Minor setback

Published

I haven't been here in awhile due to school. This semester was supposed to be my last semester of prereq's....then enter in splitting from my husband and the fighting that comes with it plus moving out on my own and not having access to a computer at conveniant times.....lets just say my grades have dropped waaaaaaay down. Plus he was harassing me late at night when I should have been studying.

Only required class I had this semester was A&P II. The rest of the classes were just classes I was taking for "fun". I am going to have to retake anatomy because there's no way I can pull my grade up in the short amount of time that's left. I am going to go talk to my instructor tonight about it, if nothing else to let him know that I DO care (he's big on that) and that I am going to retake the class with him in the fall.

Even if I could save my grade this semester, I just feel like I should retake it anyway since I need to know this stuff.

I'm upset about it but what can I do? I am not going to give up. I just had this timeline of goals and I broke this one. And honestly, this is mild compared to the list of things that could go wrong so I need to remember that. I was going to take the evening/weekend program but now I think I will put in for the day program since it's possible I could get in quicker. Eve/Wkend RN classes only start once a year and that's in the fall.

Anyway, that's about the gist of it. I can't wait until things settle down more so I can focus on school again. I am going to use the summer to study the material a little more so when fall starts, I have a good grasp of what's going on and hopefully make it easier for me.

Wow, kudos to you for your determination and optimism! I believe that will get you far and it sounds like you already know you will get through this bump in the road, so I don't have to tell you that. I'm sorry for your separation from your husband, but in the end it's for the best, right? Good luck to you this coming semester!

Chin up! We are all going to make it... I have just appealed for my financial aid to be reinstated, and to start my pre reqs allllllllllllllllllllllllll over again. I went through a nasty separation and divorce 03-05...and I have put school on hold for so many years...I started last Fall, and was doing so well... but my oldest sister passed away in the middle of the semester... after a 14mth coma. I was completely devastated. I still have my moments but I realize that I must pick myself back up...and get back on the wagon. I am going to become the care taker that she deserved after suffering for so long at the hands of those who harmed her.

All I can say is Good Luck, and may you reach every goal you set for yourself.

Be blessed.

I am looking for accelerated minimester classes now for the summer to knock a few courses out of the way. I am way behind now, but I know that I will follow through to the end and make her proud.

I am sorry things have been so challenging. Hang in there. Not sure if it is too late to drop or if you can get any kind of academic leave or incomplete. Definitely talk to you instructor and/or counselor. Difficulties can come up and sometimes there is a way around them, or at least an easier way through them. Talk to "those in the know" to determine the best course of action. It sounds like you have a good plan. I have had so many serious, tenuous life issues come up this last 18 months I have thought a hundred times that I would need to take a semester off. Somehow I have managed.

In any case, you take care. Be kind to yourself and hang in there!

I am sorry about the loss of your sister, Redrubyslippers. It is good to hear that you have put your loss and your desire to provide tender care for those suffering to good use. You will be an awesome nurse.
