Day 15 - Failing Nursing School

My grades sucked in nursing school to the point I almost gave up. Here is my story.

Don't ever give up.

After making this video, I didn't know what else to post.

@fgreen67 These ATI exams are national exams that my school uses to make sure we are on the same level with other nursing students throughout the country and to prepare us for NCLEX. My school is big on keeping their upper 90s pass rate. Worse case scenario, I can retake the course once more next year when it's offered again but if you fail any class again, you are out of the program, even if you are $30K into it. So I'm going to get off YT and go study now but thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Stephen. I am in an accelerated BSN program and we have to take ATI exams every term that have to be passed with a level 2. I have been in the program for a year, set to graduate in May, but just failed my first ATI exam with a level 1. It is in Med/Surg 2. I only failed by one or 2 points. I have one more chance to take the exam in 2 weeks and I am panicking because if I don't pass, I fail the entire course, even with a a possible B after finals.

Thank you! I'm currently in second semester med/surg and failed hard the first test. This gives me so much encouragement.

Truly inspirational. As a nursing student myself -I have felt exactly what you went through. I have another 1.5 year left for my BSN. I will watch your video when I ever doubt myself. Thank you!
