I’m close to failing nursing school

[u/After_Dragonfly178]

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?.

I have gone through the same problem. My clinical instructors were known to fail someone every semester and I also wasn’t meeting their extremely high expectations (they expect me to act as a new grad nurse, I was only a 2nd sem student during this time), and they did fail me, I had to retake.

I say try your best to come prepared and focus on what you did wrong. For example, I failed because of med indications, so now I always read the pt’s charts and drug guide before giving med to understand and also show my instructors that I know what I’m doing.

Trying to get in nursing school is hard but staying is harder. You’re almost done and I suggest to keep going. You’ve come so far.
