Hi, I am a new nurse who just found out that I m pregnant .I m currently on orientation will be finishing next month .I am really worried .Should I tell my manager .I work in a covid unit .I really like this job and every one tells that I am doing a great job .I really feel comfortable in this job .I don’t want them to fire me for being pregnant . Please some one give any advice

Thank you for the advice. I will do as per you said. Go on with hospital for now.

Hi I am a new grad RN with Ltc experience as lpn for 5 years .I was offered a job in corrections with an orientation of 8 to 9 weeks ;at the same time I got another offer in hospital as a medsurg nurse .The med surg orientation is only 6 weeks.I feel this is scary.Which job Offer should I go with .I feel unprepared in hospital. 6 weeks is too short . The patient ratio is 1:8 in hospital . Help advice needed.

I know.I haven't tried. One has to apply in right school to get in nursing program.

Ok .I'm.

Yup.I'm not losing hope and I'm not planning to quit nursing school . I was so close towards the finish line especially last class. Thanks for the encouraging words. If I had given up in prior failures,I wouldn't be here. I have to change the way I study and get help when I need. Hopefully, I can come back and tell you good news with god's grace.

Absolutely right. That is why I returned to school. It is not 1:35 at my place 1:40 and 1:48.

Thanks.

Nope .I cant appeal .

Yes. I can't go backbecause medsurg kicked my butt 2times.People in this forum are bashing my language ,nclex and how did I came this far to program. I have overcome because I tried my level best in program ,and put my best effort eventhough it went down the drain where they dont offer help. I have hands on skills as a nurse but I have problems in test taking and time management as well as getting that concept which is so advanced.

I know . But I want to move up the ladder because of lpn being phased out and lpn are seen in nursing home .Moreover ,being RN can have more opportunities in nursing field .

Yes exactly .You are right on .I tried my level best that s why I don't blame myself eventhough I m responsible for my own actions . I studied from saunders and lippincott and it helped a little .My school loves select all that apply and I get 10 per test that messed me up greatly .Right now my chance is over .I have to wait until a bridge program or Rn programs takes me and I m not rushing again to do it in near future .

ofcourse its harsh .I study more than 20 hours too and it's not about studying it's about teaching a material in class .i have gone over lot of books too for this class and I still have trouble getting the concept because it's not being enforced in class properly.

Thanks atleast one person is understanding .we need kind nurses .

Thanks again for kind advice .English is my second language . writing skills has nothing to do with nursing skills .There are people who doesn't know English at all being nurse ESpecially foreign born second language .Back of my heart ,I love nursing and I want to advance education . Thanks for your criticism .I m trying to improve my English language and skills .

I mean one final destroyed me being RN Graduate .not one class.

thanks everyone for advice. yup thats right changing answers lol nursing school got me tired it makes me done anyway its not end of the road. In future ,i might if all goes well. I might try majoring in computers later.

the problem is i m an LPN . I m just one class away from being RN. I tend to change my answers on test.MY first failure in BSN was first semster which i had no idea about nursing school. I feel so bad to make in end and fail RN last year. Now i have to start another major which will take years. I also dont want to jump any more nursing school either any more .I need some good teachers who can teach .My school never teacha single word no powerpoints are there .Nothing is there to save you. Basically worthless to come in school. I stay home and study especially this was a bridge program which is so fast. Mean time i work as lpn come back to nursing school may be next year after a re evaluation of thoughts about other major . i was so close.i m not going to quit. i will have to find the right school and right program may be next year or later. I would have quit nursing if i never made through lpn program and my family never understood this. Thanks again for advice . im work mean time and find out where did i go wrong and take some time to go back to good school.

i need advice from an experiencedn nurse. I am an LPN failed in Rn bridge program and kicked out last semster.I failed medusrg 1 sem and last semster of nursing .i was away from one nursing class to become graduate.Previous years, I went to bsn and failed nursing program thats when i went to lpn program and made it. Should i try nursing program again .I m scared as well i lost my money and time.I feel emotionally drained because i came this far to fail nursing.My family is telling me to quit nursing and major in bachelor degree .Should i attempt to do nursing program one more time or go for bachelor degree.when i was young, i cried when i kicked out of program right now i dont feel that eventhough i m despaired.I felt a defense mechanism of coping that i have failed before. The program i went to was horrible basically teach yourself i came this far because of my hardwork only.please need advice whether i should try rn or look something else.

I had my first med surg exam today .I m repeating this class, but still I made mistakes on this test and I m worried about it. I studied my butts off and did lots of nclex questions. I feel terrible inside.i have fear of failure.I havent enjoyed my life literally over 8 years.As i m writing these, I was wondering some people get away in life and nursing school so easy,while some struggle no matter they study or work hard. I did make some mistakes on this test ,and I was thinking if I struggle like these for med surg ,imagine the future class. should i quit in future.I hve 3 more class to graduate and no chance to repeat.By the way,I m an LPN and I struggle at these tricky questions.Test are not my point and I m a hands on person.I m waiting for my score .Should I change my major as i feel nursing is not for me. I m very good at math.please reply.

To happy wife 77. Okk next time I will capitalize it .Sorry for the trouble.Ok thank you .

Yes i did. RN is morein detail and indepth.Alot than lpn school.It covers the same topics.I wouldnt say it is easier but being lpn helped me as the topics covered are not new .

hygiene queen : Thank you for your advice. Dark star, smf thank you.I know there are times when you know who support you and who put you down . My point is that they can 't make judgements about some one who would pass or who is going to fail.I have been through failures and succeeded, but i never had these kind of people telling me you cant make it. You are right it can happen to any one or even to them tommorow. No one intends to fail but this time it happened because lack of my self confidence. I m not a A student but if I study hard, I can pull it off.I take breaks while studying between 10 hours. Yes, I saw my teacher and she said to boost my self confidence, and believe myself that I can do great. I made lot of modifications and changes on my study habits. I pray to god to face these difficulties.I am a visual learner. I tried to watch you tube videos and concepts that I dont understand. I m trying hard as much as possible. I need to pass this class as well and 3 more class to be done with RN. The poem is so inspiring.

I m just venting my feelings. I failed my med surg 1 class . I stay at library for 10 hours and studying that class as hard as ever before. I just stayed away from facebook, all phonecalls from friends. I have friends who passed med surg 1 keeps calling, and texting me that they dont see me and whats going on with me. I dont even have the mindset to pick up call s or talk to anyone of my friends . They just laugh at people who repeat med surg class when I was taking with them. They act to be so smart. i got back up to my feet and studying. I rewrote all my notes.I m Spending hours of doing practice questions. I have a friend who called me on phone ,and said well if you cant make med surg 1 ,then you cant make it to the end of nursing school. My school is only 1 strike policy then you are out. Most people will fail out in middle. This is why I dont want to attend phone calls from these people. Has any one gone through this . How do you deal with failures and friends who dont support you.

little bear 23. wow. I had a similar expereince in BSN school . I failed fundamentals of nursing but repeated it ,and passed the fundamentals then again I failed the clinical part. In nursing school, I have hit the rock bottom . I went on to become an LPN. Nursing school is terrible but I love the job. I cant deal with nursing school but i love the job. As of now, I know my material but the problem is i kept on changing my right answers to wrong answers ,and i tend to second guess myself too much.this failure has affected me so much. Thank you I m praying to god to give me the strength to guide me through this difficult times. I will do what ever it takes to get through this class and in future.
