Ex nurse student still interest in nursing

[carla08]

Hello

Up until this past spring semester i was attending a nursing program/BS level. Unfort. i received 2 non passing grades. First course i waited too long to drop course. The 2nd course PHy Assessment i did not pass the final exam in lab but did fine in lecture, B average. Unfort one had to pass both sections of Assessment to pass course. I was not allowed to stay in program.

I am looking at other programs in ST Louis area. The main reasons i did not do well in those classes (others i prev took, i got B's in) was because i was looking for a job (for over a year of being unemployed) and was very stressed out about that and that I got behind in studying and did not develop good study habits until it was too late. I still love nursing, always reading about nursing subjects and now i have found job as patient safety assistant in area hospital.

I wanted to get other people's opinions on this situation. I was recently accepted into area nursing program but on waiting list for clinical.

if you have the desire, go for it. knowing what got you into trouble last time, be extra diligent about not letting it happen again.
