So, I failed out of nursing school at the community college after 1 year, by 1 point (79) I'm not at a university but not taking any nursing classes. I feel like i've been demoted, and my transcripts say i'm a sophomore. But I've been in college sin...

So I failed out of nursing school at my community college. I failed with a 79, and had to have an 80 to pass. Then I got into the University here in town, my step dad works there and I get a free ride, besides buying books and supplies and such. So...

nmsxx6454: Well I didn't really get a job. They told me if i didn't have my cna I couldn't work. and now my friend isn't speaking to me :/ But at least i did turn 21 so I have something to do while sitting at home all day. haha.

So right now I have a 75 average. You have to make an 80 to pass, of course. We only have 1 test left and a final. Should I even try? I feel so defeated. Like I should give up. What should I do? And why? And how?

Lucky! I only have 2 days between my last test and my final. Yikes!

Thanks everyone! The last day to drop is Friday, but there is no benefit. I would still technically fail. Today was a day that I couldn't really study much but I still got in 2 1/2 hours. I had a girl from class come over and help me. I'm reading and...

Every test I feel pretty confident. During the test I feel like i'm doing good. And then.. After the test everyone talks about it and says that the right answer was "B" and then I doubt every answer I put? I'm sure I atleast passed, but I HATE when...

HIGHLIGHTERS!!! I also have those tabs you can peel off to bookmark a page. Kind of like the ones in the link. Amazon.com: Post-it Page Markers, 1/2-inch x 1-3/4 Inches, Assorted Bright Colors, 250 per Pack (670-5AF): Office Products In my school yo...

Would it be helpful to get a military time watch? I know you have to use military time so nobody gets confused with am/pm. But would a watch come in handy?

I took Anatomy+lab, Chemistry+lab, Religion, an online course and worked... and only made a C in chemistry because I thought I didn't need to study for it (i did have the time though). I made an A in everything else.

I have to remind myself WHY I'm doing this. Some days I have weighed the option of quitting because everything seems too hard. But in the end, this is what I want and I have to do whatever it takes to get there. I was hoping to find a good website...

It has been a month since I started the program and have not gained (or lost) any weight thus far. I eat home cooked meals, nothing from vending machines, and as of right now I am a little too busy for a workout routine. I do get to school early and...

So in clinical's we have to write nursing notes, which I don't mind at all. But I have no idea what I'm doing!! It seems like my instructor crosses out everything I write (even when I do the same sort of format as the example we got in class) and I'...

So i'm trying to do a RN to BSN program right after I graduate my ADN program. I have 5 semesters (including summer) of nursing classes. Summer Is full with nursing 5 and Microbiology-4. But the other semesters I have 10 credit hours with nursing and...

I keep my private life private as well. For the same reason. Financial aid, no bills, no kids and my living situation (family) People don't usually like to hear that and I don't wanna make enemies because of our differences. I do have a good amount ...

So I know I just started my first semester of nursing school (its 2 years) but I want to start getting ready for the nclex. I have the Saunders NCLEX review with some questions, but I also want a practice book. Any suggestions? And since it is so ea...

Today was the first day of clinicals, with an actual pt. and I feel so overwhelmed right now about nursing school. I'm starting to wonder if it is even worth it. I just want to cry and lay in bed watching netflix all day. I have been studying and ...

No, I was a CNA for 6 months and don't have a problem with patients. I just hate doing CNA work. It is the all the assignments and reading and things to turn in, and they are "taking it easy on us"

I have a planner that I use (and love). I write all my assignments and try to chip away at it little by little, but it seems like there is so much to do that I just can't get anything done.

Thanks everyone! Its just hard. This is the end of my 3rd week as a nursing student and i'm just so overwhelmed.

I have lecture M/W, labs T/TH and a clinical day Friday. We have calendars that show what we should be doing everyday but we have gotten off. My main problem is that I don't really know how much I should be studying. It is at least a few hours a da...

Yeah, we were told not to memorize things. To try to understand them and apply them to situations. We have to do 10 NCLEX questions a week and turn in on thursdays.

Well after class I come home and eat lunch and then study from about 11:30 till 1 or 2. and then I have to watch a show, take a nap, or something. and then about 3 or 4 I start to study again until dinner (about 6) and then do my last little bit of s...

I start nursing school in 2 weeks and I have a schedule. I will get up an hour earlier than normal so i can go to the gym.

I was just accepted to my school's 2-year nursing program. Orientation is in June and i'm trying my hardest not to over-worry. I'm not sure what I need to be doing. Buying a NCLEX book and start looking over questions now? Or is it too soon? I just...
