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

Published

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?

I would want to take a class over again if that was the only issue. It is a little suspicious if you can get through a program without failing anything else and then suddenly be told you need to start over. I could smell a lawsuit.

That sounds like my worst nightmare. If it happened, I would accept that I had wasted my time, hadn't learned what I needed to learn, and move onto something else.

Here in the south, there are not alot of jobs to begin with, especially one that pays enough to actually make a living. I am just trying to think five years down the road when i cut my hand off trying to work a sawblade in a factory and then think to myself,, If I had done two more years of nursing school, i'd be a travel nurse right now instead of sweating it out in a factory or sweeping floor at the mall for min. wage.

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.

I'm with this...not sappy-realistic. :)

Every other job I held I sucked in...nursing-from CNA, LPN, to RN, I have done well. :yes:

When I worked in retail, my last checks were always 35 bucks....strange-pardon my randomness. :shy:
