failed nursing school again

Published

i need advice from an experiencedn nurse. I am an LPN failed in Rn bridge program and kicked out last semster.I failed medusrg 1 sem and last semster of nursing .i was away from one nursing class to become graduate.Previous years, I went to bsn and failed nursing program thats when i went to lpn program and made it. Should i try nursing program again .I m scared as well i lost my money and time.I feel emotionally drained because i came this far to fail nursing.My family is telling me to quit nursing and major in bachelor degree .Should i attempt to do nursing program one more time or go for bachelor degree.when i was young, i cried when i kicked out of program right now i dont feel that eventhough i m despaired.I felt a defense mechanism of coping that i have failed before. The program i went to was horrible basically teach yourself i came this far because of my hardwork only.please need advice whether i should try rn or look something else.

Do not try again. Be happy as an LPN. It's a great job. It's not worth the emotional distress and money if there is a good chance you might not be successful. Not to sound mean, but I don't realistically see you being successful at a competitive program with your current writing skills.

Thanks again for kind advice .English is my second language . writing skills has nothing to do with nursing skills .There are people who doesn't know English at all being nurse ESpecially foreign born second language .Back of my heart ,I love nursing and I want to advance education . Thanks for your criticism .I m trying to improve my English language and skills .

Thanks atleast one person is understanding .we need kind nurses .

You're welcome. It may be helpful to purchase nclex review material like Hurst to help you understand material you make seem the instructor may haven't fully explained to u

ofcourse its harsh .I study more than 20 hours too and it's not about studying it's about teaching a material in class .i have gone over lot of books too for this class and I still have trouble getting the concept because it's not being enforced in class properly.

You are an LPN. That is a nurse too.

Yes exactly .You are right on .I tried my level best that s why I don't blame myself eventhough I m responsible for my own actions . I studied from saunders and lippincott and it helped a little .My school loves select all that apply and I get 10 per test that messed me up greatly .Right now my chance is over .I have to wait until a bridge program or Rn programs takes me and I m not rushing again to do it in near future .

I know . But I want to move up the ladder because of lpn being phased out and lpn are seen in nursing home .Moreover ,being RN can have more opportunities in nursing field .

Just do not be surprised if you do not get a third chance to try nursing school. When schools see that you have failed out not once, but twice, they are going to have qualms about accepting you. You need to be realistic. From your writing it seems like there may be a language barrier that is making it difficult for you to succeed in class, however, you said this was your last course before graduation but you weren't taught anything. How did you succeed in other courses with the same issues but not this one? You have to do some introspection before playing the blame game.

the problem is i m an LPN . I m just one class away from being RN. I tend to change my answers on test.MY first failure in BSN was first semster which i had no idea about nursing school. I feel so bad to make in end and fail RN last year. Now i have to start another major which will take years. I also dont want to jump any more nursing school either any more .I need some good teachers who can teach .My school never teacha single word no powerpoints are there .Nothing is there to save you. Basically worthless to come in school. I stay home and study especially this was a bridge program which is so fast. Mean time i work as lpn come back to nursing school may be next year after a re evaluation of thoughts about other major . i was so close.i m not going to quit. i will have to find the right school and right program may be next year or later. I would have quit nursing if i never made through lpn program and my family never understood this. Thanks again for advice . im work mean time and find out where did i go wrong and take some time to go back to good school.

Hey you wanted advice everyone tells you to give up and move on to another career but you finally decide your not giving up. Listen if you know what you want don't even bother quitting just brush the failures off and keep pushing I know easier said than done but U can do it. You're only one class away just get yourself together pray and be confident...the part when you said, " I tend to change your answers" tells me you get nervous and your not confident about your answers. When you take an exam before you go in there and you know your stuff don't doubt yourself you know your stuff you can't let yourself get in your own way ...take a break go to work wait couple months then get back at it...you can do it 👍

Hi Snowybee,

I would say take sometime and reevaluate what went wrong to cause you to fail the course... if its just one course can you appeal the program?

Are you trying to work and go to school at the same time?

How much time do you spend studying?

How many resources are you using to study?

Just some things to consider when and if you decide to continue.

never give up on what you want to do! if you have gone that far already, and it's only that one last thing that's holding you back, then that tells me you got skills! Something just happened there and caused you to fell out of the loop. So give yourself some times to cry and mope, then go back on the game again! you can do it! you've made it this far. you definitely can do it.

Yes. I can't go backbecause medsurg kicked my butt 2times.People in this forum are bashing my language ,nclex and how did I came this far to program. I have overcome because I tried my level best in program ,and put my best effort eventhough it went down the drain where they dont offer help. I have hands on skills as a nurse but I have problems in test taking and time management as well as getting that concept which is so advanced.
