Failed LPN Program

[GuidingAce]

So I got accepted into the LPN program in NYC at a CUNY school but ended failing it. My passion is still to become a nurse. Can I apply into the RN program or are all doors closed because I failed the LPN program? Please help..

BitterSeaisMe, Mzrainydayz is right. The way I studied in A&P was very different than the way I should have studied for nursing... In my A&P class, I didn't need to read the textbook for my exams... The material was given in powerpoints and all you needed to do was review them and you were good... In my nursing classes the powerpoints they give u are NOT useful at all. I really think going to lecture and have the professors read it to us was a waste of my time since they wouldn't emphasize main points....What one needs to do is read all chapters assigned and remember everything... For instance, in the neuro context (3 long chapters), out of about 20-25 questions one quest would be the function of a cranial nerve... that means you really have to know everything!!!!... I never bought any supplemental books which I think could have been useful but not extremely sure... Reading everything and understanding it in a short period of time is necessary to succeed... I just hope I do better the second time around :-/

thanks a bunch for your replies. that's helpful to understand what is required to succeed, ie- thorough knowledge of material, finding the right way to study. You guys now have the advantage of knowing yourselves and what kind of study stratagies to use. I think for me, the toughest thing is going to be just biting the bullet and dedicating my time to studying, and not allowing my brain to become lazy/ procrastinate. ! The best of luck to both of you, and keep your eyes on the prize!
