Cream and Sugar thank you very much for all of your support and great advice in all of my posts. the site wont let me private message until I've reached 15 posts. This doesn't need to turn into a battle of who's advice is better. Am I nervous to approach nursing again? yes. My average is a 79.3. My school requires an 80 average to move on. Is it failing from the program? yes, but I do think I gained a ton of knowledge even though my score isn't passing. It wasn't easy to get a 79.3 and I worked my butt off for it. For my current school it isn't good enough. At my current mental state I feel defeated and discouraged and am just looking for some honest opinions about the smartest next move between the two options I suggested in my post. I guarantee everyone who has passed nursing school put in their blood sweat and tears to earn their degree. If you never failed, I feel you cannot relate to my situation. I just want to get my life timeline in check and take my failures as a learning experience. Again, cookies and cream thank you for all of your recommendations :)

I certainly did try. I know my average and it's not of a passing grade for the course. I'm looking for genuine advice, not criticizing comments, please.

So, I'm positive I'm going to fail out of my RN program in a few weeks.I need advice. After my journey to become an RN comes to an end this time around I need to decide my next move. Do I: 1- finish my bachelors degree at Qunnipiac majoring in Health Science with a minor in Gerontology. ( I only have my associates in liberal arts and sciences) OR 2- continue the nursing route and apply to LPN programs. (RN programs are very competitive and long waiting lists. I don't have time to wait) I am leaning towards my bachelors because I think no matter what path I take, I will have that degree. These days you can't do anything without a degree. I think I would be more valuable and it will improve my chances of hire. LPN route. it's an 18 month program, but I'm terrified of failing again If I finish I can work with the elderly that I love so much and have a job in less than 2 years. I want my next move to be worth it. I can do both eventually but unsure where to go first. I want babies and a stable life and I feel like I'm running out of time. :yes:If you were me, what would you do? thanks!

Hey Everyone, I'm currently at St. Vincent's College and am 1 point away from passing. I have just my final left and need to prepare for a back up plan if I do fail and get kicked out of the program. At this point, I need to work and can't apply to be put on RN waiting lists. My professors are stressing " no one will take you if you fail here"! I think my best option is to start an LPN program, be done in 12 months and try and get a job. I enjoy geriatrics so I'm perfectly ok with remain in a nursing home the rest of my career...Then later bridge over to RN when I'm ready. I would love to hear your advice and experiences from attending any of the LPN programs in southern CT. My options are Lincoln Tech, Shelton. Stone Academy, or Porter and Chester. All are expensive, and all have terrible reviews online. help.
