I have spent three years completing a Diploma in Nursing and am just 4 months away from qualifying.
I found out this morning that an assignment I had previously failed (misunderstood the question), and was reassured would pass, has failed again and I am now being asked to leave the course.

I feel so dreadfully awful, I can’t stop crying, I’m wondering why I’m here, what my purpose is. This has been my whole life for years and it is all over. I just don’t understand what to do.

I feel useless, stupid, wondering why God has put me on this Earth and why I’m still here.

I don’t know what I want prayers for, that I stop feeling so low, that God really has some plan for my life, that an appeal goes through and I can continue with my course?
I just feel so lost.
 
Hail Mary…

Amen.

Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen***
 
Can you retake the course or join a different program? I failed a course in my nursing program, too, and took longer to finish than my classmates. That was 15a years ago. Now im a nurse practitioner. I used to work with a great physician who flunked out of med school here in the states, so he went to a different country and got in there.

My point: if you feel called to medicine, you probably have been. Do not give up or feel bad about yourself.

Also, ask St Joseph Cupertino for help on exams. He works wonders. Pray for your patients, your instructors and yourself. All you need to do is pass. The real learning comes when you work with your patients.

I will pray for you, Karoline. Keep us updated, please.

Can you get back in next year? Can you go to another nursing school and finish?

I failed a Law course once and had to retake ALL my exams for that semester, but my family emigrated to Canada during the exact time when I was studying, so when I retook them I failed three! I had to wait a year and retake them and then I was allowed back in. But it was a humiliating event.

I got my degree in the end but hated Law, and became a Franciscan.

Then I got married after 6 years with them!

My life has been like a ping pong ball.

Long story short - God has a plan for you and you are valuable in his eyes.
 
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I am saying many prayers that a window of opportunity will open up for you!
 
Father, I pray for Karoline. Please comfort Karoline during this trying time. Give her the wisdom and courage to know what she has to do to resolve this. Surround her with family, friends, and loved ones who can support and comfort her. I pray that she can make an appeal. I pray that she be given another chance to redeem herself academically. Show Karoline Your wonderful plans for her life, O Lord, and let her know what theses plans are in ways that she will understand. AMEN.
 
Karoline…I just noticed your St Camillus de Lellis quote. He is one of my hero’s too. You’re gonna make it, kiddo. You know St Camillus also had a number of setbacks? You’ll get through. Don’t give up! Were here for you!
 
Praying for you with a very short but meaningful prayer from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

God planned in the fullness of time to restore all things in Christ.

… and my own prayer:

May the Lord show you His Will for your life,
and your Guardian Angel lead you to it.
Amen

:blessyou:

I can retake the course, but would have to start from the very beginning, another 3 year course all over again.

I don’t even know if this is what I’ve been called to do anymore. I have never wanted to do anything else, never even considered doing anything else. I just feel lost and alone.

I can reapply to do the course again but it would have to be at a different University. The problem is also that I was doing the Diploma as I couldn’t afford the Degree (Diploma is fully Government funded), now the Diploma no longer exists and the Degree has tripled in price, so I can’t afford it.

I wish I could believe that there was a plan for my life but I just can’t at the moment.
 
Ahh.

My wife bombed out of nursing school. She was very particular and therefore not fast enough. She had a B+ average, but got a C in one clinical course requiring speed and so she was fired.

She went into teaching instead.
 
Thank you everyone for praying for me. I feel a lot more at peace today, I am still very upset. Still feel lost, not quite believing what has happened.

I just feel like I want a big hug and to hide forever and ever, never to see anyone again.
 
Dear Father, I pray that the meeting at University tomorrow goes well. I pray that I feel your guidance in my life and that I am following the path you have chosen for me. Amen.
 
(((HUGS))) for you Karoline.
I pray God will comfort you and guide you
God bless

Lord please hear our prayers for Karoline and we pray You would comfort her and guide her and we pray she may feel Your love for her.Thankyou Lord for hearing our prayers
Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Father, I ask that you continue to hold Karoline in your loving arms as You continue to guide her in the direction of Your perfect plan.

Father, I thank You for all You have done to guide Karoline to this place in her life and for all You do to strengthen her.

Amen

If you’ve never wanted to do anything else, that’s a good indication you are meant to be a nurse. Or, perhaps a doctor? Karoline, I’ve had a very bumpy road both in my education and in my work life… don’t give up, because bumps like that just push you to where you’re supposed to be.

I see you have a meeting tomorrow. I will be praying for you until you let us know the outcome. Don’t hide, don’t feel beaten. You will get on the right path, even if its slightly different than you originally planned.
