Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

Published

I have recently begun 4th semester in a 2 yr school. Graduation is 4 months away. However, i was just diagnosed with IBS and have consistent extreme stomach pain daily. There is absolutely no way that i could make it through 26 clinical days without leaving early or missing less than 3 days. The pain can't be controlled other than leaving and trying to relax at home. I think that school is making everything much worse due to the stress. My only option is to drop out and wait a semester. I think that nursing is right for me but i need to avoid the stress at this time. I would like to attempt to get a CNA or LPN job during the summer once i get myself better. How do i go about getting a CNA or LPN license after 3 semesters of nursing completed? I've tried googling it, but I can't find anything. Help?

Vida,

I got your pm. I had a reply all typed out and then I discovered that I am not allowed to send a pm until I have posted 15 messages. I don't normally write alot, I just like to read and soak up all the good information but at this rate I'll be there quick!

Here are some links I have saved, they have some interesting statistics.
