Motivation/Inspiration

Published

I failed a nursing course in my 2nd semester by 2 points and I will retaking the course this upcoming fall semester. I was looking for some words of inspiration and motivation. I am planning on doing everything and sacrificing anything and everything to make it through. I know I can do it.

Failing doesn't make you any less of a person. I had nursing school friends who failed out by less than a point. our school doesn't round up so the minimum they set is what they expect. They were disheartened and I was sad I couldn't graduate with them as well (that's another thing about NS - you make great friends). And they had to wait the year and re-try, and they all succeeded the second time around. It's just a bump in a road, and in hindsight, what's a year? So I start 1 year before they do. Big deal. That's assuming I can even land a job...who knows, the market where I'm at might let up once they graduate next year and we both get hired at the same time despite my "lead".

Thank you for the kind words and inspiration.

You can do it! Put everything you've got. If you need to make flashcards, watch countless videos on the topic, draw diagrams in your room, and even listen to audio lectures of the material while going to sleep..DO IT. You can do it. You made it this far and you will

succeed with great effort and diligence. Nothing in this world that is worth it, comes easy. Give it your all and more and you will

reap the rewards of your effort.

I think "failed a nursing course" would be all the motivation you should need.

We just had 2 students join our cohort who failed last time by a point.

Don't quit if it's what you want. And don't do what you did last time.

Humble yourself enough to hear what your instructors are telling you. Be brave enough to accept the advice and work on it. (This coming from a girl with a neutral face that looks angry and the tendency to sound hostile when asking questions)
