I don't know what to do.

I'm in my second semester of nursing school and just finished my second to last management of care 2 exam. Needless to say, I didn't do well on it as I needed to, to pass the damn class. I got a 74. My exam average needs to be at least a 75% and even by some miracle if I get a perfect score on the next final on Friday it puts me at an exam average of 74%. We're doing an exam review tomorrow and the professor already found one mistake which helped bump my original grade. Is it wishful thinking to see if I can get more points back tomorrow or it just naive of me cause I really don't want to leave the cohort that I am in now. This will be my second time failnig and after this I'm done. Kicked. I feel so embarrassed and stupid. I should've graduated Spring 2020, should've graduated fall 2021, and now its looking Spring 2022. Maybe this is a sign from the gods I should just drop out. I'm not smart for nursing school and I don't think I'll ever will be. 

What the hell do I tell my family....

    See what tomorrow brings but do look up the date for withdrawal for a course and if the school puts withdrawing P or withdrawing F. If you want to try for another health care field or nursing at another school you will want the highest GPA you can muster.

    It is December and the Fall semester will end in a few weeks. That window of opportunity to drop the class is long expired.

    Not at one of the colleges I taught at. The W date was 2 weeks before the final. This date varies by college.

    unfortunately, the withdraw date is long pass. I should've withdrew when I had the chance but I was optimistic and thought I could miraculously bring it up..... in hindsight, it was naïve. update, my last exam grade went to a 76..... still not enough to pass the course.... really questioning all my life choices now.... 

    thanks for your advice though.

    I am sorry. It is a loss but you would have had a shakey foundation with which to build on. It is a good time to look at your options, but only when you are ready. Something will appeal to you. Best wishes on your future.
