Failing 2nd Year

Published

Hi

I have recently failed an assignment twice and I have one more shot to get it right. I am feeling so stressed as I've never failed anything before in my life. And if i fail this again they are going to kcik me off the course. I cant cope with the stress. I love the practical side and excel at it, but writing assignments is not my forte.

Urghhhh

It doesn't matter if it is your "forte" or not. It is required to become a nurse..thus concerning yourself with whether it is your "forte" or not is pointless. If you want to be a nurse then you must successfully navigate the assignment.

Yes you will be kicked out of nursing school if you are unable to complete the requirements. They have standards and they must be met. If you "cant cope with the stress" then you will not be a nurse. Nurses don't just get to do what they "love"..they must also perform at a high level at all areas.

Have you analyzed what you did wrong? Instead of feeling bad about it and stressing develop a way to earn the required grade. Same if you have a patient and the treatments you are implementing are not working. You can't just quit and walk off. You THINK and you develop an alternative plan.

Good luck.

Does your assignment come with a breakdown of what they are grading you on-i.e. a rubric?

Does your school have a learning center? They would have resources to help you. My school has tutors that will help you organize your paper and proof read it for you.

Maybe if you tell us what kind of assignment we could offer more help? The only assignments I had to physically hand in were care plans, is that it? Cuz two instructors can greatly fluctuate on how tough, specific, etc. you have to get.
