You are an inspiration! I think that it will take me awhile to get through this difficult stage, but watching the nurses that I work alongside, makes me yearn to do the things that they do and be that comfort and protector that they are for their patients.

Your 'book' is much appreciated. I am grateful that you took your time in answering me thoughtfully. I suppose that I did not know how to proplerly how to study. That is where I have failed myself miserably. Yes, as a matter of fact, I did step back into the academic world from taking a long break! I feel that I should start with a slower paced CC, with 12 weeks rather than 8 weeks of instruction. Yes, I failed each class in the same semester and it was devastating. You're right, I will take this time and re-think my approach and my reasons for failing. I absolutely agree with you-I need a slower-paced environment. It was too fast paced for me. Especially since I had not been in college for a long time.

You're entirely right, but I wanted to find what you think. I did not seek out tutoring early; only when I had to repeat. No, looking back, I did not as I has a pregnant daughter living at home at the time who was in turmoil, and found myself distracted. I feel that I should look into an ADN program. Thank you for your input as I appreciate it.

Hi pre-nursing and nursing students, I am at a crossroads right now. I was in an accelerated BSN program and was dismissed. Long story short, I was dismissed due to 3 fails! (College math, Chem, Stats. Passed Math and Chem on 2nd try, but dismissed after Stats fail) I feel very defeated as I have been in healthcare for 15 years and finally got the courage after years of my RN friends telling me I would be a good nurse. I agreed and feel like nursing and people are my passion. I love my work (I'm a PCT in the ER) and so enjoy the hospital setting, enjoy working with a team, and have a natural camaraderie with nurses/pcts. My hearts desire is to be a nurse as I have so so much respect and admiration for the community. I feel like such a failure now and am scared to return. Should I hang up my dream? What would you do? Oh and I'm a very young/healthy 50 y/o female.

I just took the ATI Critical Thinking exam today and failed it! I am trying to get into the ADN program at Stanbridge Univ. I cannot believe it as I got an A in my Critical Thinking Class. I cannot retake it for another 90 days. Can anyone recommend any material that I can study so I can at least pass? The other portions I passed with 98%.
