Thanks so much for watching & supporting, please keep the comments respectful as this is something really hard for me to talk about right now. I do hope to pick up where I left off, & I appreciate all of the love and support along the way ❤

[@chrisantadelao]

Madison I will be here for all the target hauls and buffalo wings eating-in-the-car 😂 I’m sorry that this is your situation, I can’t imagine how you feel but I know you will find a way. There is always a solution to a problem and I think you’re doing the right thing by taking this time to just be a mom and be with your babies. Keep doing what you’re doing- take care of yourself, take care of your family and you will find a way when it’s time. The time with your kids you’ll never get back, but a career will ALWAYS be there ❤ Stay strong girl.

Facts!!!!

[@amandabland7775]

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Some of the technicalities they come up with are ridiculous. A girl in my cohort failed out of the whole program (three classes and a clinical at the time) for missing a math question on an exam. Automatic dismissal from the whole program which dropped her GPA like a rock and made her ineligible to reapply. I have 29 days left for my LPN after starting towards the RN program almost 9 years ago (partially my own doing, moved 98 miles away from my school so couldn’t afford to drive for the last two semesters, family stuff, yada yada) with the intent to bridge to RN. But I’m struggling like no other to finish the last 30 days, let alone the desire and drive to start over again. All you hear about is the nursing shortage and nursing burnout rate, but the powers that be are the ones causing most of it.

[@madisonmarsingill]

I totally agree! Thank you so much for your comment and I wish you the best on your journey as well ❤

Nursing school was the hardest thing I've ever done! I'm so sorry it's been a rough experience for you! Keep your head up and if it's really what you want to do then don't give up! You will make a great nurse one day!

[@laurenjones825]

Literally my worst fear with nursing school. I am soooo sorry. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. When the time is right, it’ll all work out.

[@madisonmarsingill]

Thank you!!

[@ashleystadden505]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Nursing is my passion but nursing school makes me feel so burnt out. I feel like programs don't even care about getting more nurses out there, they just want to make more money. Nursing school is so toxic.

Madi, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and just know this is the hardest program .. just remember a DELAY is not a DENIAL. That’s what we are in school for to learn, and just like myself, it’s not always the first go around. This is our unique journey and all that has happened is just your testimony in the end. Take your time. Enjoy your kids and just know that you have time. Don’t give up. This wasn’t all for nothing. You Matter!!❤️🙌🏽🫶🏽

[@abbyelenaa]

I cannot imagine what you are feeling! I was in nursing school for just one semester and literally got As in all classes and clinicals. Took the exit hesi exam and did not make a 900 so I could not move onto the next semester. It was so painful. Unsure if I will ever go back since that was two years ago! It should not be that difficult when you are doing so good in the classes! Focus on you and your children right now!! That’s the most important thing!! ❤❤❤ do not let this get you down!

[@carlaG007]

I feel you on this situation. I went through hell and back to finish nursing school. I was in a similar situation AND of course I got pregnant towards the end due to stress birth control lagged on me 😅 just know you’re not alone in this and we don’t mind the lifestyle vlogs no need to worry about school at the moment focus on you and your babies!

[@madisonmarsingill]

Thank you!!

[@Shelbydee3030]

I knew something was up with your journey. I figured you would talk about it when you were ready or not at all. I’m happy you feel good enough to share. I failed my schooling 2 times and passed on the 3rd time and I’ve never been happier. Things very much so happen for a reason. You are so young, and I know it doesn’t feel like it but for you to focus on your children when they are so small is so important! There will be a lot of time to figure out your life and your husband is so supportive! We are here for you girl! Keep your head up 😊

[@madisonmarsingill]

Thank you so much! 🥹

[@katelynmackenzie9815]

Wow that is awful! In my LPN program we used ATI too and also did the predictor test. It’s shocking that so many nursing schools require so many things to pass!! I didn’t do the greatest on my predictor. Anyways, fast forward to the day I took NCLEX. I took it once and passed with 75 minimal questions. ATI is SOOO much harder than the actual boards! Never give up! You are almost there🎉

[@katelynmackenzie9815]

And in real life if you don’t pass NCLEX, you just pay to retake it! I dislike how nursing school is so much different to real life scenarios. It’s all about the school creditation and money

[@madisonmarsingill]

Yes it is so sad that's it's not even about the students! Thank you for your comment ❤

[@mistybaker27]

Almost the same thing happened to me I made it to the last semester and I failed by 1%. I know exactly how you feel it's very upsetting.

[@ciarasimmons4670]

Hi Madison I’m so sorry that happened to you. I understand how hard nursing school is I went to lpn school and have been an lpn since February I truly love it. I will be bridging next fall to my RN which will only be 12 months I have a new baby boy and I’m already worried how hard it will be.But I know in the end it’s all worth It.If nursing is your true passion keep going don’t give up.I failed my comprehension exam for lpn school had to retake the exit exam TWICE and I passed nclex first try!That test doesn’t determine how smart we are or what kind of nurse we will be.I wish you all the luck I love watching your vlogs.

[@kmcneal6206]

Don't give up Madison. It took me almost 20 years to complete my RN. Being a wife and a mother is hard especially while going through nursing school. Your babies are only babies for a little while, so enjoy this time and when you are ready you can make a decision about your next step. I wish you the best!

[@nursebrown1256]

I know exactly how you feel! I didn’t pass the comprehensive predictor the first time around which dropped my grade from a 85 to a 75 & in my nursing school the passing grade was a 77 so I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t make it & I cried for daysssss 😢 Then I took it over the second time around & pass with a 97% and I am still shaken by the experience. I still can’t I was able to graduate but I will never look at nursing school the same again.

