Would you do nursing school all over again from start to get your degree?

[northmississippi]

If you were about to graduate, and was told you have to start over again from beginning (fundamentals) because you are weak on writing nurses notes, would you do it for the Rn degree?

[FDW630]

Honestly, no. If I were weeks from graduating, I would not. I don't understand why you'd have to start over because of your nurses notes though. They should have corrected those from the beginning.

[Julesmama28]

He'll no! I'm not sure I would do it now, I'm only 3 semesters in! It's way too much stress, work and tears to start anew. Yikes. Just the thought stresses me out!

If I was going to fail because of that at the last moment, I would probably speak to higher ups in the program. See if there was something I could do to make up for that. In my program at least, as long as it is obvious you have put the effort in, most instructors will work with you. If that did not work I would probably seek another program, rather than going through an entire program that failed me once.

No kidding! There's not a chance in hell that one would get to graduation and be told they have to start all over because of how they write nursing notes.

Is this hypothetical or are you in that position? After having been through it, probably not. I was so burnt out and hated nursing school so much. My job isn't THAT awesome.

[Palliative Care, DNP]

I would in fact not go into nursing at all if I had a time machine. It is a thankless job where if anything no matter how small goes wrong Blame the Nurse! I even tell my children to choose anything but nursing.

My program had an instructor who prided herself on being the gatekeeper so to speak. She loved her self-proclaimed role of getting rid of students in their final semester of nursing school. Personally, I believe in most cases, if a student is so deficient that they must be failed out of the program, it is a demonstration of the program's failure if it takes until the final semester to come to this conclusion.

[Stephalump]

Absolutely not. I wouldn't give them another penny of my money, and I'd go find something else to do.

[Crazed]

Yes and here's why - I am supposed to be a nurse. I'd go to a different program and a different school but if that's what it took that is what I would do. Nothing else I've done has satisfied me in the way caring for people has.

Sappy I know.

[Everline]

Huh? That's crazy! There are many things I would do to try to resolve the situation. But starting the program all over again from the beginning isn't one of them.
