LPN who failed RN math

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

By two points, after over $3000.00 in fees and books, etc. Now I'm not sure what to do. Where do I go from here? Has anyone here have a similar situation now or previously? What did you do? I'm just so down and confused from here. I'm just lost and broken hearted at this point.

LPN school was stressful but I still enjoyed it. I felt though that it gave me false hope. I LOVED clinicals of viewing and assisting in different settings. However when it came time for me to get a job all I could find was nursing home. There I was just to give meds....not what I went to school for. I lost about half my skills. I feel like I learned a lot of skills to do more than become a pill pusher. I also feel that sometimes LPN's get looked down upon my RN's. I Loved school, but LPN career is not what I thought it would be. Its why I was attempting and putting forth a full effort to become an RN to advance, stop being the underdog, and help patients more. Math was basic medical math, thats what my RN math supposed to be as well. Like determining how many pills per order, IV drip calculations, and Injections.
