Hello, I am an accelerated NP student at a major US nursing school. After having a bad week 3 clinical and (apparently) worse week 4 clinical, I was told by faculty that I failed my clinical rotation. They also told me that I would have to leave nursing school with a failed clinical on my permanent record. My world has been completely turned upside-down by this and I don't know what to do. I am meeting with a counselor this week to discuss my exit plans, but I feel like my chances of ever becoming a nurse are over. My primary goal is to first get the "fail" overturned and be allowed to voluntarily withdraw from the course. After that...I'm not sure. I'm 30. I have a wife and was on course to have a great, well paying career. Now I'm stuck with over $100k in student loan debt and years away from becoming a nurse (if it's even possible). I would really appreciate some sound advice right now because I feel like my soul has just sunk to the bottom of the ocean...
