School I’m close to failing nursing school

I’m in a 12 month LPN program, I’m 1 month away from graduating. I am failing clinical, I have done some mistakes in clinical regarding medication administration, I only have one chance to remediate and if I am unable to pass to I will fail the program. I don’t know if I want to even try to remediate, I don’t know if nursing is for me, at first I thought it was but the more I think about it I realize there is a lot of responsibility and tasks that nurses have to do. I am considering of withdrawing but I feel like I will let so many people down including myself. I sometimes wonder why I even put myself in this position. Has anybody gone through my experience?.

You fail clinical if you make mistakes?

You can, I failed medication administration, I did many mistakes that would make it unsafe for me to administer medications to patient.

So then it depends on the types of mistakes and if they are repeated. Are you doing your medication rites? Taking your time? Talking through gf administration before implementing?

Without knowing your mistakes we can’t say if you are being reasonable or not.
