Rn Failure!

[Madrn2b]

I WAS in a nursing program until I failed out recently. Tomorrow everyone goes back to class and I'm feeling... crappy!

I never thought it could happen to me. Now, I'm really scared to go back because I know that this past semester... I studied my "behind" off but I just could not answer the questions like the professors wanted. I guess I need to be a more critical thinker but.... now my self esteem is shot. Ok, so I'm not looking for a pity party....just some advice on how I might overcome all this.

Excellent advice! Thanks for looking at the whole picture.

Tutor,

I know your post was meant to help dazzle. It was perhaps one of the most wonderful posts I have ever read. I have printed a copy and placing it on the front of my refrigerator. I plan to use your valuable information for my own endeavors. Thank you so much for your information.

[WhatToDo]

I'm getting ready to start a BSN program this summer, so I'm not really sure I should post, but I have always done really well in school and have been both a student and a instructor in public health.

When I was in graduate school, I cried a lot. I think the crying really helps get the stress and worry of not getting it all done out so you can focus. Many of the girls in my graduate program cried a lot too. When you have to stay up late, get up early, not eat, not shower and not do anything fun for weeks at a time, life really sucks. But it is all worth it in the end.

I also find that visiting your professors often makes a huge difference when you're not doing well. When I had students come visit me and be respectful to me (you'd be surprised how students can really treat you like crap) I really felt the need to help them and it makes a difference in the end with grades.
