I failed first year

[Princess]

And now I have no clue what to do with my life.

Anyone offer any advice?? I kinda need it right now

[alc09]

Give some more information, where you at, college? And what subjects did you take?

[Princess]

I failed first year at uni,nursing.

Sorry,it's just most people on here know that

[alc09]

Fair enough.

And as I'm younger than you I aint in the best position to comment, so some of the older lot will be able to give you a better answer.

[Scarlett.]

Damn :/ you worked hard too

I'm not sure what you could go into next

[Fom]

I would recommend just trying again, its clearly something close to your heart. Keep trying until you get it.

[Tom4784]

Oh Laura I'm so sorry :hug:Like Fom said you can always try again. Or if you don't want to do it is there any other proffesions you're interested in that could use the qualifications you've attained so far?

[Beastie]

Was it a degree in nursing? I remember my step cousin failed her first year of her nursing degree and then she decided to go to a different university to do nursing but not in degree level in a higher diploma level.

So the advice I can think of is if you still want to be a nurse you could opt for the higher national diploma level. I think this may be easier than the degree level but I suppose talk to careers advisors first!

if you like anything other than nursing,, why not go into something,, like... try for modelling,, something famous. etc... maybe? but dont worry,, something will cum along for you. xxx

[Scarlett.]

I agree with Fom, if your heart is set on nursing, keep trying :)

[Tom]

There are other ways into nursing, e.g if you do Health & Social Care not at degree level rather than nursing, and then go to work in an old peoples home, after a while you'll have enough experience to go on to do nursing. Slightly more lengthy but if you've got no other options you could try that. Or you could always do the year again (whether at the same uni or not) but if you can't start again until next year then you might as well get some work experience over the next year.

Or you could always look into getting an apprenticeship in nursing.

My mum also failed her first year but she is now a great nurse. A lot of people fail the first year because it's rather tough and they generally pass the repeat year. :thumbs:

You're still young. Repeat the year and stay in Nursing. It might seem like a big deal now but trust me, you'll be ok. Just stick with it.

[Princess]

Thanks guys! Was talking to my dad for about forever there. I'm going to appeal on grounds of family **** this year and good attendance and the fact that I passed all my other exams. If that doesn't work,well I'll figure it out later

Thank you,I need it! :hugesmile:

[Lewis.]

Gaah geddon.. Who cares about nursing! Give up and become a fully fledged proffesional Take That roadie :P

But naah.. I don't know much about it but what the others are saying, about going back and repeating, sounds like good advice :P x

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

Sorry to hear that Laura, Don't give up though,.

.
Good Luck

[Sophii3x]

Aw hunny, I'm soo sorry to hear that *hugs*. As others have said here.. if your heart is set on Nursing just keep trying and I'm sure you'll succeed. Good luck with whatever you chose to do :) x

[BigSister]

Aww im sorry to hear that laura. Is there not another uni near you could attend or can you do the year again?
Good luck on the appeal as well*crosses fingers*

What stupid advice. Why not?

Just appeal and if that doesn't work, i'd try again, take none of r2-d2's nonsense advice.

[Princess]

So I had a meeting with my dad and my personal tutor today and told him all the crap that has happened this year. He said I had a pretty good chance of appeal. Best case screaniro is that I have to repeat the subject I failed in October,probably have to do yet another assignment! And if I pass that I can just go straight to 2nd year so I'm really really hoping thats what happens! I CANNOT cope with anything else.

[Z]

That's good Laura!! Seriously the best of luck to you, I think you'd make an incredible nurse, I really hope you get into 2nd year! x

[Lauren]

Keep at it Laura. You have great grounds of appeal and I am sure it'll work out for you. Don't get disillusioned - Uni has a good way of doing that to you but you'll find your passion for the subject comes back soon enough and will get you through!! x

[Princess]

NOT HAPPY! They decided that I should go 'off books',repeat the subject I failed and do 2nd year in a year. So basically I'm wasting a ****ing year of my life on 5 percent! ARGH

[Lauren]

Can you not appeal their decision? It may require meeting a board of people, but if you explain that you're very able to do the failed module along with 2nd year they may rethink!

[Princess]

I can appeal again,with a high appeal but I don't know it'd do much good. I don't really remember much of what they asked me today because I was so stressed.

[Lauren]

I think it's worth a go Laura. You don't want to regret not appealing higher, and always wondering what would've been if you appealed. See how far it gets you, and THEN consider a next step xxx

[Princess]

Yeah I'll see how it goes,I think my dad is ringing about it tomorrow. Thanks Loz xx
