Three options below for my continuing education..
A. I am going through remediation at my current nursing school. Honestly it's crappy what they are putting me through, and it's going to ruin my kids winter vacation if I do this. It's a 5 week remediation from Jan 5-Feb 3. Issue is.. We already planned to go on a family vacation during winter break, this was prior to my whole fiasco with nursing school and that EVIL teacher. In the end the school sided with her, and I had to brown nose and beg for another chance. So my "punishment" is this remediation course, and I had to sign an agreement to not miss one day or I never get another chance at nursing school.
My husband is less than thrilled at option A, because basically it ruins the kids and his vacation plans. I feel bad as well.
B. Apply to another college and get a basic bachelors degree in health science. Then apply to another RN program which is for people that have a bachelors degree in something other than nursing.
C. Apply to another nursing program, BSN and hope that I get in.
What do you think??

well written...
I think we all have some sort of defining experience, where we realize we made an actual difference as a student.
I had such a patient also, I think that was one of the main reasons that clinical instructor passed me because I caught something that the nurse did not.

I am trying hard to focus and read, but I honestly do not feel like it..
I am so sad, I need class and I need structure...
My cute husband is trying to distract me, but I am so sad...
especially with my nursing school books staring at me daily... I know I should study, but it's difficult.

I have my patho book and I am re-reading chapters that have to do with the course that I have to redo... Even though it was not theory that I had an issue with..
I have no way of practicing my clinical skills because now that I am out of nursing school, I am not allowed to access the nursing skill lab at school. Which is annoying... I have to wait for approval for readmission, and then possibly I get another chance.
Any suggestions???

I have to beg forgiveness and hope they give me another chance at nursing school...
this really s*cks.... I worked so hard, and now am on a forced "vacation"
If I fight then I give up becoming a nurse, and honestly it's all I want to do... so I have to beg

I thought because it has been a number of years since I had been the victim of an abusive husband, that I was free of the cycle. I thought I was free, and that nothing could put me back into that stage as a victim.
Sadly this semester, I was faced with someone that made me feel like garbage every single day that I was in her class. The point of saying continuously, "I can give you an unsatisfactory. That was really bad, I do not know what to do with you."
I had people saying, "it's her problem not yours."
But when she said the following, it was a shock to my system and where I had grown and become such a strong woman. That cycle came back, here was the conversation..
teacher, "so why do you want to become a nurse?" self, "because it feels good to help people and know that I was a part of their healing and getting back to optimum health." teacher, "so go become a crossing guard and help them cross the street." self, "excuse me?" teacher, "well I want to become a doctor but that is outside of my league, maybe nursing is outside of yours."
I have dreamed and worked so hard for years struggling as a single parent to work go to school and raise my children. It was my time away from them, it was part of what made me a better person and feel like I had a brain and this woman in one swoop. Put me back to where I was years ago, and I felt low and scared and nervous..
Resulting in my performance taking a major dive, because I was terrified of her ruining my dream. I was terrified of hearing again that she would flunk me and it resulted in me avoiding her.
At the end of the semester she said to me, "I am giving you a pass with a letter of concern."
it was a relief, and I felt a sigh of relief. But then two seconds later, she said to me "I just do not know what to do with you I do not like flunking students." This was the sort of Cr*p she pulled on us the ENTIRE, semester. Sadly she gave me an unsatisfactory, and I am out of nursing school. My dream is circling the drain..
Luckily I have a wonderful husband now, that said "this school was killing you, you were crying every night and killing yourself over being treated like garbage. You deserve better."
I sat down with the dean of my school to discuss how the teacher treated us, and her response was this.
"I know you and last semester you were strong and honest and open and I had a lot of respect for you. But now I see before me a different person, I do not know of this woman triggered a memory and caused you to digress to this person I see before me. But we have to come to terms with our feelings and know that there are people like this in the world and learn how to handle our feelings."
Basically, she's standing behind the teacher.
But it was a shock, because the dean was right. I fell back into my cycle of abuse, I just kept taking it and taking it and doing nothing about it. Because I was afraid of her, I am not afraid of her now. I have to meet with her on tuesday and I am refusing to sign my review because I am no longer afraid of her.
I am fighting this, and I know the reality might be that I may never become a nurse. But this woman should not be allowed to teach, and should not be allowed to cause students mental stress. She has no right to put students in an environment where they hate nursing and hate coming to class...
B"H this time around I have a wonderful supportive husband, and I am standing up for myself and finding my voice again.. The abuser should NEVER win..

I am out... the Dean did not care that this teacher was demeaning, and treated me like crap.
She told me my only hope is that the teacher does not say that I was unsafe.. If I was unsafe then I will not be welcomed back into the program... So I have to write a letter begging for another chance, and then I am back on the wait list

I heard from a teacher that most of the people in my nursing school are on some sort of anti-anxiety medication.
so I went to my doctor to ask her what she thought, because I have such anxiety around my teacher because she's evil.
She also stated that she has treated nursing school students with small doses of xanax and that it is not addictive because your only taking it when dealing with these stressful instructors and no other time.
I admit I was a bit unsure of it, but when u consider that she's threatening to flunk me. I figured what could it help.
Maybe mentally it calmed me down thinking that the medication was working?!? but honestly, I did really well in clinicals this week, because what ever it is that she said to me.. did not send me into a panic. I was calm passing meds, and she said "good improvement I hope it's not to late because I do not like failing students."
It did not hit me how mean she was.. I was just calm and said I will do the best I can next week to prove to you that I belong here. She nodded..
