Flunked the Nursing Program

[greenbeana214]

Don't be a Nurse go to Med or PA School instead. 

[TestBanksNursing]

Don't fail and be a loser like this guy. Email RNRESOURCES2 [at] GMAIL [dot ] COM for nursing instructor test banks and ATI forms. Get better grades and makes your nursing dreams come true.

[ibangbigbangxo]

I dont understand why people are saying that they wished they would have flunked nursing school and that nursing is horrible. Wouldn't you get an idea of how "horrible" it is when you were in nursing school and doing internships? I think if nursing is "horrible" to someone then it clearly wasn't/isn't the right career for them.

[Jesusdied2pay4yrsins]

I'm wrapping up a nursing program, but won't go any further in "nursing education" once I'm done because I've been so disgusted and shocked by the level of "accountability" in the field. Originally I had planned to become an NP and/or work at an outpost. Now I'm just hoping this "education" will pay for my real education. "Failing" nursing means NOTHING, but it is a BLESSING. HANG IN THERE! Don't let this discourage you at all! ! There are LOTS people who understand. Have a good rest...

[told85]

so much racism and sexism in nursing. it is mentally and physically abusive. save your time and money! don't do it!

[mechan9]

My god, why would you post this for the world to see?

[brainsnbeauty006]

so what did you decide to do after how are things goin?

[MrKato55]

I am a nurse now and it is horrible. I wish I had flunked out of school

[iraqibodybuilder]

@MrKato55 why r u saying that/lol ?

[smoochy0711]

awww its ok(hugs)'

[Nadia9ish]

This video was posted a long time ago, what have you done since this? tellll meeee, im in your current position. ish. I havent failed but I didnt get a graduate program :(

[somewhatd]

It's alright man. Like you've said before, you work as a transporter and it's all good. I applaud you for going to college. You could always go back and study a little more on the concepts you didn't quite get. I'm planning on going to Nursing school and I Hope I'll do well. If I don't, well at least I tried!

[caleb6868]

If you tried you did'nt fail.

[sadler8444]

I responded recently...I was supportive of your position ...I was reminded or my spelling errors ...at the same time ..I was reminded of the basic problem with nursing?.....its the people you work with...you are lead by people that cant do what you do .....but demand you do it faster and better ....or be fired...welcome to nursing 101

[CLjuc87]

AWWW! I am soooo sorry!!!! I feel horrible!! I wish you did more NCLEX questions! I want to cry for you!! Keep us posted and let us know if you get to take that part of the program over again.

Chris L. RN

[tomx1704]

@CLjuc87 did you work on nclex questions on your spare time when you were in nursing school?...what book did you use?..saunders??

[CLjuc87]

@tomx1704 I did learningext (dot) com it helped me pass my boards!!! I did it in 50 minutes and it stopped at 75 questions. Don't give up guys!!! You can do it!!! It wouldn't let me post the full website. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Chris L. RN

[Superwoman2012]

@CLjuc87 When i got my RN when i was 19 (now 24)..It was different today. We were able to do our boards within a week. Unlike now you have to wait a month. No need to get extra books to study Just reread your notes and all and you will pass the boards with flying colors.

[Crazycardfreak]

It's all good - working at Banner Hospital now as a Transporter. It's a foot in the door, first hospital job. Got my CNA, so just need to wait a few months before I can move up in the hospital. Good good good.

[nokomarie1963]

You know, I never really thought that much about those who flunked out. Most of them were people I met again in other branches of the profession in later years. The NCLEX fails often re-took it and passed. It can all be done and learned humility in this profession is a good thing.

[disinfectingwipes1]

I hear ya loud and clear...I had to redo a semester( and wait 9 months to be able to re do it) because the directors of the program decided to change the passing grade in the middle of my program. I passed at the original passing grade that semester but since they raised it year 2 they failed me. nursing school is not about becoming a qualified nurse, it is about the college getting high first time pass rates on the NCLEX-RN .

