Nursing school...second times a charm?

Published

So I was in an LPN program at a local vocational school and....I failed but they are re-admitting me for September 2012. Has anyone else been in this situation? Is it possible to pass nursing school my second time around?

Yes! Although I never failed LPN school. However, I have had friends to repeat and success was the outcome

You can do it!!!:)

Believe it or not, LOTS of people fail out of nursing school. You can either pick a different career, or continue on with nursing! Once you're all done you won't even have to tell anyone that you failed once, and your patients will never know!

A lot of my classmates were previously dismissed from a nursing program. Most of them finished the second time around, except for two of them. Good luck :)

You'll be fine! Second time around, you'll be more prepare and be even more determined. I am not in this situation, but I'm sure it'll be better this time around.

What school are you attending? I saw your from NJ, so am I and I will be starting a vocational school in September

Yes, it is very possible to pass the second time around. We just had about 15 new students added to our program during the last quarter that failed last year. Almost all of them are graduating with us this week. Good luck~
