Fail my first semester of RN class Then what should i do?

Published

studying prerequisite for 3 years

wait for 2years

get into the program

then fail the first semester.

what should it do? spend too much to be a nurse then fail.... and school never take me back its school policy

i didnt go home for 3 days and staying in my friend's house cuz i was so depressed and dont know what to tell to my family.

while i stay in my friends i looked for school for LVN instead RN

i think starting to be a LVN is better its short term and Less information to study then RN

later on i will take LVN -RN course

since there is only one nursing school in my city and i fail the one and i still want to go to nursing school then only way i can do is applying other school out of my town

private school for LVN is good for fast start right after payment but payment is too much its about $30K

Is there anyone can advise to me or has good information ?

any good or cheaper nursing (LNV or RN)school or other medical major instead Nursing in california?

please help me.

I'm sorry to hear about your plight, it must be so utterly frustrating to be going through this. Have you searched other RN schools in the area? LVN schools that aren't private-for-profit? Even though you can't go back to the school you started at, this shouldn't be the end for you. If you have put in 3 years into pre-reqs, etc then I wouldn't give up. I hope you can get through this trying time and find a way to overcome what you're going through.:hug:

i am in an lpn program. we learn the same disease processes, med surg, and other information that is involved with the rn program.

the differences are many, but we have to learn about disease process, pharmacology, and other general nursing classes. we learn lpn scope of practice. we do not learn nursing diagnosis, but we learn how to "participate in assessment".

it is not 'easy' just because it is an lpn program. it is not more simplistic.

I am sorry to hear that you didn't make it through. May I ask what exactly went wrong? Was it theory or clinical? If it was theory, how far off were you (be honest)? were you close?

I want to ask another question that may be very relevant; is English your native language?
