Almost Failing Out Of Nursing School| Story Time

[@CALI_BOY_VLOGS]

I FAILED out nursing school last year. Now i graduate in 8 weeks

[@lilygarza3355]

I NEEDED THIS!!! We literally have the same curriculum at my university. That 75% exam average is killer!!!! I'm in my 3rd semester out of 5 semesters total. I have come close to failing each semester... The hurdles that we face in our personal lives are what makes nursing school so hard in my opinion. Nursing school doesn't care that you just got a divorce, cannot afford rent, have death in the family... Just gotta wipe the tears and keep going.... I guess I have seemed to pull through when it matters at the VERY end of each semester considering the fact that I haven't failed yet. But I cannot help but compare myself to my friends who get all As in their classes.... Thank you for taking the time to post this.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Totally agree. I'm glad you liked the video!

[@whitneyburns7405]

I love this and needed to see this because I am a mess right now! Thanks for sharing

[@ishotthemoon30]

I’m in my 3rd semester too! My school also has below 75 as failing. I agree with what you said. This semester is actually the toughest for me due to life events. I kept telling myself I wish I only had to worry about nursing school and nothing else.

[@nataliedeyton6829]

We must get 80% for all exams

[@starflower250]

In my school, it’s 80% and it’s awful! Very hard to get

[@Reb0rnArtist]

Nursing school is definitely rough. I just graduated in May, passed my NCLEX in July. Best of luck to everyone currently in nursing school, work hard but make time for yourself too.

[@jamesbuckner6980]

I failed my first first exam with a 66 and I am in beast mode. Great video and thank you for the motivation. This is a different beast for me. 1st month in nursing school down.

[@radicalbarrel2729]

James Buckner get that shit

[@danodeny7561]

this hits different. i failed my fist fundamentals and pharmacology exams in level one at 62 and 68 percent respectively. I felt absolutely useless and thought i would for certain drop out if I didn't make the average 75 average for both. I remember watching this video a few hours later and glad to say i passed the semester. Thank you Kaynen, you really helped me out. I appreciate this.

[@ignent2]

Wow I would have never guessed you had trouble in nursing school. You are so smart and well spoken! If it makes you feel better I didn’t do too well in maternity either. Maternity and pharm were my only Cs in nursing school. But I just found out that I passed my NCLEX in 75 yesterday. Now I’m hoping to land in the ER as a new grad like you did! Thanks for sharing and all of your videos. They have helped keep me motivated through out nursing school!

[@solmarymedina3546]

Wow I would've never known how you felt and what you've been through in nursing school because you are one of the smartest people in KZbin lol and you know your stuff! It's true what they say..."You are not your grades!" Thank you for sharing!!

[@AmandaAnderson-yb8yd]

I start nursing school this January and I’ve been extremely nervous so this helps me a lot! Just to see that it is okay to have alittle bit of doubt and fear as long as I keep trying.

[@solmarymedina3546]

Amanda Anderson Good luck! Just remember you are not gonna be the only one in your class who is going to feel this way--even your nursing instructors felt the same way when they started nursing school. You are all in the same "boat".

[@thechristiandiariespodcast]

Good luck girly 💖💖💖

[@RayBoomBoomRoom]

Dude this the best video out of all of them! It shows who you are as a person.

[@yeranishunor4854]

Thank you so much for being so transparent. I have so much respect for you. I've heard that nursing school really humbles you

[@Aesthetics.Torres]

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Keep that good perspective and be persistent people. Thanks so much for sharing Kaynen! ♻️👍

[@kaynenbrown5102]

NurseWeekly Agreed, thank you man!!

[@thelmar.9972]

Thank you for sharing your story with us! It's encouraging and it reminds us that even though nursing school is difficult; it isn't impossible. :)

[@annamusenga3163]

Wow! I would have never guessed! I’m 3 weeks in and going through that doubt stage already! This is giving me hope! Thanks for sharing!

[@Miguel.R.A]

Found your videos when I failed my TEAS I’m finally retaking it. You’re a great person brother, appreciate this very much. Much Needed right now.

[@keilaelizabeth6111]

This was so encouraging. I’m a second semester nursing student now and sometimes I do think about whether I’ll be as good a nurse as I want to be. Especially when you see all these amazing nurses in hospitals who have such a flow. Our curriculum is you have to have an 80 or higher to pass and so you can imagine the nights one end that I stay up but it’s so refreshing and inspiring to see someone who is so so smart and such a good nurse, once felt the same way I do. Thank you for this video, I needed this.

