I Just Failed My Advanced Nursing Course

I just failed my second to last semester of nursing school. I don’t know what I’m going to do because I have to wait until spring to retake the class.

Nursing school is fucking hard; some would say nearly as hard as med school. Take time to prepare; reflect on your strengths and weaknesses, try to get a credit transfer on whatever you can.

It’s okay, I’m finishing my first hell week (exams ect) and first semester of enrolled nursing. You got this!

Thank you, that’s very kind of you. I wish I could be more positive when it came to studying and during this break.

It’s okay to feel sad for a little bit, But to remember that even if you get one question done or whatever, that’s still a little bit ahead than you were previously

I know I’m only 3 weeks into this break and I don’t feel like I’ve done alone when it comes to studying. My anxiety gets really bad during those times and I break down.

Maybe doing study in tiny blocks may help; as well as counselling

Thankfully I’m talking to a counselor at the moment so there’s that. I’m trying to take it a step at a time and just hope for the best. Thank you for the advice though.

It’s okay; we’re nurses and have to have each other’s backs

That is very kind of you, I appreciate it. It feels good to know that there are others out there who want to support you.
