second time around

Published

Hello everyone!

As the fall semester is approaching, I am more and more excited to start nursing school the second time around. I am not ashamed to day that I stumbled along the way in the past semester, but I have taken it as learning experience. I am more motivated and I know my priorities.

I have been preparing for my courses. I am taking this summer, as a review. I am taking this summer as a time to really save my money, and work with a new budget that will allow me to work less and study more for the fall semester. I am praying and keeping it a priority that I do well this semester. I pray to God that he stands by my side and guide me and keep me inspired.

I was wondering if there are students who have stumbled in the past, and are looking forward to this fall semester. What are you doing now? What are you doing or going to do differently for the fall semester?

Thank you all!:monkeydance:

Stumbled no... fell flat on my face...YES

I had to repeat a semester. I was so distracted. I had a brand new baby and had just lost my job and I found myself depressed and not putting forth the energy needed to pass the class. I stuck it out until the end hoping I would raise my grade, but didn't. I took that semester over and did complete nursing school this last semester. I am working as a RN now and it is kicking my butt. This is the hardest job I have ever had.

I hope you stay focused and keep your head up, there are alot worse things then retaking a semester!
