So sad......
Okay...... so I need to change my ticker...... I am so devastated - I have to retake Nursing III....... Makes me so sad cause I (and this year is the first time I have even been able to think this) KNOW I'll make a great nurse, and I excell clinically. My clinical instructor asked me to be her senior leader this semester for the class coming behind me and my clinical evaluation was one of the best I've ever seen...... but I got really sick this semester and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to take an exam in the thick of my sickness..... WRONG! I bombed that exam and the next two..... I feel like my ability to take an exam went away with the illness....... I am so sad...... I am now going to be in a different class and I LOVED my class to pieces...... also..... and the most devastating parts of this is that Seth now has to wait another semester (he is SO unbelieveably supportive of me, I am so fortunate) to be able to spend quality time with me...... and we have to put off getting KTFU for another semester! I know that there is a reason for everything and someday I will look back on this and think "Thank GOD I stayed back!!! If I hadn't stayed back.....XYZ!!!", but I wish I knew the reason NOW!!!! Ugh.... I was so close, and now am so far away again.......
Nursing school is absolutely the single hardest thing I have ever done in my life!!! But when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on!
.....and it can't come quickly enough!!!!

Re: So sad......
Cry it out. This sucks. Then know that when you retake Nursing III, you're going to rock that class!
I know this isn't the same, but I had to take physics 3 times -- twice in high school and then a semester in college. By the third time, I was actually pretty good at it...and that was a class I hated!
That's crappy.
Any chance that they offer it as a summer class and you can still march in May with your friends, then get your diploma in August? They do that at UM.
Either way you will still be a fantastic nurse. Several ladies on here had seen you work and your professors think you are fabulous. Tests do not tell the whole story.
That sucks.
Nursing school tests are hard enough when you are healthy, never mind being sick.
What helped me the most with nursing III exams was to buy 2 NCLEX prep books and do all the questions in the section that the test was going to cover (cardiac, resp, etc). I went to UMaine and the professors very closely based their test questions on NCLEX style questions, especially the last two semesters.
Good luck, and I'm sure you will do wonderfully the next time around. You will be a wonderful RN soon.
All of this! I'm so sorry you have to extend school by another semester. :-(
I know it's small consolation at the moment but I've lost count of the number of times that Nesties have worked with you and had a good experience. From their reviews alone, I know you are going to be a great nurse, even if it won't be exactly when you want it to be.
I'm so sorry for the let down, Skye! I wish that I had some awesome nursing words of wisdom for you but... nope. I know it's damn hard and I wouldn't even make it though one basic level class!
Silver lining for me though: Does this mean you'll still be at the hospital until graduation?!?!? I feel like putting your name on my birth plan so they have to assign you to me. :-D
.....and it can't come quickly enough!!!!
Thats good to know