[@shaylynmarie9572]

I'm in my first semester of Nursing School in the middle of COVID, and I'm currently not passing. I literally need an 84% on everything and it is so hard to not doubt yourself. I wish everyone luck !

[@gabzz72]

I just started and the anxiety is so real. Every step of the way you realize you could really mess things up

[@OhDatsJaVion]

Everything you’re going and went threw is what I’ve been through in Mechanical Engineering school!! and now I’m proud to say that I will be graduating May of 2019 🙌🏿🙌🏿👨🏿‍🎓

[@mindmeld3638]

Humble...Admirable

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Richard Witter ❤️

[@indigosoulvibe8647]

Needed this! I bombed health assessment/fundamentals- my new Dean was my professor.. 😢😂 Just spoke with the assistant dean & he has taught me for micro and anatomy 2. He knows me better and just talked me through the process…yeah, the “paper” and academic probation stigma…it definitely makes you want to get your “Rocky” on!! Now, I have to wait to do clinicals😮..and graduation is pushed. Like you said- it’s the showing up and pushing through…I’m back up! It’s accelerated- so, I have to wrap up finals with all I got! Thanks, so much- I know the feels now!!💪🏼🧠🫵🏼✨🪄☺️💎🫶🏼👌🏼🕊️✨💫✨

[@laonabenda2135]

This is a perfect reminder to keep going, to keep trying and sometimes we need a grade or such to be the swift kick we need and that self talk is so, so, so powerful and if we allow it to be negative so will our results. Thank you sharing this personal story and reminding me to stay positive. Current semester is Med-surg paired with Pharm (we have pharm as a 1 semester class)

[@plutobaby9996]

Be humble, you may think you know it all but in reality you don’t know as much as you think you do, take everything one day at a time and count your blessings

[@FreeCurlz93]

You’re Currently my nursing school twin. Everything you have said and felt has been everything I’ve experienced for myself unfortunately. I’m in my 2nd semester that I will repeat😞 but I’m now associating those who can help me study better and not set just low standards to pass n get too comfortable. Nursing school doesn’t care and will pull the rug from underneath you. You have made me feel not alone. Very inspirational to succeed like you ! Thanks

[@MusicismyEscape99]

Thanks again for the awesome insight Kaynen. I started watching your videos as I was applying into Nursing school, and now I'm half way done with the program. These videos help me stay positive even when things get tough.

[@TheMusicluvr789]

I just finished my OB course and took my last test yesterday! It was nuts, but I survived. I now have to prepare myself for renal, which I'm constantly being told that it's pretty tough. It's awesome to hear a story like yours because nursing school definitely has its ups and downs, and you turned out just fine

[@nichelle6544]

Thank you so much for making this video, it means a lot!. Goes to show, that when it's God's Will for your life, nothing can stand in your way. Mr. Brown your videos are a huge blessing. Thank you for taking the time to make them and for keeping it real. May God continue to bless you in all you put your hand to.

[@xxrosaxx1000]

The grading is crazy in nursing school ! My school requires a 77% or higher on an overall grade as well as exam grades. Also two attempts as well! A 94 is an A & a 93 is a B 😫 it’s so crazy, but... I am currently in my senior year and ready to get this year over with !!!

[@tiffanyb1606]

Rosa yea my school we need at least an 80

[@russelalmanzor4056]

this is so motivating. it's really upsetting when people feel devastated after an exam. at my college, one student committed suicide; one factor that may have been a cause was that he was failing a semester in the nursing school :/

[@katherinesacdalan5998]

I need this right now. I am in 3rd term and encountering a lot of self doubting. I am doing good so far, but this program is really scary. I never feel this when I was taking general ed and pre req. This is definitely different level of studying. I can relate when you said hitting ego! When I first failed my exam, i self doubt if I am smart enough to be in this program. It was depressing feeling, but I've done a intrapersonal communication. I told myself I have the heart and it is my passion to help people in health care population, to able to do this is to find a way to boost my grade and understanding about nursing program. Anyway, Thank you for sharing your personal story. This is inspiring video.

[@alyssavictoria7645]

and here you are getting into PA school!!!! so cool

[@avareemama]

I just came back from 60.99 to 76.08 passing OB. I won't play anymore, April graduation!!

[@3M13s]

ACCEPTED INTO PA SCHOOL!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW MAN!!

[@MA-rc2eo]

Please create a video about the HESI and Critical thinking part.