[medicsmomhooah]

I just completed the nursing program and don't ask me how. That program had to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I feel for you and hope that you don't give up. If you choose to go back to nursing school or pick something else, Good Luck!

[Taxminia0311]

Dude, don't give up when life throws you lemons you make lemonade and when life throws you curves you ride it out regardless of the conditon of road one must take to achieve his goals.

I'm 43 and everyone in my life told me I was never going to make something of myself well I proved them wrong in 1992 I went back to school to earn my Adult High School Diploma and now im in the process of completing my prereqs for R.N, I didnt quit and neither should you, you are better than that.

[told85]

nursing is a joke. its a scam. dont waste your time and money.

[rapidracing911]

someone partied to hard and flunked

[magickunderpants]

I graduated a year and a half ago with a BSN from a top 50 ranked CON went on scholarship and my university has it's own hospital system and they will not hire me. This is a good thing you did not get in.

[romes2dam]

you should try Lpn you could attend part-time and be done before you know it...I am taking lpn and its alot to absorb during the full-time but if i don't pass my first tests then i will switch to part-time so this way it gives me time to study and really know the information well.

[Maliciousnectar]

@imthewhizkid programs (should) stress self-directed learning...disciplines yourself to keep updated on new reqs. the next day, a co-worker could just casually walk by saying "hey, they've changed the ABC's of CPR to CAB" (& they have). physorg.com/news/2010-10-cpr-c­-a-b.html we're mostly paying them as exercise trainers to summarize, review & chew us out..tell us which books to get so we know what pages to refer back to (since we've already gone thru the book) when we're on field.

[kevler8803]

its not easy

[mellain]

I missed it by TWO points!!! I needed a 78 to pass the semester and I got a 76!! I even begged. Ugh. I can't believe this. Lol I laid in bed for like a week, too. CRAPPPPPP

[MsDavalava]

I have my nursing final tom. and if i dont get an A im outa the program i feel ya

[iraqibodybuilder]

@MsDavalava ..??? tell me the good news. hopfully u did pass the final?? did u.

[Desoto875]

You should have to take the NCLEX twice. Just to make sure that you are fit to be let loose on the public.

[xTHExPASTxISxDEADx]

hey man don't give up.. I know how hard and frustrating nursing school can be.. I'm in my first year and I bet it only gets harder but failing one class doesn't mean you drop out! you can go into part time studies, go to a different program.. or talk with your instructor and see what you gotta do.. if you're really not enjoying it then maybe it's not for you but if nursing is what you really wanna do then don't give up.. you've already put so much into it

[Just4Kixs]

HEY!!! I flunked out my BSN program a few months ago. now I'm about to be an LPN, and I'm ready to go back to the BSN track...

don't give up! there really is hope! I wish you luck man.

Mike T.

[BluVitriol20]

you should go to my school. Everyone passes without a sweat.

[iraqibodybuilder]

@BluVitriol20 , which school is this, and wher ??? thanx

[BluVitriol20]

@iraqibodybuilder that was a joke. ^^

[iraqibodybuilder]

@BluVitriol20 dammmn it, u made me happy for a moment.lol

[BluVitriol20]

@iraqibodybuilder lol! sorry about that, dude.

[chittychad18]

Macomb fucking sucks, angel is gay, and so are many of the teachers, I haven't even learned jack shit in communications yet and Econ and phycology is bullshit. I can actually say western is going to be easier.

[iraqibodybuilder]

i wasted two fucking years in a shitty community college for radiogarphy, now all i got is bodybuilding and training people.

[tomx1704]

I know what you're going through!...I didnt fail out of nursing school but I dropped out right after my first semester..it just wasn't for me. now I'm doing heath information administration and i graduate in may =)

[zaelaawsomeness]

I feel your pain.

I was just failed six shifts away from completing the final practicum of my second year. Although I have an A average throughout the academic component of the program, I was failed because a clinical instructor decided she didn't like my questions. They want me to do the whole F-ing year over again even though I passed ALL the tests! I just wasted two years of my life.

