Restarting LPN to RN for the second time

Published

Specializes in LTC/Rehab, General Hospital Medical.

So, I failed out of my ADN program twice at one school. I'm starting again at another school in May.

May to August (I believe?) is an online LPN to RN seminar kind of thing, where they catch you up to speed to the RN semesters. I did this kind of thing at my old school. This one is online and self-paced. Then we go in for about 3 days for skill checkoffs. No problem there.

The problem is these last two semesters. Fall and Spring semesters. Originally, I failed this first one (Med Surg 1), then passed it. Then I failed the last semester (Med Surg 2). It was a tough hit as I was SO close to passing. It was so hard for me.

I'm wondering what I could do better. I knew the topics and subjects VERY well, but I failed every single test in that last semester including the final...

Can anyone give me some insight? I'm super nervous, but excited and I feel like I can get through this!!

During my bridge program, med-surg coursework came easy for me because I was working as a med/surg LPN. I was used to reviewing lab results, treatment of acute and chronic conditions, and some psych situations(we got a taste of everything on med/surg. Reproductive health was challenging for me, even though I got a B in the course. Is securing a part time or PRN hospital position an option in your area?
