hi guys. i am sad to say that i have failed out of my nursing BSN program. I studied sooo hard for my finals and been trying so hard to keep afloat, but in the end, i failed my pharm with a score that is barely 1 percent from passing. I had previously failed another class last year, due to a family medical emergency. so, i am so heartbroken right now. i feel like i am so lost right now, and feel like ive had the rugged pulled from under me and i am just in a daze right now. i was finally diagnosed with ADD just two or three weeks ago and can't start my medications until liver enzymes and stuff come in and back. i decided it was best to wait to do all that, since i had finals coming up. boy was i wrong.

i ask that you guys pray for me, and help me through this. i know in my heart that this is what i want, and am so lost right now and heart broken....

My heart is breaking for you. I am taking pharm too and I know how tough it is especially to be so close. If this is your dream you may consider looking at becoming a nurse another way. (Another school or maybe getting an ADN first?) I know you probably don't want to even think about other options right now, but please keep them in the back of your mind. Just give yourself some time, nursing school is rough and you are not alone.

Oh I feel so bad for you, I am pretty close to the make it or break it point myself, but keep you chin up and look at your options, go another route, you can find another way to be a nurse if that is your dream

I will be thinking of you and praying for you

Dont lose hope. You can do it and you will. Things may take longer than expected. Can you get back in the program? If all else fails you could always do LPN and move up from there. A piece at a time may be easier. Good luck and never give up this is just another hurdle to go over. This will pass and before you know it youll be back in your nursing class knowing more than before. Good luck.

you've had a lot to deal with,

so allow yourself some time to let things get sorted out,

and you'll find your way again

I'm hoping for you!

Take care of yourself.

I am so sorry to hear of this news....I am sure you did everything possible to make it...I am in my first semster at SDSU School of Nursing and I find it to be the hardest thing I have ever attempted in my life. I study hard and do the best I can...if I was to fail...I would know that my destiny is a different path...beleiving in God and Jesus...knowing my reasons for doing nursing are to take care of people and do good noble deeds for the rest of my life...you see...I gave up a selfish life style where I had an easy job that paid well...I gave up custody of my son....I gave up my condo...all for a shot at Nursing school....I literally gave up everything to get into Nursing school...and if I was to fail I would be devistated as well...but quickly reassured that my path is not the one I had planned....maybe I am destined to take a different path to nursing...thereby reinforcing my nursing skills to become a better nurse than I would of been passing through the school the first time...or maybe my future lies in microbiology and research as I find other areas of study that are more meaningful to me...or just maybe...I am destined to save someones life in the future and this speed bump in my life now is going to make me stronger and more able to do that great accomplishment....

We try so hard to plan everything...control everything..it is in our nature to do so....when the reality is that we should be in peace doing the best we can knowing that God is guiding our true destiny with his plan for us...

I hope this helps as it has brought peace to me while I am in school...:saint:

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel your pain. I failed out of nursing school (BSN program) in 2003 and have been struggling with the decision to go back myself. A lot happened in my life since then. I was diagnosied with an illness, I had one death in the family after another, then I had a child. Through it all... I've never given up my dream of becoming a nurse. I've decised to go try another route and enter a LPN program. I have applied but admission is done on a lottery system. I am praying that I can gain admission. Again, I feel your pain. I didn't even make it to pharm--- so you got further then me. I didn't pass my final in Nursing Modes 1 and got the boot... I needed a 75% on the final and got a 70%.

I will keep you in my prayers. Take care of yourself and don't loose faith.

I'm sorry that happened to you. NS is tough. Relax, recoupe then decide what to do. You might be able to finish through www.excelsior.edu ???

I have a girlfriend who did just that. It depends on how much of your program you completed but it would be a doable alternative for you if you qualify. Maybe call excelsior and ask. I haven't been to their website but I'm sure there's a phone number there.