[Crazycardfreak]

@zaelaawsomeness Damned be the evil gatekeepers (clinical instructors). One of my close friends is trying to sue the school for sexual harassment, since his clinical instructor had a bias towards the guys, and then failed him along with the other three guys in his class. I do hope he wins his case :)

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak Are u doing better? I hatged nursing school. the instructor gave a lie about me and got me evicted from the program. No mater, it was for the best. I am happy where I am now. Trust me, failign nursing is NOT the end of the world. did you notice how unfair the instructors are?

[Crazycardfreak]

@beautifulstar33

The instructors do tend to play favorites. Once you end up on their 'black list', that seems to be the end of it. I had a great three years after I got knocked out of Nursing School. Stumbled into two good paying jobs and had a great time. I'm doing Transport right now for Banner Hospital. In three months I can move up to being a CNA, so all 'n all things are good.

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak Do you still want to be a nurse? i discourage it. it's abusive and not even rewarding.

[Crazycardfreak]

@beautifulstar33

Not sure. If I enjoy being a CNA, then may pursue the Nursing thing. Not doing anything until then.

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak Are you a CNA now? I still say it's best to NOT go into it. This is a job where you['ve to sell your soul to the devil to be happy. No joke.

[Crazycardfreak]

@beautifulstar33 Well, I've already done the training - spent time and money getting it done, so it'd be foolish not to at least try it. I can always go back to being a transporter if it doesn't work out. Plus, the pay raise is nice. Gotta do somethin' to pay the bills, ya know?

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak Isn't there any other job to pay the bills? Since you're a guy, you've MANY options open to you for work, be it automechanics, electrician, etc than we women do. Moreover, if a nurse earns $50-$60,000 to start, without taxes beign cut off, then he earns only $45-50,000 per year, which isn't a lot, esp not for the kind of work you do as a nurse.

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak BTW, which profession do you consider to be more intellectual, nursing or teaching? I know nursing was considerewd to be a low level job at one time.

[Crazycardfreak]

@beautifulstar33 I suppose it's a bit subjective. I think the hardest thing as a Nurse would be the juggling of tasks, since there is a lack of them at most facilities. I would think engineering would be a true intellectual job. I've had many teachers who I didn't perceive as intellectual people.

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak I agree. WOuld u ever become an engineer?

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak WHy don't you try engineering?

[Crazycardfreak]

@beautifulstar33 That actually was my first attempt in college. I went for an Associates in Vehicle Design my first few years of college. It's somewhat of an engineering degree. By the time I got close to graduating, classes were being added to the curriculum, and no one was hiring associates. In fact almost no one was hiring at all, and many were losing their jobs in that field. Decided not to waste any more time trying to complete a degree no one would appreciate.

[beautifulstar33]

@Crazycardfreak why quit something yopu're close to completing? you would've gotten aj job eventually. Nursing is NOT worth it, trust me. Can u still do engineering?

[rawraw50]

@Crazycardfreak what are you doing now that you failed nursing school

what field did you go into to

[dbrooks12009]

@Crazycardfreak Do you still want to be a nurse? If you do, I would try another nursing school. The nursing profession is in need of men like you. I failed a few parts of my RN program. Thank God I was allowed to repeat them right away and pass on the second try before having to repeat my whole last semester of clinical. I know how dissapointing & awful it is to fail. You can still do this, but I'm sure you know this. You just need the right school & the right instructors.

[Depravedmaniac666]

@zaelaawsomeness Well, what questions did you ask her exactly? I'd also like to ask you with all that money you spent on school, and the extra time you wasted would you ask the same questions again? If no, why not? If yes, why so?

[BrutalRealist]

@zaelaawsomeness Oh man..this is so common in nursing. It's only an indication of what you will deal with after school. Nursing instructors can be some of the most evil people you will ever meet in your life. I discourage EVERYONE from going into nursing...pick another field..you'll be much happier! I'm getting out of nursing right now. :-)

[Flhair1]

@BrutalRealist ~ so are you a nurse now?what career do you have now?& why did you chose the career?

