RNs!!!! Did you fail Any classes???

No failures. I had student loans and living on my own at 31, so I couldn't afford to fail. Passed my licensing exam on the first attempt also, since my employment depended on it.

I just realized that you can see who voted for what-is there a way to make this anonymous? Publicly shaming is NOT my intent!

I've withdrawn from a handful of general ed classes, within the first couple of weeks when it became apparent that I had too much on my plate. I didn't want to pass, I wanted A's; I got them in most of my classes. In my nursing program, 78% or higher was passing for every exam, every final grade. We could fail one time. Two classmates had to repeat the final semester; one because of her performance in clinicals, the other for her approx. 75% grade in Advanced Nursing (lecture). Hopefully they passed their second try...I didn't stay in the state and graduated before the advent of Facebook so am not sure.

Nope. Never failed any courses. Passed the NCLX in 75 questions, first time.

Never failed a nursing course. Failing meant scoring below a 75% and it also meant getting kicked out of the program. I also passed NCLEX on the first attempt with 75 questions.

went in with a 4.0 in pre-reqs, graduated with a 3.5. Never failed or dropped anything. Passed NCLEX in 75 first time...but...I failed my ACLS written exam!

nope no failures. Pretty much sealed your fate in my program. If you failed, it was pretty much given you would not make it.

Same here. My program was very competitive, and the only two students that failed a single course had to wave goodbye to the whole program.

Personally, no fails and passed NCLEX on attempt #1, 76 questions.

Never failed a nursing course. Failing meant scoring below a 75% and it also meant getting kicked out of the program. I also passed NCLEX on the first attempt with 75 questions.

Sheesh! Failing score for us was 78%. Had to get a 94% for a freakin "A"

Failed my year 2 careplan which meant I had to redo my year two clinical paper. Fair bit of mucking around and game playing on the part of one.

Went from a fail grade to an A+under a different tutor. Passed state finals (our version of NCLEX) the first time

Failed the second quarter of our 6 quarter program. Mentally I was in a fog, couldn't concentrate, etc. Went to my doc, turned out I had sleep apnea with anxiety (I had gained a good 15-20 pounds since starting my pre-requs part time while working full time, food was my best friend:)). With a cpap machine and a glorious scrip for welbutrin in hand I was able to soldier on through the rest and pass the NCLEX on the first try with 140 questions (it was a nail-biter!). I later learned that about half our class was on some kind of med for depression, anxiety, etc., lol.

I failed my L and D semester. Went on to pass NCLEX first try and land a job before finishing school. I had to remove my head from my ass that semester. I was a stupid kid at the time and didn't realize that I was the one responsible for my grades and had to know that the teacher wasn't out to get me, she wanted me to succeed but I didn't see it until the second time through.
