    I failed nursing 1 and had to retake it and I felt so dumb and saying “if I failed nursing 1 I’m not fit to be a nurse.” Nursing school is not for the faint of heart and I’m finally in nursing 5 and almost a nurse!!

      Keep going! And anyone else reading this, don’t give up on that license you want. I failed out of nursing school term 1, started over, then failed term 3, set back my graduation by 10 months, failed my exit exam the first try, but I got through and PASSED, and GRADUATED! ALMOST ALMOST a nurse presently. Cried many, many times in my car or as quietly as possible in the bathroom pretending I was pooping. 😂😂😂 Just keep going, keep striving, stay focused on yourself. Keep your business to yourself and reach out for help when need be. Best of wishes to EVERYONE on the nursing school struggle bus 🫂❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

    My first semester of Nursing School I cried! I always believe I’m blessed to be smart but it did humble me the first time I failed and I actually failed 2 exams in a row and made me question am I really supposed to be here?? But after crying to God, I told myself I’ll do my best and whatever happens I did my part. Guess what? God had been gracious and about to be Senior this Fall. Hang in there! You are not alone! Take it easy, appreciate the good and the bad!

    OMG… I can testify to this. I cried, cried , and cried. I was also depressed at some points. Nursing school was a nightmare for me and I lost my mom during the most difficult semester (3rd semester) and a lot of life challenges happened. I almost quit during the 3rd semester. I also failed some exams but GOD being so great and faithful turned things around and I passed through and I am graduating in a two weeks. I will have my BSN and I am super GRATEFUL TO GOD because it was not by my power.
    To whoever reading this and still in nursing school or planning to do nursing, I bet you it not going to be easy but the ONLY way to this is to keep praying and hold God strong. Nursing school is not how smart you are, is just by God’s Grace.

    This needs to be said. I was kicked out of clinical rotations in my first semester and cried during the termination meeting while the professors were all laughing. A few semesters later I saw another nursing student cry after failing her final exam and the professor gave her hugs and added 20 points to everyone's grade so she could pass. I feel that certain students receive more sympathy when they cry, but males or men are sometimes expected to be more masculine and not cry and when we do it is frowned upon.

    Crying... also during professional life. I have been practicing for 19 years. As a man, I recognize as a problem to undertake emotions somewhere inside, and I don't remember myself crying all what I should have done. I remember my tears for patients and colleagues, whom I followed years, and I will not see them again for a while. There are daily reasons to cry, because of the pain in our patients, and due to the personal suffering caused by colleague's or patient's words. Crying or being able to find a space for reflection can bring us comfort. And finally, embrace our great feat and daily truth: our full dedication to search the well-being of our neighbor.

    I love this Sarah, I worked an overnight and drove over to the hospital for evening clinical and sleeped in my van in the parking garage. Woke up, walked in and forgot one peice of information for instructor . She sent me home...i was so upset that i drove the 1.5 hours home balling, then a panic attack set in and chest pain and blurred vision. I was hospitalized for my hypertension and I realized that I needed too reevaluate or I was going to be dead before I graduate. I worked with my instructors and came up with a plan that extended my time in school but lessend the load. I graduated in December and about to take my boards. I wasn't going to let Nursing school end my dreams. I made it work for me. I have shed so many tears along the way but the best ones where of joy when my 5 children watched me walk across the stage in my cap and gown. I love your videos thank you for being you!

    I cried twice last semester. I ended up failing med surg 1 by 1 test answer (did really bad the first test and couldn't catch up)
    I stopped paying attention to my other classes which I was breezing through and started tutoring and quit my extra job before my second of three tests (needed to avg 81 on them) and I got a 75 and didn't get any adjustments. I felt so hopeless because I felt I knew the info so concretely and still didn't make enough. So then I made it my full time job for the last test where I needed an 86 and I got an 84 and cried again. That one question added 6 months and thousands in debt.
    What's helped me the most is knowing I'm not alone and I'm really grateful for this video.

      Wow! Thank you for saying this, I am going through this same exact experience. I am a nursing student finishing up my second semester. I was going through a lot personally and taking three nursing classes at once with moving out of state for school, having no health care experience, going straight from online school back to in person due to COVID, etc.. has made it hard for me. I had to drop my fundamentals class about 5 weeks ago since I wasn't doing well in pharmacology and fundamentals. I also found out that I have to move a cohort down and take an extra semester. I believe that support and reaching out is super important, so that way we can have the mental fortitude and perseverance to survive nursing school.

    Not a nurse, but a firefighter/EMS provider. When I was a firefighter recruit going through EMT class, I failed one of our exams by several points. Officers from my department came to the college to present the ultimatum. Failure of another exam would have resulted in my termination from both the program as well as my employment. I ended up crying in front of all of them, and my classmates knew as well after I had left the room. Long story short, I passed the class and became a certified firefighter/EMT. Later down the road, I pursued my dream of becoming a firefighter/paramedic. Although I don’t recall crying at any point during medic school, I still think back to that dark time. These videos helped me then, and still help me to this day as a paramedic when I need help understanding those rarer cases, or just to brush up on basics.
    Thanks for the putting these videos together. Your content is highly appreciated in EMS!