[@Gonzalezreview]

My school kicked us out if we don’t make it with a 80% test average. No matter what you get in class you need a 80% or higher . The test makes up literally all the overall grade so your overall grade only goes up by 1 point or less so test are EVERYTHING... at least at my school

[@studentnurse8577]

I understand where you are coming from. I am taking my prereques for nursing school and I received a 66 on my A&P test. I am a LPN so I am so depressed right now. I am going to hit the books and keep moving. I am nervous at this time. Thanks for the video.

[@kairascott1716]

I’m so glad you posted this video! It just proved you can get through anything no matter how many times you fail.

[@sprtkes]

I'm so glad you uploaded this, I barley passed my first exam with a score of a 76 and I just took my second exam today.

[@Dbf1339]

I hate that feeling when the information makes sense but doesn't compute when you take the test. I bought a couple books to study a little the summer after I apply

[@soulsearch1234]

It's tough but you just have to study the information and study how questions work. Practice a lot of questions. Google questions on your topic. Use software like Saunders related to your subject. MOST IMPORTANT! Study how YOUR TEACHER creates questions and his or her expectations. Does the teacher create questions based on the lecture? The book? Random questions she got from a book somewhere? Crack the code. Watch KZbin videos on the topic you're studying. Use the ATI book.Cover all possible angles. You have limited time so make sure you study and use your tools based on how your teacher creates questions.

[@bazzingaification]

Dude this video was sooo inspirational. I deff needed to hear this! Thanks so much for your transparency ,vulnerability and humility!! God bless and looking forward to more great content!

[@Juwlz]

I had to leave nursing school and I want to go back so badly. I was doing well but I have a rare genetic health condition that caused a very serious health condition when I was in school, I was trying to stay in nursing school despite this but ended up down to 75lb and had to have a PICC line placed and be put on TPN...at that point I was stuck on a TPN pump for 12 hours a day for years and those lovely PICC lines have a tendency to cause blood infections even though I was obsessively careful with the line. It's been seven years and after at least ten bouts with sepsis and vanco resistant infection, I'm doing a bit better and keep thinking about going back to finish my BSN. There's that doubt that now I'm seven years older and will feel like a loser in a class full of 20 year olds but I also think my experience on the patient side of things taught me a lot. At one point I was sent to the Mayo clinic in Minnesota due to the rare condition I have and I was told be several doctors that I knew more than most of their interns, which was a nice confidence boost in regards to my ability mentally but I still feel I need to get a bit healthier because those hours are no joke and my health can be unpredictable.

[@MrBraceface216]

Thanks for the story, and the transparency🙌🏼

[@alexngo6591]

I really like your last message. Do the work and it will show. I’m starting nursing school this fall for my bsn. I hope I will overcome my hurdles as well

[@ThisIsPatRyan]

I remember I almost failed because of the math dosage calculations. I got a 90% and you needed a 95% or above. Since I failed I had to take the Math Dosage final and if I did not get a 95% or above I would be kicked out the program. This happened during my second semester with Peds and O.B. which I hated and was not doing to great. I remember going to the library with video game soundtracks placing in my ears lol and studying for hours on end and luckily enough I passed everything. Nursing school is a big stress ball.

[@hellojuneau8917]

Aw man I know the exact feeling. I had failed patho first go around in the program. It made me doubt my decision of becoming a nurse but it overall made the best student I could be 👽👏 Grades don't really define you. I think overcoming obstacles of failure truly make you stronger!

[@BamSandle]

Hey kaynen! I was just curious as to how you switched up your study habits to go from a 64% on the first test, to a 94% on the next test? I’m in a similar position and need to turn things around!

[@yoleeisbored]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnnEp36No9mBjas watch this.

[@matthewwise5760]

I really needed this right now

[@fry8471]

Thanks for the motivation bro!

[@87thadbrown]

Wow! your videos are inspirational, but it seem so hard!

[@CALI_BOY_VLOGS]

This is motivating im in 3rd semester sitting at a 73% on exams , need 75% or higher. 2 more exams left next one is this tuesday on endocrine and renal. The info makes sense to me when i read and listen in lecture but lets see if i can apply it application type problems on the exam

[@od7086]

Dre Mitch how’d it go ?

