Keep up the good work, I will be in the same situation in a month :) Congrats!!

I'm over my crying depressed hump didn't take too long :) if I want it I will not give up so I will be back next Jan hopefully acing what I didn't get a chance to this semester...I have something to prove to myself n my teacher. Thanks again

Thanks I think Imma go talk to her n see what happens. Feels like a dream can't shake this feeling smh. I don't want sympathy but I want/need/hope for the 1 point because I never gave up n I did my very best to pull myself out the whole. I would have rather failed with like 9,points away then one. I'm just gonna hope for the best hopefully I can go to the summer sessions n then it will be just 5 months....thanks for listening

So I got my grade yesterday for med surg passing is an 80 my teacher gave me a 79. I am completely and utterly devastated. Some say I should talk to her others say if she felt I deserved it i would be passing. Asked if I could talk to her she said I could but don't know if I will be wasting my breath. She rounds up from .4 so if she gives me a 79.4 she can round to an 80 in my own fairy tale world :) My mid term grade I wasn't doing too hot she asked if I was gonna drop I decided not to n turned my grade around can I get a .4 for making a effort n giving it all I had(literally) if she only knew. Feel terrible that I have to sit out 9 months re do the agony of med surg for 1 point. Do yall think its worth talking about...just feeling lost any advice will be greatly appreciated....Thanks guys

congratulations!!!!!

I say if you want to be a nurse go for it....I'm 27 2 kids and a husband and its not easy never been but like you said you want to be successful just as much as you want to breathe I can 100% relate because thats how I feel. I'm doing the LPN program now like someone stated so that I can work while pursuing my RN degree. And maybe that can lessen your issues with the CNA job. I think your doing great so far and what I have learned is that the only person stands in the way of your dreams is you I wish you the best and good luck

I think I got 9 from the point system

I passed guys whoooo hooo she just told the people that were border line(that would be me) b/c the 2nd 8 weeks of fundamentals starts tomorrow and we have clinicals. The funny part is this is just the 1st 8 weeks we have 9 more months to go but I look forward to it and I'm happy I have this oportunity, maybe now I can sleep :). Thanks guys for the well wishes

I got an 82 80 is passing. I wanted an 88 but am grateful that I passed. I have to get a 92 or better on my skills final to stay that's on tuesday. I am just kicking myself, I tell u this is the most awful feeling ever knowing that I was the reason I failed smh but I'm not gonna give up I'm proud of my uniform n my badge that says pn student :) so I'm gonna give it all I have because I really wanna stay. Thanks for caring

I just posted something about failing b/c I was too overwhelmed b/c of this and that...if u want it make yourself study dont be like me glued to the computer waiting for my teacher to post the final exam grade because I am a half a point between failing and passing. Trust me it is the most awful feeling ever :) You seem like u have a pretty good study habit I say keep it up with that good luck

Ok so my teacher told me I needed to get good grades on the next 2 exams....I studied and failed SMH. I am possible failing out of nursing school its only the 1st 8 weeks . I tried well enough I should have been doing my best though, I dont want to make excuses but I guess I'm posting just to future students to give it your best shot...I have 2 children work part time but you have to learn to prioritize b/c the workload is overwhelming to some(that would be me :) ) sad thing is we had the test on Tuesday(that I failed, 74 passing 80) and the final is today(thursday) I dont want to give up but I can't help to feel defeated. I have officially second guessed and half assed my way of of something that I love and to have to return to my dead end job is oh joy

Thanks...I guess I just have to go with my gut :)

I guess I dont really have anyone that understands nor has gone thru this but you guys so here it goes. I keep second guessing my self took a quiz and a test so far 75 math quiz and 84 test 80 is passing on both I could have gotten an A or high B on both test I had like 3 on the quiz and maybe 4 on the test that I knew the answer and straight changed it me and my eraser are best friends :) I'm overwhelmed b/c of usually life stuff and then to see what grade I could have had its just all discouraging. I dont know what to say or what advice to ask for I guess I have worked so hard to get to the LPN program I am siking my self out. It would be easier to get things wrong because I didnt know the answer(just my opinion) but to get it wrong b/c u changed the answer is even more crushing to my self esteem, I feel like I have a lot riding on this. Ok Vent over :)

My mom was like 37 when she graduated and became an LPN....30 is not too old as a matter of fact I dont think it is ever to late to do something u have a passion for. And for the nay sayers forget about them. There are people that think they know me and think I wont be able to handle this and that but I say thanks for your opinion and keep it moving. Not many can go to school and have all things paid for this is a perfect opportunity I say go for it and see if u like it :)

Great story and a lesson i will take with me to nursing school, great inspiration. Congratulations

I guess u wouldnt have posted this if u didn't want a response. I appreciate your comment and trying to prepare us newbies for the lack of a job that will be waiting for us after I graduate. But like others have stated not just on this post but others womp womp the economy all together is bad people losing jobs left and right from ALL areas. When there is god forbid a natural disaster u think they will be thinking experienced vs newbies...no they will be thinking I am licensed to help. I think that its horrible to discourage those that have a passion for the medical field, where should we go if not nursing since there are SO MANY other jobs else where. Lifes a gamble and I will take that risk :)

sorry dont start nursing school til 8/23....why do u need to buy lecture notes is it like if u didnt get the notes they charge u for what u missed?

congratulations !!!! Thanks for the inspiration

congratulations !!!!! I been seeing a lot about this Hesi text has me a little worried but im trying to prepare ahead of time start school in August.

Congratulations Everyone yay us !!!! My name is Charlene Best I go to J. sargeant Reynolds CC in richmond, VA. We start August and should be finished next august 2011 Good luck everybody :)

I would take some of the classes that u got a C in and try to raise the grade, I dont know if they will just accept u the RN programs are always competitive. I was denied RN 2x by one point on my gpa, now I'm taking LPN and will go back to RN its a step back but still in the right direction :) Dont get discouraged just keep trying if thats what u really want

I'm nervous too but excited. I'm sure the excitement will be gone when I have to read those 5-10 chapters in a short amount of time. I'm just trying to take the advice that some of the nice people on this site have given me and just try to always think why I'm doing this :) Going to the Thursday orientation.

Finally I was like I know its more than just me lol Congratulations !!!! I'm just trying to make friends b/c I feel we all gonna need each other b/c we all have that common goal

Just wanted to say Hi to fellow classmates, not normally a social butterfly but I guess now is the best time to be more social.

Thanks guys so much for the advice, I really do appreciate it :)
