Hey...I'm 22 years old, and almost done with nursing school...supposed to graduate in December. I'm excited, but at the same time I'm really scared because I have had difficulty with my last care plan. I was given the opportunity to revise it and I think I put in what was needed. Now it's out of my hands, and if it's still not what they want...I'm gonna fail. I hope that everything turns out ok. I've worked so hard and come so far...has it all been for nothing??? Just wanted to vent alittle bout how I was feeling...thanks

Hang in their... I doubt they would fail you just for that. You know your in nursing school when you cry at least once a month :) for something, and think about it, it usually turns out to be ok. Keep your chin up...

Why didn't put a post on the student forums and ask for some advice or opinions about your care plan? I review care plans for students all the time!

Let us know how things go.

Well just so you all know, my care plans were accepted. I've been so bummed lately, I found out yesterday and now I'm so relieved. Now I can focus on my finals and getting a job! YAY!!!!

Thanks for all the encouragement to those who replied :)

Congratulations! I know the feeling...I'm still waiting for one semester to go by where at least one instructor doesn't tell me I'm not going to make it. Wait, I take that back...instructors (both classroom and clinical), the financial aid office, and once, it was the dean of the nursing program.

The Dean was my favorite...and just so everybody doesn't think I'm a total idiot, let me explain...halfway through my 2nd semester, one of my clinical instructors found that a psychology course I'd taken about four years ago never showed up on my transcript. It didn't show that I'd failed, passed, incompleted it...it was just blank on my transcript. And this was a class that I needed before I could go on to 3rd semester. The Dean called me into her office and told me that it was my fault the grade was missing because, after all, the teacher has hundreds of students to keep track of and I'm the one that should be on top of my grades. I explained to her that after my grade came to me in the mail as blank, I had called the school several times to find out what was going on, and nobody ever got back to me. She still proceeded to tell me that it was my fault, blah blah blah. I never raise my voice - like NEVER - but I remember screaming at her, "Are you kidding me? So I pay you money to take a class, the TEACHER loses the grade for it and it's MY fault?!? Am I on t.v.? Is this, like one of those hidden camera shows? Seriously, you can tell me if it is."

Of course, now the Psychology teacher is retired. When I was told to track her down myself (at her HOME) to get this flippin grade, I also remember yelling at someone, "This woman could be DEAD, right? I mean, for all you know, she could be dead, right?" End of story (I know, finally, right?), she's not dead, thank God, she's doing research at some CP center about an hour away from where I live, I meet with her, she doesn't remember me from adam, but thought I was so cool that she decided to call my school personally and tell them I passed her class with a B. This instructor, whom I barely remembered, basically saved my nursing school career.

Guess I'm still a little bitter about this one...thanks for listening! :)
