I'm not sure!

Im not sure if I can do it. Did anyone out there not pass their 1st semester of nursing school and go on to become a nurse? I didnt pass my 1st sem. missed it by 1point in nursing 105, 2points in pharm. Nursing school was the hardist thing ive ever been thru. But I loved working with the patients and learning the info, I just had so much other stuff on my mind(work,money,family) and was so out of my element. Just not sure I can do it now.:bugeyes:

I was placed on academic probation my entire first year of nursing school.

Passing grade was "B" or an 80% and I would consistently receive a 79.5% or 79%. I guess my instructors saw potential. Plus I approached my instructors for tutoring, extra work and spent A LOT of time in the library.

If this (nursing school) is something more than just a dream for you I would tell you to continue. Hopefully you have family that is understanding of your need to spend lots more time on study...Some of the "family-time" will have to be put aside. $$, well that is hard to push to the back of your mind and if you are working while attending school, that is reality. I worked part-time when I was attending school and my needs were few. Plus I didn't have a family-family to worry about (just my parents and siblings)

I wish I had some great advice for you. I don't.
