyer and take him to the cleaners. Don't get sad, look out for your own interests first and then deal with the cheating husband.

:yeahthat: Go ahead and finish so that you have a stable income if you do have to get a divorce and be on your own. It may be harder for you to go back to school later and have to start over. Don't let anyone stand in the way of your education:D Don't drop out, keep going. I'm praying for you!!:redbeathe

Very tough situation. Personally if it were me, I would fake it and get buy for the last year, get my nursing degree, get a job and leave the sorry SOB. But it's not an easy thing to do when emotions run deep. But your half way done and what are the chances if you drop out now that you will make it back soon?

I hope everything works out for you.

:yeahthat: and get your ducks in a row so when you do dump his sorry a$$ you won't have to stress about it!

it is tough to do that but if you think you can, I will also say go ahead.

Girl, I would stay with him and keep my eyes on the prize...I have been through the same thing during nursing college and I am still holding on and yes it affected me but it motivated me at the same time to do well to graduate on time. I will be graduating January and I am happy. My life is in turmoil but I decided to hold on to my dream and take the monitory support from my husband until I can paddle on my own. Mind you, I have not told my husband about my plans. I am playing it safe for school that is all.