[NamekianPikkoro7]

@zaelaawsomeness Then take the school to court.

[miasecretbutterfly]

I feel you buddy I'm turnin 30 next yr and I have had 3 careers just flunked nurrsing reseARCH-the 1ST THING i EVER FAILED OTHER THAN RELATIONSHIPS thoe lmmfao but this vid was exactly what I was thinkin now I need a real job, AGAIN, free time eq internet peace

[XYtruck25]

don't give up guy. I took phelbotomy class and I failed. Instead of putting the needle in the vein to draw blood, I accidentally hit her in the eye with the needle. I failed 2 years in a row. But now I am a true phelbotomist, working in a hospital for 2 years now.

[rekeyamarie]

Hey my friend, I have been a nurse for over 5 years now. It was not easy...get back up and try again honey!!!!! WE NEED YOU!!!!! Failure is not an option. Even if you don't study Nursing again...explore life and make a difference! The answer is inside of you my friend!

[jessikuh92]

not everything in life is easy , you just need to over come it and become a stronger person because of it! =)

[Crazycardfreak]

@jessikuh92 Thanks for the support :)

[misao1414]

hey don't give up! ^_^ you can still make it! :) i wish you the best. ^_^

[maureen1002]

Don't worry, you will figure something out!! Figuring out a life path is one of the hardest things in the world to decide!

[SanSuMartialArts]

lol get back to the books dude and quit feeling sorry for your self ... never give up on your dreams or you will sit for 40 years wondering what if

[ChristineRaashida]

Dont feel too bad this is my second time failing school and since you get two times to fail a class fourth time failing

but they say three is a charm

[msbrightside19]

aww sorry to hear this. iam in nursing school my self and trying to survive it. ive seen people who got dropped and its more sad cos some of them are my close friends. but keep it up just dont give up

[danielsonrg]

LOL, I just finished nursing school

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@danielsonrg i envy u.... I am a CNA and I HATEEEEE IT! im going to school to be an OT

[tomx1704]

@EyeWearMySunglasses If I had the opportunity i would also definately choose to do OT over nursing!

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@tomx1704 i wavered back and fourth...they both make good money.. I dont know about OT but it seems like Nursing attracts all the people with ISSUES! Too, I think OT is being overlooked due to everyone flocking to nursing, soon the field will be saturated.

[danielsonrg]

LOL, I just finished nursing school

[ireallyloveggs]

dont give up dude i been shitty iam in nursing school and i fluncked some 2 class for the first time you know what iam not going to give up iam goign to become what i want to become.

[Crazycardfreak]

thanks :)

[maryferry2]

You can do it! Try again, never give up buddy, I moved to a different state to study nursing, Keep on trying!

[ladydipset88]

Were you really in a Community College for over 5 years? When you say that, does that mean you went for 5 years straight with no breaks in between or you took long breaks and went back?

[Crazycardfreak]

I took breaks for the summer, but that was it. Spent a little over two years aspiring for a vehicle design degree, only to find that the local auto industry wasn't 'bouncing back' like my fellow students hoped it was. I then did a 180 and aspired to be a nurse. Got the prerequisites out of the way, got into the core classes and had to retake 2 of them to keep in the program since I got below a 78% in those classes. Wasn't worth retaking though since I didn't pass the following class anyway.

[jis2cool]

@Crazycardfreak 78% or lower is failing in nursing school at a community school. really?

[Crazycardfreak]

@jis2cool Indeed. Quite a grading curve.

[ashley911]

@jis2cool

You are incharge of peoples lives--- do you really want the person that has 50% knowledge to keep you alive>?

