Congrats! I've heard nothing but greats about Samford.

try taking graduate course as a non nursing student at the school you want to go to. It can boost your gpa up but also, if you get in, you get a head start.

I was finally accepted to Samford and GWU. I chose GWU since they were the first to reply to me.

You guys have good GPA. I'm wondering if anyone got accepted with a 3.0 gpa? I dont have exactly good grades. 1. I've applied to UTMB, TTUHSC, U of South Alabama, Samford, George Washington University, University of Colorado-Colorado Spring. 2. I've look into all the schools I applied to and would love to get into any of them. 3. My specialty is FNP. 4. My gpa is underwelming unfortunately. My overall is 3.2, nursing is 3.1 5. I applied for fall 2014. 6. Online program. I have 3 years exp as an ER nurse,which is where I want to work if I become a nurse practitioner. I have not gotten any reply yet. I will pray.

Hello friends. I would like to know your opinions. From observation, I have seen that stresses and depression in the health workplace comes more from coworker and manager than from patients. (People will have differing view). I noticed that rumor and talking behind peoples back, as well as the feeling of what's fair and unfair are very unproductive. These kinds of things can hurt the esteem and confidence of the people around us. So, I'm wondering. Do you feel stresses comes more from dealing with patients or dealing with your coworker?

That is correct. I'm much better emotionally. I'm very excited come January :)

Thank you ukstudent. I never realized how much I miss nursing school. I just can't wait to get back. The person who was an advisor that helps me with my new school happens to work for the same manager that I'm working for at my hospital. It was just a coincidence. I feel blessed. I'm very happy with the way things are.

HI there :) I have seen my coworkers cried because some patients and their families think of us as maids. I think being calm can help a lot. Understand that there's a limit to what you can do because you also have other patient to take care of. I dont have a lot of exp as a CNA because I've only work since July. But, whenever I have difficult patient, I just told them "You can get your message across without being angry, I'm here to assist you." And, if they say hateful remarks or demeaning remarks, that's okay, because I'm there to do my job, not argue with them. Usually, in case like this, you will have other CNA and nurses who will support you. Try and talk to your coworker. Support is a great system in the health profession or any job.

Hi. I've reread the thread and noticed your post. I failed 2 courses, not 3. Thank you for your words, but I'm meant to be a nurse and I'll be back in the nursing program again this January. No, I have not considered another career path and I don't want to. Tam.

Thank you for everyone's response. It's been more than 5 months since I failed. I was able to cope because of this website, through each of your encouragement and understanding. I realized how difficult it can be, knowing that You and me can be considered failure. WE failed, so we were failure in Nursing School. But, that's in the past. It hurts because I've never failed anything before, let alone 2 courses in the same semester. I had a chance to reflect upon myself these past few months. There simply was too much distraction during my time in nursing school due to personal reasons. People are going to look at you differently because you failed. But, there are those who also can give you support. This sites gave me a lot of support through difficult time. I think failing gave me more humility than anything. It really humbled me. I went to work at a hospital afterward and meet some very nice people. I've been working as a CNA since July, and it has been such a wonderful experience. I can't tell you how different your life would be if you were a CNA first, then a nurse later rather than just a Nurse. I just want to tell you that if you feel you can still be a nurse, then don't give up. Because, in January, I will be going for my ADN to be an RN. Things delayed me for one year and I will not get my BSN until I have my RN license, but that is okay. Don't give up, because what happened to you is in the past. Be humble about the experience. Look forward to your next opportunity to be a nurse. I also just want to tell you that each person that I've talked to, (before, during, and after nursing school) they told me how good of a nurse I'm going to become. You know what I told them? I've got to be a nurse first before I can be a good nurse. Like what I was taught the first semester of nursing school, grieving is a long process, it takes time to heal.

Thank you...For the past weeks, I felt like it was the end...I had no one to talk to or cope with. That's why I look over the internet to find resources. I struggled in nursing school because I wasn't focused, because I had pressure, and because of the problem financially with my family. I'm only 23 years old. I felt extremely alone when I found out I failed.

I'm considered a junior. It is my second semester of nursing school. I just have too much pressure right now. My parents are getting old. They were waiting for me to graduate from nursing school so they can retired. I'm the only one in collge and now...I'm flunking out of nursing school. God...I'm just a failure right now...I'm honestly trying as best as I can to cope with this.

Thank you so much my friends. It hurts so bad...When I found out I failed Acute and Chronic, I could not do anything for a week...and I failed Family Focus as a result. I'm just so stressed in every direction. I've never made a D in my whole life, let alone an F. The test was so different from what I've taken my whole life. I'm struggline with studying. I'm trying as much as I can to cope with this. I just want another chance at nursing school.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I feel so hurt for a while...and I thought I would go around searching for resources about nursing. I just want to know if you fail a nursing school, will other school accept you or reject you based on your failure from the previous school? I failed Acute and Chronic I and I'm about to fail family focus. I'm a male student. I'm just really hurt right now and I honestly dont know what to do. I spent my 2+ years for my prereq and now I'm about to fail out. The school where I'm from wont readmit me because I failed 2 courses. I can't think of being anything other than a nurses. Help me out please. I'm trying to grieve this all by myself. I haven't told my family or friends because I feared what will happen.
