26yo, failed 1st semester holistic course (=fundamentals) in this spring 16 accelerated program. Was originally on track to graduate may 2017 after taking 4 consecutive semesters (spring/summer/fall 16 and spring 17) however I am now ineligible for accelerated program and will be graduating behind the traditional class that started with me this semester. It is already depressing that I failed the evidence based/holistic/fundamentals of nursing, but it is even more discouraging that i won't be able to graduate until december of 18, meaning I would skip 2 summers (courses are not "offered") and would be essentially 1 1/2 years behind. I did well in other aspects of the course (skills lab and clinicals), but the course requirements are to have a 75 exam avg before other grades can even be calculated in. My test scores were 86, 68, 74. I studied the same way I did for the last 2 test as I did for the 1st, but obviously it didn't help. I want to be a nurse but the fact that I will not have a career most likely until spring 2019, I'm totally discourage by how far behind I will be. I just want to know what would you do if you were in my situation, would it be more beneficial to continue with class. Also, What is the best advice.