[@Christina-cs4zu]

I'll definitely continue to follow. I truly believe you're gonna be a nurse one-day. It's hard to be the wonderful Mama, wife, and woman in general much less to go for one of the toughest credentials. God bless you, Madi. This too shall pass. It wasn't all for nothing. Prayers. ❤️

[@amberfuller9550]

I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you. Your mental health and the health of your baby is top priority. If it means anything, I do appreciate the target and hobby lobby hauls since I’m planning on moving next summer. Your videos are so therapeutic and peaceful to me, especially when I’m fed up with nursing school! Keep doing you boo and everything will work out. This is only a test in preparation for your testimony 🤍

[@sarahb8686]

I hate that this is what you’re going through because I know how much is invested in nursing school and especially when you have a family that you are taking time away from to do it. You are so strong and I’m so proud of you for deciding what’s best for your mental health and family at this time in your life. Also, Target is LIIIFEEE!!! I am always here for all of the hauls!!! Keep being you Sister!!!

I know this was hard for you to share, but thank you so much for sharing because your situation happens a lot to people in nursing school. It isn't fair how that happened to you, nursing school policy can be so ridiculous. Everything will turn out for the best 🙏 I'm here for it all! I am in my first semester and I am STRUGGLING as a single mom and I don't know how I will make it. Kinda wish I would have went to grad school for anthropology instead.. I thought I would do well like I did for medical assisting, but it's sooo different..🙃

Nursing school was the hardest. Keep trying even if you have to take more classes. It's worth it in the end.

[@sharleentom5085]

Hi Madison, I just want you to know that I am so proud of you for everything that you have accomplished thus far. I know the Nursing community is hard because of the rules they go by. But for the time being stay strong and make your time with your babies the best time for them. When the time is right you will know when you need to go back. You are a strong young woman and a very smart one too. Just take your time and enjoy your life with your family. You have so much support around you and that's what you need. I will keep you in my prayers and I believe things will work out for you. Keep making videos and don't let what is said get to you. You have to keep you happy and that's what matters. Sending love and prayers. ❤

[@Bre-Bre]

there is nothing that tells me that the subject matter was that pressing no matter whether your a nurse or not, your family is the first thing that comes to mind when i think about you. nursing is a career choice and if its meant for you then it will come around in its own time. theres nothing that can take away these precious moments with your family. love on these beautiful babies and everything else will fall into place. we are here for whatever content you produce. find your center and find tour peace thats the most important thing you can do. everything will fall into place no matter what you do.

[@kates8841]

I like target too but not one near where I live unfortunately. I usually go to Walmart bc it’s closer. 😊

[@madisonmarsingill]

Yes, for all of our life until we got our apartment we have always been over an hour away so trying to soak in my last trips before I can't go as often lol

[@Aleena8700]

Just to put it out there... I have had my ups and down in nursing school and at the end of the day I chose to not finish due to personal reasons. I truly feel things that don't work out are not meant to be. I completely understand why this is hard to talk about, I feel very similar to how your feeling. Never forget that your worth is not valued on your body of work or status. Your are wonderful, strong and beautiful. The time spent is just experience, I'm a long time subscriber and I'll continue to watch and support you! Hugs and a thank you for sharing ♡♡♡

Wow….Can’t believe that happened to you. Might be a blessing in disguise. Graduated last year and nursing sucks right now. Hospitals don’t appreciate their staff and put patients and staff at risk.

[@leigh7570]

Have you looked to see if they’ll let you sit for the NCLEX for LPN?

[@madisonmarsingill]

I was told that I should go the LPN route and bridge back to finish my last class, but I would have to complete all of the LPN clinicals, and 3 additional semesters of classes since the LPN ones are different 🙃

[@naegordon5891]

@@madisonmarsingill with my nursing school program, the LPNs and RNs start together but when the 3rd semster come the LPNs can sit for the Ncxlex and RNs continue. I always thought they started together, that’s crazy. I pray you can continue your journey. I love watching your videos.

[@kimdelk1181]

Nursing is not the end all be all and I’m a nurse😂. U work so hard n reality hits u hard when u enter the field. Nursing in general is a humbling experience just like school. However if u really want it take a break n come back when ur ready. If u r done with it that’s okay many nurses don’t even use their degrees😂.

[@lindsayblalock1197]

So sorry!! That is seriously awful. I would consider looking into other schools and other programs to transfer to. I wouldn’t do the LPN and then bridge. That would be so much more work I think. At our school, our pre reqs can be 5 years old. I would definitely look at other schools. You got this girl.

[@jeannastamatis2573]

Fellow RN here. I’m sorry you are going through this but I think you should not give up on this. You worked too hard! Keep talking to the Dean and I would seek legal advice. I just believe there is a way around this. Please don’t give up.

Sucks that you kept being hounded to make this video.. it was obvious it was a touchy subject since you weren’t addressing it.

[@lela0922]

I'm sorry Madison. They robbed you from your money and your time. I went to nursing school for my lpn this past winter and spring. I had alot of drama with family life and I failed with a 79.6 where I needed an 80 to pass. I'm 47 my back and feel hurt I'm so stiff and I often wonder if I should finish or has life passed me by? Hugs 🫂

[@rachelmiller2725]

Thank you for the explanation ❤️ I can tell how hard that was. Do what you need to do for your mental health. If I was in your shoes, I would fight by any means necessary to get your license, and then you can always go back later in life or do PRN work... like in the OR where you originally loved to be. But no matter what, the nursing skills you have will make you a better mom. You now have a great medical background. Patience. Interpersonal skills. Peds training. CPR certifications. Nursing school will never be an absolute waste for these reasons. 🫶🏻 Can your KZbin following help your situation at all? I'm sure the nursing school will listen to 11k people
