londonflo, That’s great information I will pass this on. I’m shooting for Mastery from this point forward. As, I mentioned previously. I’m using this opportunity as a restart, but knowing what to except. Thank you for responding!!

Hannahbanana, Thank you for pointing out my English faux pas’s! Yes, English is my first language and I totally understand the need for accuracy. With urgency and excitement and raw feelings coming across virtually. I just didn’t take the extra step with this forum, but I will in the future. Thank you again!!

203bravo, Thank you so much for responding to my comment. Your absolutely correct. I have read many post that people have left stating that they where kicked out of the program for failing and would have to wait an entire year to reapply. So, I’m not going to dwell on my failure and consider this a second chance. This second chance will provide me the opportunity to become a even more knowledgeable student, because that is so important. It isn’t about me failing it about me having all of the tools I need to take care of my patients. This is a very serious and rewarding career. I will literally be responsible for people’s lives so I do understand the need for reaching for mastery on all concepts. I expressed to my clinical professor how my competitive side tends to get in the way of my progress. To clarify what I’m saying. Knowing that another cohort received an A on a exam versus me getting a C+. My professor says “ At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if some graduated with honors or if another student just barely made it.” “You all will be RNs.” “Your patient isn’t going to know the difference.” “Your patient will just expect you to know what your doing and will you be able to take care of them.” That advice really put things into perspective. Not to get caught up in the competitiveness. Just try to do your best because at the end of the day we will all be at the same level, we will all have the same title of RN. As I said before writing about it is very therapeutic for me. I know I will not give up and I know I will continue to work hard. I just have to get out of this funk and believe in myself.

Hello Everyone, First I would like to say, I know that this topic has been discussed on many threads. I totally understand why. So many people who want to become a RN fight so hard to become accepted into the program and once the are accepted into the program, you expect it to be like A&P or BIO or Micro, but you soon realize that it is like nothing else that you’ve experienced. Another reason why there are so many threads about failing nursing school or being kicked out of the program is the therapeutic side of talking about it. Getting those terrible feeling of failure out. Hoping that someone will comment on your thread who has felt the pain of not passing the first semester. Fortunately I have the opportunity of retaking the semester over the Summer and it will keep me on track for graduation in 12/2022. So, one of the main driving forces to passing the exams is confidence. You have to believe in yourself!! But, how are you able to continue to believe in yourself if you didn’t pass 1st semester?? Maybe I just need sometime. I know one thing for sure I’m not giving up. Even though I feel like a total and complete failure.
