Ready to quit

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Published

I'm halfway through the second of four terms of an LPN program that I started in Dec 2012. I am guessing I won't pass pharmacology. I can't get the concept of dosing and the math involved. I'm an older (44) student and just can't keep up with the 20 year olds who whine and complained that they 'failed' and then showcase their grade of a 93.

I am trying to hold down my stay at home transcription job (which is NEVER turned in on time anymore), homeschooling the kids and recurring migraines (32 years now). I am at the point of no return. Grades are slipping and I don't want to keep putting out the effort only to know I will probably never get the concept of dosing calculations - a BIG, BIG part of nursing.

Ready to throw in the towel. So, so ready. Thanks for listening to me whine.

Sounds prudent and allows you to be a "finisher" (so important in the eyes of your kids), while making your life more balanced. :)
