I'm feeling really discouraged. One teacher only teachers once a week on wed for her test that follow Monday through power points that are word for word from the book. The other overloads us with info and when we get to the test its like I'm reading a foreign language because they are completely different than what's covered in class. Then to top it off our lab time is a joke either we sit around doing nothing at all or we have to wait thirty minutes in line to use one practice dummy ! I'm already worried about not passing on to the next semester but even if I pass I'm worried about being an affective nurse. Clinical are coming soon and I feel like I haven't learned much or had the opportunity to fully practice anything !

I'm 25 with a bachelors degree, hubby and kid and I'm starting over in august. I go to orientation next month and the same things crossed my mind. I'm leaving a pretty good job to start over. I just told myself that I'm going to do what makes me happy and follow my heart. I'd rather try and fail than not try at all. You can do it!

I've been searching for something part time so that I can hopefully leave school then work for a few hours before my daughter comes home. I'm praying everything will work itself out the closer it gets to school starting. I'm glad I'm not alone and Good Luck to you !

Yes, that's the upside of it all..and thanks !

No, I have a two year old that I have to take care of and a husband that works night shift as a police officer.

Because the classes for the program are only offered during the daytime.

Thanks, I've heard soo many horror stories that I guess I scared myself!

I have a bachelors degree in an unrelated field and I've been busting my butt working since I graduated college three years ago. I just started a new job last week and today I found out that I got into the practical nursing program I applied for months ago. In order to complete the program I'll have to stop working and attend school full time. I've heard so many stories about people flunking out or getting burnt out that now I'm nervous and doubting myself. I've scared myself since I'm leaving my livelihood to pursue this goal. Does anyone have any tips on how to succeed in the program or advice on what to expect? I'm also nervous because its been three years since I've been in a classroom.
