Thanks so much for your reply! Yes I could have been pushed back another 6 months and retaken the whole class, but it's just not worth it for me. It's a whole life of studying that I don't want anymore, I thought I did. But I am more of a laid back person, I don't want to have a stressful job. Some of these girls in the program are such Type A personalities, and I couldn't be around them anymore. I mean they don't have a life, they study 24 7, and I can't do that. I need a major that's going to be in the health care profession, but something where I can enjoy it more and not be stressed out everyday. I mean I have such bad anxiety as it is, so maybe nursing just wasn't for me. It turned me into an awful person, and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest since I switched majors.

Well I just recently switched my major from Nursing to Public Health. I was in my junior year of nursing school in my UDC 1 first clinical rotation, and I was MISERABLE. I literally would dread getting up and going to school, even though I enjoyed the hospital, I just hated the exams. Day in and day out, all I would do was study and I wasn't getting good grades. I kept getting 70's on the exams, (need a 74.5 to pass without a strike) and I just couldn't take it. I made it to the end of the semester ended up doing fine in three classes with C's, but my UDC 1 clinical class even though I passed everything throughout the semester, I failed the Hesi. We had to get a 750 to get a 60%, anything under that was an automatic 0 for the 10% of our grade. Therefore, since my average was a 76, I lost 10 points off my grade and ended up with a D IN THE CLASS. I have never in my entire life, ever gotten a D. I feel appalled and shameful, I feel like all the hard work I put into this was just thrown out the window. Now, I feel lost and switched my major to PH because I know I like the health field. I just am very sad, any advise about my new major would be good.
