Help! I failed one of my nursing classes this past semester

Published

Hi, if anyone can help me at all would be greatly appreciated. I got into the nursing process this past fall semester but failed one of my classes. I am able to retake it though. I won't be able to retake it til next fall. Any suggestions on how I can pass it now? I work at least 32 hours a week and I am also a CNA. Should I lessen my work hours? Should I find study buddies? It was kind of hard to get study buddies while I was working. I need help!!! Thanks!!

If you can I would cut back on your hours but I understand that isn't possible for everyone. Definitely get study buddies, go to a tutor on campus if they have the resources, look into online sites for assistance and if you see yourself on the verge of struggling this next go round talk to your professor ASAP. They may have some tips/ strategies to help you improve. Good Luck!

You need study partners. I didn't have any my last semester of school and failed because of it. I repeated, took the initiative to study with people...that were focused. I also studied some while waiting. I passed the next year. Not every study group will work for you... Find a group that fits. Good luck

Thanks everyone! I know I need to cut back on work. My main problem with cutting back is the health insurance that comes with my job.
