Getting into nursing school’s is one of the biggest accomplisments in my life. For someone so young in their 20’s, I had to sacrifice alot of things to get what i wanted. I worked my a** off these past weeks but I’m only passing 5 out of 6 classes. I’m passing clinical, 2 labs, and a communications theory class - it’s another theory class I haven’t been passing. I studied hard - questions, lecture notes, study group and I’m confident I KNOW the material - it’s just the application questions and my lack of confidence is what I believe is the problem. I’ve spoke w. a prof beforehand to let her know my concerns and she’s helped. After our last exam they told me i had NO CHANCE of moving on w. my class and the for me to have a guaranteed spot is for me pass my other theory class and have it in the WINTER. I’d have to go through EVERYTHING again - all that mental, physical, and emotional torchure and abuse.

I feel like such a failure and for the first time it’s difficult for me to have move on and have a positive attitude. THIS IS MY LIFE. i gave all my energy and focus to it. People say sh*t happens but i’ve done everything to avoid being in that situation. I don’t have a boyfriend, i don’t go out and party, I live at home, i’m not married/kids, etc…

Nobody knows how hard nursing school is until they get there…and I promise you, i’ve worked so damn hard…I’m so down and i feel like giving up but i’m not…i just don’t have the motivation the work at it anymore…but all i know is even the professors have given me the option of quitting, i’m NOT - HELL NO…b/c there nothing else I’d rather be doing…
the 1st quarter of nursing school has DRAINED ME..its hard to move on and know you’re going to THAT again…
even if i fail one, i have to reatake the WHOLE thing and in 2 quarters when there’s space available
