So I failed 2nd semester by a fraction of a point. Needed a 76.5 to pass. I didn't post this on the student boards because I was hoping to get some feedback from RN's who have failed before.
I got c's on 4 tests and two low b's, then bombed the final because of anxiety/ran outta time...etc. I just can't believe that they are going to fail me for missing the mark by one question. I will lose my tuition reimbursment through work, my scholarships, wedding is going to be post-poned four more months.
I'm just freaking out that maybe this isn't for me. I really thought it was but maybe I just can't hack it. I dunno...what if I fail 3rd?!?! or 4th?!!? I can't go through this again. It hurts way to much. Has anyone out there failed a semester of school before and still made it to RN?

NS is nothing to compare to the bedside. Just because one cant rack their brain for some equation they will probably never use doesnt mean they will be an inept nurse. On the converse there are booksmart people with 5.0 GPA's and have the personality of a cement block and instill zero trust in their patients.
either way nursing school sucks. i dont care when u went now or then LOL
