I'm sorry I should of been specific. I cannot start this fall. I was hoping spring of 2017. I want to be certified in phlebotomy and ekg but I'm not sure where to go since most schools that I know of are in north jersey

I was in nursing school this past fall semester. I failed the final and I'm out of that program forever. I took the hesi last week and missed it by a few points. Since I failed the hesi for that program, I cannot start until next fall because I missed the deadline. Part of me is glad I have some time off but the other part is disappointed because I know I can do better. I'm in the philly area and the only school I know of that starts in spring is the one I failed out of. I thought about going for my pct license but from what I see you need an active cna license and mine expired last July. I feel like I'm not meant to be a nurse! I don't feel smart enough and I hate feeling like this. My instructors kept telling me to keep striving for it but nothing is working out right now. Any advice? How do you become a pct? Any schools that start in spring around the Philly area? What else can I do?? I also have my associates degree so I'm not sure what other classes I can take. It's just the actual nursing classes I need. Please help

Thank you everyone :) I'm not giving up. Granted that would be WAY easier but this is my dream. I'm really considering an LPN school and bridge to RN and eventually BSN. I don't know much about it. One program I looked at required a CNA license which I have but expired this past July. How long is LPN school typically? A year? I have most if not all my prereqs done. It's just the nursing courses I need.

I failed my first semester of nursing school. I am extremely upset and depressed about it. I had a rocky start then proved myself. I completely bombed the final and in my program if you fail, you are not welcome back...ever. I've always wanted to be a nurse. And part of me wants to keep fighting for it. The other part are the negative thoughts filling my head such as "you're not smart enough, you can't even pass your first semester, you're a disappointment to everyone". I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I thought maybe I could take the long path and do lpn, rn, to bsn but if I fail who would accept me?? I'm very depressed about this. I feel like a huge disappointment and not to mention my mom paid for my first semester and I wasted her money. She said she'll continue to support me but I just feel awful. Any advice? I'm in NJ if it matters.

I'm failing both of my nursing classes. One class I'm not failing by much and the other I'm failing pretty bad. Today we had an exam which I passed (not by much). I met with my advisor and she's really pushing at me to take a leave of absence due to my home life (parents are divorcing, dad is an alcoholic who I lost contact with, and brother is a heroin addict). Yes I know others have it worse but then again my home life does get to me. I've been told by upperclassmen that if you're failing, you can still pass if you pass the final. So I would rely on the final to pass which is like playing Russian roulette. If I fail, I'm not welcome back into the program and it affects my gpa. If I take a leave of absence, I'm welcome back and it doesn't hurt me. My mom is not supportive. She says I've wasted her money if I take the loa. Which I can understand. I don't expect her to pay anymore. She doesn't understand how taking the loa will help me. Idk what to do. I feel stuck and they told me today that I have to make this decision tomorrow. Part of me wants to push through and he other wants to take the loa to get my life together and try again next fall. Any advice? Maybe someone did something similar??

I feel like I should give up. I failed my first exam and now my second exam. We need a 75 to pass. One was a 71 and the other a 69. I tried to study different ways but only meeting with two other students who have a B in the class to see how they're studying. I was teaching them the material! I have no problem understanding the concepts. I honestly felt good handing in my second exam only to find out I got a 69. I feel like I should withdraw because there's no way I can pass. We have one more exam, two more quizzes which are 10% of our grade and the final which is 25%. I feel depressed a lot from school. Everyone keeps telling me I can still pass but I really don't see how. I just feel like my dream has shattered.

So I failed my first exam. You need a 75 to pass. I got a 71. I'm the only one who failed. The upperclassmen said this was the easiest exam and they only get more difficult. I feel like such a failure. I can't stop crying. I have doubts on becoming a nurse anymore. I'm a horrible test taker. Always have been. I tried study groups, studying by myself, taking practice exams, etc. I took the quiz last week and passed. Has anyone ever felt this way? I'm scared to death of failing out

This is the best day of my life! I'm still in shock! BUT I'm nervous about the reality of nursing school. Yes, I know I won't have a life. Yes, I know how time consuming it is. Yes, I know how stressful it can be. Yes, I know I won't get much sleep. I'm a hands-on learner though. I can't read a book and ace a test the next day. I'm worried that I won't survive the first semester of nursing school. I've been a CNA for over a year now and I feel it's helped me on my confidence by communicating to patients. Can someone please give me the best advice they have?? Like how to prepare, what to buy that may help, what to really expect, etc. The program I'm in is 15 months. I'll have my RN after that assuming I pass the NCLEX. Obviously it's accelerated which makes me more nervous. They only accept 50 students and 75% graduate. That scares me because I don't want to be in that 25% that doesn't.

I'm currently taking chem 2 and it's a mixture of organic and biochem. I'm so lost! I ask the teacher for help and constantly go to tutoring but I cannot grasp the concept. I wanted an A in this class to balance out the C I have in chem 1. Unfortunately I don't see that happening Now I'm questioning myself on if I'm choosing the right path or not. I've been a nursing assistant for a year now and love what I do and can see myself being a nurse in the future but I feel like I have no chance in being accepted into a program. Guess I need some tough love or words of encouragement!
