Failed out of nursing school

You have to keep trying for yourself. I almost failed out of my LPN program many times, and now in my RN program I'm barely hanging on. But there's something amazing about people who persevere through the tough times. Give yourself credit, cry it off, and KEEP. GOING. You will have support everywhere you turn on the internet. I recommend Nurse Angie's facebook group for nursing. They're some of the most supportive people I've known. Reach out for help when you need it. Make yourself proud! I know it's in you to do this! You got into nursing school--now kill it the next time it starts! ?

Thank you for your kind words. I just can't believe that I failed by 0.1 point. I'm just afraid that I will fail again and be stuck as CNA for the rest of my life. I have to wait a whole year before I can apply again. But Fall 2020 is also around the corner.

Have you looked into other schools?

Another thing is to consider becoming an LPN first before becoming an RN. That's my path, and it's honestly amazing. I'm making a LOT of money, gaining experience as a nurse and loving my job and patients! LPN programs tend to be shorter too, mine was only 10 months long. I wouldn't say the content is "easier", because often the programs are accelerated like mine was. But it's a great launching point for your future career.

If you ever need someone to talk to about this or anything else, I'm here. ?

I'm sorry. I didn't mention that I was in the LPN program. I need something short term until I can get into RN school. CNA pay is not enough to support me through a BSN program. My job at the hospital requires the RNs to have the BSN.

Thanks for reaching out to me. ?

I edited the post to say I was in LPN school. Sorry for the confusion!

Then we shall go back to my original comment (LOL). Never give up! You only fail if you don't try! ?

You have your syllabus, textbooks, notes, and any other materials right? Take all of this and put yourself through the material while you wait to re-enter. Make your time off count. Know it inside out so when you return you can progress. Take some time to evaluate and improve your study skills. Get your healthy lifestyle down pat too. Do everything you can to make yourself ready for the challenge. Good luck.

Yes I do...I hope that I can do better at critical thinking especially on those exams. That's a big struggle for me because the information they gave us was not on the exam at all!?

Oh I'm right there with you about being scared of failing out or not even being chosen for that matter. But the way I see it if you don't go back you'll have no chance at becoming a nurse. At least if you try you'd be giving yourself a fighting chance.

Colonel Sanders was 62 when he hit it big. The founder of JcPenny lost nearly everything in a stock market crash, but still came out on top in the end.

Don’t let a setback stop you from your future.

I had to go through something similar to this. I withdrew from LPN med surge due to failing my exams and the second time around I barely passed. I would see if you can gather some material for the class and just study it over break or something. Nursing school is hard for all of us and you just need to adapt to the rigor of the program.
