Hello, I failed med surg last semester and I felt so embarrassed. However I feel much better now because I have a second chance at my dream of being a nurse. Have anybody every felt a SEMESTER just to come back and finish and graduate. I need some word of encouragement. Im really scared I don't want to failed nursing school. I know why I failed, however it's just the fact that I'm on my last attempt so I have no room to failed.

If so how was you able to get through nursing school. Any tips on passing med surg 2? And Pham?

In my cohort of 80 I believe about 71 graduated on time. Those who failed a semester all ended up graduating one year after the original class, best I can tell. You can do it!

I failed med-surg the first time and barely passed the second time due to mental health issues. I am now in psych and pharm III and am doing better than I have been. My advice is go to class, don't burn yourself out between work/school/personal life, seek help if necessary. Retaking med-surg was hard on my self esteem and confidence. Talking to one of my instructors and making sure I had a back up plan if I failed again also helped.

Each semester things the herd. Just the way it is. The largest number is with Nursing 1. Personally, Nursing 2 was my worst semester but I passed. Get through that and the rest will go well.

Best of luck to you.