[PEB979]

why what happen ? really I'M PLANNING on starting nursing school

[Crazycardfreak]

For me, college was usually a breeze up until Nursing Core Classes started. There was always an obvious way or method to pass, as in studying the notes or learning the terminology. Sometimes it was harder, but usually there was a way cleared to pass the class. When Nursing classes started it seemed to me that the opposite happened. Suddenly the professors were doing the opposite, and the 'clear way' to pass the class was unseen. Never knew what to study. Hopefully it'll be different for you.

[BOOK4WORM]

@Crazycardfreak

We all know that Nursing programs are hard here in America and when you graduate and find a job you find that there are a lot of nurses that did not attended our Universities they graduated mostly in the Philipines then they come here and just take the test 10 to 20 times until they pass, is this fair?.

You my friend are giving up to soon keep it going until you get you degree.

[gourmetcoffeee]

@Crazycardfreak There is really no clear way. It is just study! study! study! If you have to cover a lot in the week you do not have time to take notes. highlight important areas in the chapters and read over them as many times as you can. Discuss the important topics with classmates in study group. the discussion should help you remember. If you only get C's don't stress it's harder than anything else. Just do your best.

[Nurse2bii]

Good luck to all of u it is hard but not impossible. I bought this guide from ebay called survival guide for beginning nursing students. Its not really beginners only it shows you different ways to study and things to do to pass. So anyone struggling might wanna buy that .

[Hernt26]

Well i'd rather you fail out instead of sliding through the program and eventually killing a patient. So dont be sad, you may have in fact saved lives by not succeeding.

[mntnrder]

does nobody in your real life care what the hell?

[sadler8444]

My name is John...I flunked out in the mid 80's but i am a RN now sense 93 thanks to a self study AAS program I was able to complete..Don't give up...if I can be a RN so can you:)

[Crazycardfreak]

Thanks :)

[peachymomma]

@sadler8444

Dear John,

I know why you flunked the RN program. Since I see how well you can spell its obvious. :-)

Signed,

Not a hopeful patient.

[rythmcity]

@sadler8444 since* hopefully you perform nursing evaluations with more common grasp of the english language

[dat427guy]

don't quit.

[WS6TALS1]

Flunk? How can everyone say nursing school is so hard? Im a Biology major with a minor in chemistry and it was difficult. I just dont see how taking INTRO chemistry classes without physics, calculus, genetics and so on can be so hard for people. Sorry about your situation man, just try again.

[coopedaddy]

Because all of those classes have clear cut black and white answers, Nursing does not. I went to school for engineering, got a degree then later changed careers to Nursing. While I still made President's List it was much more difficult than my prior degree.

You think it is an easy career then show us how you can fly through the NClex or HESI. You may find yourself mistaken.

[kuhleskind]

I think somebody ahem^^ needs to get off their high horse "i'm a biology major ..blaah blah..i talk like im chewing my face" lol. im a student nurse and Im going to Med school, nursing/ medicine is tough and it is always changing there is always new material to learn, research and keep up with. not to mention its even harder depending on the college u go to and their passing standard.

[00MrPanda00]

Set your priorities straight guy....

Moping around lying in bed and surfing the web is what you have to kill

[bloozeman1969]

maybe if you would've spent more time studying and less time blowing your boyfriend you would have passed the class......but dont give up, maybe you could go back to school to become a hair stylist or possibly an interior decorator....

[slowplaythis]

this makes me very happy, loser

[rhiann4566]

HAHAHA!!!!!!!! I've got one more exam and it'll be my make or break. Instead of studying, I search nursing school sucks. I love your video. Thanks for the laugh during my 2am "study" session. You'll make it. Give it another try

[richardnge11]

lol same here.

[wtfandrea]

byyyyeee!! LMAO

[Glassgothgirl]

That's awful! :(((((( I'm in nursing school now and I can't imagine...don't give up though...find something you love..nursing or not. You gots prayers!

[fakesanewxtrend]

I almost went to your college for that program :S

I'm sorry that happened!