[@selfdevelopmentlab4078]

Thanks for your candor - refreshing! :)

[@miesha.b8740]

This is soooo inspiring, thank you for sharing 😍😍😍

[@kaynenbrown5102]

miesha. b You’re welcome!!:)

[@kraziikiim]

Hearing that you first failed your health assessment test is making me nervous because I have my first exam in that class on Tuesday. I know of 2 other KZbinrs that failed health assessment 😞. I've definitely been trying to study everyday but sometimes it gets so repetitive and almost boring. I guess I need to find some way to switch up my studying. Anyways good video as usual

[@orangesttar8533]

thank you so much I needed this motivation!

[@marissachapman1022]

Thank you for this video!!! I love this!!! 💕

[@juanleonardo3359]

your school is brutal. can’t imagine

[@alstonmiller212]

You have the same story as me man I don’t feel alone

[@Hadrian_S]

We had health assessment my J1 semester as well. We also had the requisite of the final grade and test average to be at least 75%. You're wearing a UT shirt but did you go to UT? I went to Texas State. Well more accurately, I graduate with my BSN from Texas State in 2 weeks.

[@thomas6861]

Great information K.B

[@J_pearce01]

Damn the school I’m at the minimum score you can have is an 80%.

[@alstonmiller212]

It all depends on how the course work being made

[@starflower250]

Yes! We can only get 80% in my school as well!

[@fidavoltaire3971]

Thanks for sharing 💪💪💪

[@noahfarrell7082]

TY dude literally in pre nursing at csn as we speak maybe we'll cross paths in the valley some day, are you planning on leaving the state for PA school or are maybe online?

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Noah Farrell that would be awesome!! There are very little online PA schools if any. PA schools are typically in person, NP schools are almost all online though.

[@minzala916]

Do you have to retake the courses you previously took and passed the first time when you reapply and get accepted?

[@JaVvii3]

Very great video has to be my favorite one out of all of them. It’s so genuine!

[@kaynenbrown5102]

JaVvii3 Thank you so much! You always have something nice to say:)

[@robertstutts8315]

My Nursing school requires an 80% on test and overall grade to pass.....

Redapple Greenapple Good luck in your program! I still have 3 semesters left.

Great vid! I start nursing school in a few days. Btw what Male nursing shoes would you recommend?

[@irenem5934]

Any tips on how to study for the predictor? And what you did to pass it?

[@yselabarrera7695]

You might not see this but what did you fix to do better the second time?

[@eugeniawallace2566]

Was it an accelerated program? Tht just seems so harsh tht if you fail 2 tests u get kicked out. I’m in my junior year of nursing school which is supposed to be the hardest year cause we have maternity peds medsurg and behavioral i have been feeling defeated a bit because everyone around me claims this is the year they weed slacker students. I’m a B+ student but this semester I’ve been starting with B- :/

[@israelcortes6714]

Just wondering y u went the pa route I’ll look through your vids to see ur hx I only ask cause my wife is a pa and she is the reason why I stayed away haha thanks for this video though

[@shahin2324]

Quick question. Can you apply to PA school with nursing bachelor ?

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Shahin O You can apply to medical school and PA school with any bachelors degree of your choosing. Spanish, nursing, math, biology, film..anything. Just take the ore med classes (6-8 courses).

[@shahin2324]

Kaynen Brown, BSN, RN Planing to start my journey soon!🤞🏼 Thank you!

[@tyronnetrice1509]

Just this video gave me anxiety 😂

[@Dbf1339]

I will be finishing my pre reqs next semester I'm not worried about the nursing program being to hard but I'm trying to figure out how long clinicals will be to know how to set up my work schedule far ahead of time. Wondering who could give me that info.

[@alyciabagwell9633]

Wow inspirational! Do ya live in Austin? I want to go to UT nursing (i live in austin) and i'm 29. I'm lookin for a tutor for pharmacology! XD know anyone??

[@andrewruiz6527]

i had a question. What other career can you do after a few years of bursing because im pretty sure it isnt something you would do into old age

[@vanessapecina1413]

Hi Kaynen😊 I am a new subscriber... I am a nursing student berly the first semester going for LVN and I am berly passing my classes😩... btw are you from Texas?🤔

Whats ur GPA, if you don't mind me asking, since ur applying to PA school? I'm also a BSN ER nurse and its been my dream to pursue PA school, but unfortunately I graduated nursing school with a 3.42 and not a 3.5 :/ I've asked around and heard I dont have a good chance due to the competitiveness and low GPA

[@kaynenbrown5102]

ofwgktaxkitty Hey, great question. If you are a nurse you out beat everyone applying in terms of healthcare experience.
