I just failed out ! HELP !

Hey guys, well long story short I just failed out of LPN school for the second time by 0.1. Needless to say I'm upset :cry: but I'm trying to move on with my life and to see if theres any other options out there for me. I don't know what to do. I was 4 weeks out from graduation and I feel like I have all this knowledge for nothing. Is there any other jobs that you know of that pays well and that I could look into thats within the healthcare field. I just don't want to feel stuck in a retail job or end up becoming a stripper to be able to pay my bills (that last part was a lie) but I don't want to work in retail forever. I just don't know what to do and I'm becoming so depress over the situation. Seems like I can't transfer out to another school because they won't accept my F. My GPA is gone to .... and I'm just here lost :( Any advice would help or some words of encouragement would be great

    If this was not a state supported school, (like at the local community college), but a proprietary school, I simply would not list it on an application to another program.

    Too bad. That information is discoverable, so you have to deal with it. Unless, you decide to go to one of the proprietary schools. They are usually willing to take one's money with little hesitation.

    I just received an F on a test in Health Alterations - which means I will have to get a 92 on the final to pass the class. I am absolutely stunned and have been crying all day. I have passed all other classes required to test for LPN. Does anyone know if I can take Health Alterations as an online course? Or do I have to re-enroll into a nursing program?

    WHY did you fail for the second time, though? Ask yourself this question and dig deep to discover the exact reasons that lead you to fail. Before you think about applying somewhere else, make sure you know the answer to that.

    Have you talked to the Instructor to maybe see if there is some extra credit work you could do to raise that stinking 1/10 of a %?

    How about to the Dean?

    Anyone else you could talk to?

    It seems so petty and so ridiculous.

    True, there has to be a cutoff somewhere and you should try to figure out why you have now failed twice to see how to avoid this for a 3rd time if you do decide to go to school again. But it just seems like maybe the school would work with you to change this grade.

    As for what else you can do - have you thought about a community organizer or community health organizer? You have good background knowledge in health and you likely don't need a degree. Check at local low-income clinics, clinics that serve the homeless.

    Can you work at a Blood Bank? Assist a nurse in a parish? School? Be an aide in home health, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, hospital, or other setting? Are you a CNA? If not, you could likely easily become one.
