I"m a Filipina in the US, in Oklahoma. I have my LPN and am trying to get my RN. I just failed my anatomy lab. We have an actual cadaver and I got test anxiety and brain fog. Now I can't retake this class until next fall and I also can't take my Microbiology or Physiology without the anatomy having been passed. I quit my Army LPN job because they would not give me time off to take this lab . I should have quit it sooner, cause my work put me behind at school. I don't know what to do now. If I take another nursing job and just wait on the college class, and then quit that job to go back to school next year, does that look bad to future employers. I'm at a school that's a subordinate to O/U school of nursing. Is this a problem for me with them, too? I'm so shaken that I don't know what to do. Please help me! Thanks.

You're in a tough spot and I empathize with you. If you go lucking for another job see if they support students with flexable scheduling and or tuition reimbursment. Alot of these programs and incentives will dry up if the Government succeeds in canceling student debt but it's worth a look!.
