I feel your pain. I passed this semester, and it's more work than I have ever done for a final grade of B. I had 8 to 10 classmates who were failed out of the program by a very difficult and unfairly contrived final. Me, I really can take or leave nursing as a career, at this point. If I'd have "failed," I'd not have been devastated. But many of my 20 or so classmates had their money, their hopes, their dreams, and their futures pinned on whether they passed or failed this semester. I cried with them, and for them. For all those who worked hard and didn't make it, if nursing is your dream, try another school, another semester, another level like LPN, or whatever it takes, until you find your place. Best wishes for a happier future, wherever you find it.
