Hello, Well I havnt officially failed the first block yet, but Im doomed to fail it again. This is my second time taking block 1 and I am going to fail it again. I can only miss 4 questions on the final which is next tues. If I havnt pulled it off with the other test, I dont believe I will pull it off with this one. Dont get me wrong I am studying extensivley, but it doesnt seem realistic that out of 50 questions for me to miss 4. Like I said this is my second time taking block 1, nursing process, and I just feel like Im an idiot. Maybe Im not smart enough for this. My teacher isnt helping me much with support either. She told me, cause I talked to her today, and she straight out told me, you need to look for a different career cause nursing is not for you . That really put things worst for me. I do want to go into nursing, and things got clarrified that I want to do this when I was in clinicals. Now Im kinda in a stuck situation here, and hoping someone out there can help me out. I am currently taking the nursing program in ****** in Arizona. I was reading the hand book that you are only allowed one re-entry, and once that happens, thats it your not able to go in, and that if you try for a second time, you have to go to the nursing board, see if they will let you in, and according to the teacher that said I need to change careers, is that there is nearly impossible for them to grant me readmission. So thats why I figured I have to look for another county, which Im hoping someone can help me out and let me know where I can go, which is a good school, thats not in ***** county. Im really stressed out right now, and the teacher diddnt make things better, plus that made me pretty mad cause she hasnt seen me in clinicals, I have a different clinical instructor, she dont know what I do in clinicals or dont, all in all we are there to help the patient out, and the patients are always happy with me a greatful that Im there. Can someone help me out, I am hoping that I can get in a new nursing program soon, cause if not, I dont know what Im going to do, go crazy I guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

thx will try everything that was suggested

thx for the advice everyone. The thing is that I was in the accelerated program last semester, I am in the regular program this, because I figure at a slower pace I would have a better chance, but I seem to be in the same place again. I only got like 4 weeks of school, so Im cuttying it really short.

Hello, I usually dont post alot here, but I am hoping one of my fellow peers can help me out. Last semester, I was in nursing program first block I was in the accelerated one, but I ended up failing my nursing process class, nur161. My teacher asked why I believed I failed, and I told her cause I probably had to much going on. Which I did, I had 18 credit hours, my girl just had a baby the week before finals, and I was just exahausted, and I failed, but its no excuse I should have pulled it off. Anyways that teacher ended up telling me after I told her that, she said I knew this was going to happen, I knew it since the first day. Im like great, but anyways, I was able to get back in the block one the following semester, which is now fall semester, and it was during the spring semester before. And I only needed to take the nursing process class and not everything all over again. Anyways, this sememster I seem to be failing again. Maybe Im not smart enough for this. I study alot I dont know what else Im supposed to do. I guess my problem would be that the questions, I narrow it down to 2 things, and then I pick the wrong one, then later after discussion with classmates and stuff, I realize the other answer made sense. Anyways, there are only 2 test left and there is 80 points possible, and I need 66 points to pass the class. Im afraid of failing again, cause it just makes me think maybe Im not good enough to be a nurse and I dont know what to do. I studied alot for the electrolytes test which was the last test but I failed that, now I dont know what to do to pass this class. I figured I need to get 26 out of 30 on this next test, and 40 out of 50 on the final, and I will pass the class. I am really going crazy just trying to figure out what I can do to pass. Can someone help me out Im really just very depressed about this, cause im just a failure. Our next test that is in a couple weeks is going to be on Geriatrics, Respiratory, Musculoskeletal, Grief and loss and SIDS and its going to be 30 ques. Now the thing is I dont remember what questions were on the test, but I do have the test grids from last semester, so hopefully this can help you guys help me. Test #4 Resp 10ques, Ortho 8ques. Geriatrics/Dementia 7 ques, Death and Dying 5ques "what is important to say". For the final there will be infection, (neutropenia, allegeies, immunity-pasive/active) 7ques, (AIDS)3ques, (Cancer)4ques, Ortho TKA, Gero, Acid/Base, Electroyltes, Grief/loss, N. Process, Respiratory, Back Brace, Obsessive compulsive rituals. Thats just general stuff that would be on the final. I know this is alot of stuff, but I appreciate whoever has read this, and would really appreciate any help that would help me pass the class, cause I really need to do really good. Thank you so much, I know I can count on my nursing peers to help. Thx

Ok, will check that out, thank you.

Well, I might look more into it when I get closer to getting my LPN cause that is something I would like to do. I get my LPN in May 2005 so that is in about 10 more months, but it doesnt hurt to find out if its possible now, right? Thx I appreciate the help. Now its just time to pass my 1st 2 blocks of Nursing. Hope I do ok

Thats what I was wondering, cause I wanted to work in a school, but wouldnt mind working under an RN. They should do the same deal here in Arizona right? And what else is required other then just your licensing, you know?

Hello, I live here in AZ, and I was thinking of being a school nurse after I get out of school. I know after I get my associates in nursing, I have to get my BSN to be a school nurse. I was wondering could you work here in AZ under a BSN school nurse as an LPN? Cause Im sure you cant work as a CNA, but I was thinking can you as an LPN. Im starting my first block in August, and wanted to see in may if I can get into doing that, and wanted to see if you guys knew if it was possible. Can anyone answer this question. thx