[ThisGuysaid]

oh man! I thought I was da only person in da world that faild nursing their first time! Wow! I'm in a nursing program again. Im praying this will be the last one. Bro I know how it feels to fail da nursing program, i was in a nursing program in a university very expensive failed my 2nd semester. I felt da whole world just turned upside down. My life was a wreck, BUT I didn't give up. So you shouldn't give up. Things happens for a reason, you just gota pick yourself up and don't settle for less.

[AgentNibiru]

Thanks for the support. I hope to go back soon

[TallKan211]

damm failing clinicals because the lady just said no that BS dude that hella sux

[TallKan211]

how in the hell did you fail clinicals?

[AgentNibiru]

Simple - Teacher didn't think I was 'ready', even though I completed everything that was necessary and passed, she still had the final say, and the final say was NO....

[AlysiaMarkowicz]

Jimmy, why have I not commented sooner...you need to go back and you will do great. It doesnt have to specifically be nursing but you really are such an intelligent guy that its a waste to not use your brain in school and get a degree. You are awesome! you'll do great! Love you :-)

[Pokygirl2001]

Hey, I failed both psych (I blame the psycho teacher from hell) and actually I failed a class in the first year too. I failed the clinicals, not the theory classes. It's never too late to go back!!

[zhs2009]

Don't feel like a loser! Try again! Never give up!

[veggievampire]

you look edible in bed

[garthrussel]

dang dude, I noticed this was posted back over a year ago...wish I would have seen it sooner. Listen bud....I too failed my second sememster of the third year....I literally said F&*k it. BUT two years later I started back from day one at a different university and passed all four years. DON'T GIVE UP BUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crazycardfreak]

Thanks :)

[boybeauty]

Well I failed out of the nursing program too and had to back track and get my LPN/LVN licensed before going back into the RN program. So if you really want to be a nurse, don't give up and just keep going.

[moncj66]

yeah, i failed 3rd semester last week which consisted of OB and peds..very difficult..ur lucky to get an opportunity to take it 4 times! We only get one chance to retake a class, but I don't even get that chance since i failed two at the same time..so I trying to get into another program and doing nothing...what a waste of my life!!

[jlomba112]

I just failled my peds couse for the 4th time. II don't want to see another nursing book or here about a clinical ever again.

I agree with rickbar123 this was so not worth it. I wish I never singed up for nursing school. I have thousand of dollars of student loans to pay with a dead end job. I would of save my self a lot of money time and grief. To put it in a nut shell I would of run though hell with gasoline underware on than gone to nursing school.

[Crazycardfreak]

I think I'd puke if I failed one class 4 times in a row

[carolinebernadette08]

don't give up, i was at the same situation before 2

[hwnpineapple]

why did you flunk? what did you do in the program?

[Crazycardfreak]

Got about a third way through the program. The standard's 78, and anything below is failing. My clinical teacher failed me simply cause she felt that I 'wasn't ready' - even though I attended every day and passed all that was needed. The other class I got a 73 and so that was failing. Retook those two classes, passed them, and moved on. The semester after I couldn't keep up and failed a third class. Awesome.

[bubblybabs]

The answer is obvious - the nurse knows more than you realize...

[flowingtruly]

Oh man, i feel your pain but if nursing is your passion try the LVN route. There are private schools that offer LVn besides community colleges.

[rickbar123]

listen bro, nursing sucks, be glad you did not make it, i have 14 years in, it was so not worth it

[Ragaapoo]

depends where

[SCSlimBoiseID]

Dude - don't give up. Get up and hit it again! If you want to be a nurse, hit it again and keep hitting it until you bust it.

If you don't, then go after your next dream the same way. Hit it and hit it again. Men don't quit. They get beat up sometimes, but they don't quit.

[VeloFille]

the same thing happened to me last year, it turned my world upside down and shook it until everything fell out. i did exactly what you did -- slept in and stayed in for a few days...

[Crazycardfreak]

Good to know I'm not alone :)

[debbyluvsbud]

sorry to hear that, maybey it just wasnt ur thing.

