failed again

[mgaona91]

So turns out I failed med surg for the second time both times by 1 point!! It sucks and i feel my spirit is broken. I don't wanna give up on nursing because it's all I wanted to do since I graduated high school. I'm 24 now and the program in my city has a 2 fail same class and you sit out for 2 years and try again all over... so I'm stuck two years??? I'm thinking if it's a good idea to go to a technical school that offers lvn license in 1 yr after that I work get some experience and try again doing the lvn to rn bridge program or I'm missing like 6 prerequisite classes and i can do my bachelor's at the University we have in our town?? What is the best route.. will the university even consider taking me when I already failed in nursing at a community college. I know I'm smart maybe nursing ain't what I thought it would be but I feel it in my heart that this is what I want.*

It sounds as if you have options so all is not lost at this point. I would check into the BSN program, but don't be surprised if they will not accept you with the two fails. I think you should maximize your efforts by both enrolling in the LVN program for a shot at LVN to RN bridge, as well as taking the remaining BSN prerequisites so that you are ready when the time presents itself. Keeping yourself busy with both of these endeavors will make the two years go by even faster and then things will look a lot different. Good luck.

And one other thought: I would do every med-surg question and study provided rationales that I could get my hands on, on a daily basis from now until the time comes that you have succeeded in putting med-surg behind you!!