I was taking a review quizzes too. It is very helpful and now I am heading to clinical. As a mother and was being online class, it was a huge challenged for me and thinking of giving up. I was praying and thinking NURSE DON'T GIVE UP! I had to redo on my presentation but I thanked my professor because I said after my redo I have idea what am I doing.

    I would cry sometimes in my bed after certain days in nursing school. I remembered balling my eyes out during the drive home after a couple clinical days. Just to let you know it doesn't stop after nursing school. I'm coming up to my 6 month anniversary as a professional nurse. I still cry some times after a really hard day at work. Crying means you care about what you are doing!
    P.s. I still feel like I tricked everyone. I doubt myself too much.

Why can't I do anything right? My classmates are doing great under pressure but why do I crumble?

I've graduated and I'm doing just as good if not better than my other coworkers!

Deep into my first and most stressful term thus far, my daughter was sick and having a tough morning (to top off a slough of other personal issues and the insane nursing school workload). I tried so hard to make it on time but I tripped up the stairs into the building on my way in, banged my knees, and dropped my prep paperwork in a puddle. I just wanted to give up, sit on those wet steps, and bawl my eyes out. I didn’t, thankfully. Instead, I let a couple of tears stream down my cheeks, wiped off my wet papers, and went into clinical looking like a wet mess. But it ended up being ok, and I found an inner solid calm to lean into that day. Now when things are going wrong or I’m over stressed, I’m able to recall that and repeat to myself, “Everything will be ok.” It sounds hokey but it’s accurate - just don’t give up!💪🏽

      I had a pedi/ob exam that I failed a few weeks ago, so bummed about it. The next week we had a cardiac exam and I made the highest grade in the class. Nursing school is a wild ride, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and we are all just trying to survive so we can go be grown up nurses in the real world!

    I was in class when I started to cry. I hurried and left so no one would see me. I started hyperventilating while crying. Plus I was wearing a mask which didn’t help at all. I went to a teacher because I was unable to stop, and she let me cry in her office till I could calm down. I have a huge problem with bottling everything up.

    I struggled with depression and anxiety in my first program then, my first patient died in clinical. Full. Code. I did compressions 5 times and held her head still while she was agonal breathing while the physican inserted a line. My professor was not available to talk with me about it after words and I ended up not coping with it well at all and my grades slipped. I got kicked out and I only had 1 semester to go before I would get my BSN. Instead, I will be graduating in 5 days with my ASN.
    I feel much more prepared now. I worked as a tech during all of Covid and even got a Nursing Apprenticeship so I have been practicing being a nurse at the bedside for 8 months now. I feel so ready even though I know I don't know everything.
    Sometimes, it works out for the best.
    Best of luck everyone!

    I am currently in an LVN /RN Transition program and am about to graduate. We all took a cardiovascular/respiratory critical care test a few weeks ago where pretty much everyone failed the exam. My grade was so bad that I almost cried when I saw the grade on my computer... You'd never seen such a grim, despondent group. I went to the bathroom and cried, figured I was out. Exams are 65% of our grade so bombing one exam can really truly end you in this class. Instructor reviewed the test, several questions were tossed out and more weight was given to select all that apply and next gen questions. Now I'm back to making an A/high B (depending on how I do on the final!), am graduating in a couple of weeks and I landed my dream job already! I have to say your videos have helped me quite a bit and they came highly recommended. Thank you for what you do.

And I decided nothing is going to happen if I’m just sitting around crying all day so I applied for the LVN program and got in and now I’m about to finish in September and go back to the same RN program I got kicked out of and I get to start off where I left off so I only have 7 months of my RN to do.

    Stand up. Straighten your back. Take a step back and look around.
    Next, turn on YOUR theme song. That song makes you feel emboldened.
    Now, THINK: What must you change to reach the next goal?

    Respect for nurses and med staff. Some people do not deserve kindness from you guys. What turns a nurse sour, besides endless shifts, are bad attitudes from patient and coworker alike. Makes it unbearable. Also a big sacrifice and commitment since patient-staff ratio is insane. I don’t know how people do it, I’d rather be a farmer.

    I'm gonna get real personal.......... I had a long road to get to school, I started last year and my very first day of class (LPN program) my stepdaughter (19 at the time) died in a car wreck. I lasted 3 weeks after that and I just couldn't do it, couldn't remember being there some days etc. So I withdrew myself from the program. I had rearranged my life to accommodate all this nursing school stuff at the ripe age of 40, to only have my life completely altered. I've lost a parent already but this is not the natural order of things and it's still hard to grasp. I stayed PRN at my job (from my previous fulltime) for this year after, I needed it. I've come a long way in this year and I've grabbed the bull by the horns and will be starting again next week. I'm saying that to tell you to take a break if you need to, find a program that suits you if possible. If you really want it, mentally prepare yourself and you can overcome anything.

      That is called a burnout!! You need to practice self-care and take a break from studying. If you have good cushioning in your courses, you won't have to work as hard because you can kind of "afford" to get less than expected for a grade. When I feel like I am starting to burnout, I just do what I love. Go out with my friends and have a good time. This usually snaps me out of burnout pretty quickly. I also bought one of those badge-buddies that says "RN" on the bottom of it. If I need motivation to study, I just look at that and think of how I will get to use it in four months when I pass everything.