[11moonelf]

arasta999: I would say, ask yourself *why* you want to be in nursing school. might seem obvious but often it's not. do you love it? like it a lot so far? life is too short if this is not your passion. only you know if this is so. i worked as an RN for a decade, now am following my true dream. but i keep the license current since it's mine (lol!). the creds are great 4 certain of my creative work-life pursuits. but better to never let go the passions early on. if u love nursing, go for it.

[ExtremeRecluse]

My story involved dropping out after my clinical instructor sexually assaulted me. Can you believe it? She even had the nerve to tell me I did not deserve to be in the program. My theory instructor put her up to it. I called my theory instructor a female chauvinist because she always is derogatory about the male physical anomalies. My clinical instructor is her buddy. My theory instructor makes all the clinical rotation schedules. She put me with her two consecutive clinicals. I dropped both.

[AgentNibiru]

Wow - those females really gained up on you! Did you at least report it? I mean, if was bad enough for you to drop out, then at least she might be reprimanded.

[jimmy88061]

I was sexually assaulted as well. I feel very helpless, I filled the complaint but it took all the fight and passion out of me. I really feel dead right now. To be sexually assaulted god I should sue, but with my luck I end up killing myself by the end of it. I feel your pain.♥

[Crazycardfreak]

I sure feel you there - I got failed for the same reason. Although I was no A student, I did everything in the clinical and it wasn't until the last day where she was like 'sorry, you fail'. Burn. When I retook the class they purposely set me up with a different instructor for the clinical. Someone else's opinion may be higher

[SPN09]

I just wonder were you guys go to school. I guess, its different, but my school (which is wonderful) gives out written warnings when things are not done correctly, and they are not even a bad thing, just means do it different. Anyways we have eval, every couple of weeks where the clinical teach rates us on everything we do, and we get a copy to view our weak and strong points, so if you are not following standards as well as expected you are aware in more than enough time to correct yourself.

[SPN09]

Also wanted to say. My school is NOT a easy going school, they are just truely concerned with producing the best nurses they can. We get ONE strike and you out. We have to maintain 78 percent of above. And if you fall below that after finals in even one class your out. You can reapply the next year. Retake everything and repay for everything. But if you dont make it that time, you are not allowed to go through their program, ever. My friend got a 77.6 in Pharm. And now has to reapply next year.

I went to Macomb Community College in Michigan. We also had to stay above a 78% as well. Theoretically I did everything right in clinical, except for conveying to the teacher I was ready for the next one. Either way, the Nursing program was too much information to learn in to little time. I just couldn't absorb it all at the rate that they wanted me to. I never had a clue I was going to fail the clinical until the last day. What school are you going to?

Ours isnt 78 it is 80.

Are you officially out of the program yet? If not you might want to run with it while you can. Even if you get only halfway through, at that level some schools will accept that half as credit towards their program, where you could in a sense pick up where you left off. Of course, only you can determine whether going back is worth your time and effort, depending on your current situation and all.

Dude, how far did you make it? I know what exactly Nursing school is all about! Fortunately I just passed my first semester.

[Crazycardfreak]

I would say I was about a third of the way when I flunked out. I failed 2 classes, retook them and passed, continued on to the next semester where I ended up not passing the class. Three strikes!

[lachilangitaloca]

Are you still pursuing Nursing? They have the same rule in my school. You're only given a second chance. Hope things work out for you. There are other fields in which you can apply the prerequisites you took for Nursing. Good luck!

Don't give up!!! We had a few peeps not pass this semester. I was on the borderline of having to retake. Hang in there!

Ohhh! Don't feel bad because I know how it feels like. I was in a Respiratory Care program and barely passed my first semester of first year and failed the second semester. So I decided to switch to nursing, and here I am with a masters in Nursing working as a manager in a big teaching hospital and a part-time nursing instructor in a University. You can do it!

Hey Devon - cool to hear from you. Even cooler you found my video at random:). Appreciate the support - you're awesome. I'm staying positive about it though, despite the video I posted.
