Five Easy Ways To Flunk Out Of Nursing School

Five Easy Ways To Flunk Out Of Nursing School

Once you get into nursing school, be prepared for a grueling one year (for Licensed Practical Nursing or LPN) to four years (for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree). If you want an effective way of ensuring that you won't ever be successful at nursing school, these five tips can help you.

1. Don't plan in advance for childcare and any child-related emergencies that may happen.

Children may fall ill and need someone to stay home with them; kids need help at night with their homework, children need to go to school and be picked up from school... even if you have a 12-hour clinical planned. But don't line up friends and family who can give you emergency backup care for your kids. If it's ok with you to fail classes or get booted out of nursing school, then don't plan with foresight.

2. Don't prepare for financial emergencies as well.

Everybody has them; it's always something. A car that breaks down and needs expensive repairs, a leaky roof, unexpected medical bills, and others. And when you're in nursing school, it's impossible for you to work full time. By not preparing for sources of emergency cash, you'll be forced to devote more time for work and less time for studies -- a sure way to flunk nursing school.

3. Study like a typical high school student or college student.

If you partied first, then studied later when you were in high school, there's no need to change things now. Even if nursing school training and courses are more rigorous, studying can wait for later. Chug coffee, do some late night cramming sessions to memorize those hundreds of pages of test material for the exam the next day... there's certainly no harm in that, is there?

4. Go into nursing school without first knowing what you're getting into.

As long as you're sure that it pays well and is a stable career, you don't need bother finding out if it's right for you. You'll find out soon enough that nursing school is a combination of rigorous training, stress, heavy responsibilities, and yes, body fluids too. Should that be the time then to ponder if you're in the suitable career?

5. Do a juggling act of work and school.

Pay no heed to those who say you can't work full time and study nursing full time as well. They're probably just a bunch of ninnies. Sleep's over-rated, right? And how much coursework could there really be in nursing school?

Follow the above tips and you'll have earned yourself an express ticket out of nursing school. OR - you could do the complete opposite of everything we just suggested, and have a MUCH smoother ride.
