Starting nursing school....AGAIN

Published

I started nursing school in the Fall 2010 but withdrew in October.

I wasn't passing, and then I had a death in the family.

I think I may have been getting the hang of it...I didn't pass my first two exams, but I did pass my third exam....then the death in my family sidelined me.

I'm feeling lucky that my school(Tulsa Comm College) is letting me restart this Spring. I'm very nervous about passing...I can't fail a 2nd time!

Has anyone else had to retake a semester and then done okay?

I personally did not but my roommate in college did. She was accually kicked out of school for 1 semester. She was a food science major - pretty hard. She came back and ROCKED it...you will do fine!

Before u know it u will be done, don't be nervous, you have a better idea what to expect and stay positive, it's not forever even though it feels like it

Put what happened behind you. I had to take one class over and when I took it I ROCKED it! Just know that while you have to take it over again you will know much more information then you did last time. It just a bump on the road to success.

GOOD LUCK!

Ditto for me. The class was so much easier when I repeated it. I got a 78% and when I repeated it this semester I ended up with a 95%.

I started my ADN program this past fall with the hopes of passing with a 75%. I missed it by 4!!!!!:smackingf I have since then cried, kicked, screamed, felt like crap, ate WAY to much chocolate and felt sorry for myself. I reached the point yesterday and today that I am over 50% with a foreign language. I got a 71. Ok, that is 71 out of 100% and it could of been a 61 out of 100%. The point I am trying to make is that "If first you dont suceed, dust yourself off and try again, try again." (Aleyiah) I heard that song today and IT FINALLY DAWNED ON ME THAT I WILL BE OK and I will learn more from this experience. I have to repeat my Fundementals of Nursing next fall. I dealt with this semester an affair(husband) 10 yr old daughter, school, health issues(RA gone bad=Lupus), crappy self esteem which dragged down my attitude, which none of these are no excuses by any means, but the fact that I got the grade I did with all of this crap going on, well, is pretty good. I am getting some testing books over the summer to help me with understanding our tests more and if I have to sit in on 2 lectures a week and extra clinical time then fine, I will. I work better with getting the info, doing the hands on, and then spitting it out on a test. It didn't happen this way this past semester, so I discovered this myself. Tweeking as they call it!

Good Luck!!!!

Don't feel bad. The best Nurses come out crisis situations!! :):nurse:
