Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 As some of you may know from myspace, I am in the 4th semester of RN nursing school. I have been an LPN since 2006. Right after LPN school I went into the career ladder program where an LPN goes right into 3rd semester of RN school(I love being a nurse, it's my calling). I had breast cancer surgery the month before LPN school started and did radiation the first 7 weeks of LPN school but I managed and I overcame and passed, during my first semester of RN school a nodule was found on my lung and then another on my thyroid, (along with a cyst on my kindney and spleen). I had the thyroid biopsied and it was neg for cancer but it disrupted my ability to study and I had to repeat that semester and I passed with the help of prayers the second time around. Now I am in my 4th and last semester and my grades are not good. The first two test I had I failed due to time I spent working on Race for the Cure instead of my studies. I thought I could pull my grades up once I resigned my position but the anxiety has been overwhelming. Last night we had our last unit test and I should of been able to ace that test, I barley passed and it wasn't enough points to leave me with a cushion for the final. I left out of class so upset because as with my other test this semester, I could not think clear to pick the correct answer. I even tried not taking most of my meds for the past month to see if it would help with my thinking. The only med I could not stop was/is zolodex because it is an injection I get every 28 days. I changed my attitude too, instead of thinking and saying 'test', I changed it to an 'opportunity'. This has been a very humbling experience and I am not sure what to do at this point except ask for you prayers and guidance. Im not sure as of right now the total points I need, but roughly I need 170 out of 200 to pass on finals. I will continue to study for finals and do my best. Please keep me in your prayers and I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you. Much love to you...Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Dearest Michele, I must give you a huge hug for remaining in class during those difficult physical/emotional times and doing well. I feel that sure, if I were in your situation, dear the feeling of anxiety would def be there. This is your dream, to be a nurse. I realize all that you have been through, the tremedous drive you have and I think it is so admirable, not many could do all that you have already achieved! I humbly ask you to bear in mind, dear heart, if it doesnt quite happen this time around, there are more chances for becoming the dream nurse you have wanted to be. You already are there, if you believe it and the chance to be it in the physical world will come. I will keep you in my thoughts, my sweet and good job so far! I am also here for you anytime you need me! Blessings, Luna > > As some of you may know from myspace, I am in the 4th semester of RN > nursing school. I have been an LPN since 2006.
