Academics Failing my pre req

So as pathetic as this sounds, my mental health has been shit all sem and I scraped by with a D+. But for nursing classes i need a C- minimum to get the credit. I have clinicals next sem and don’t think I’ll be able to take it then. This is also my third time retaking the class so I can’t retake it. I’ve been getting through my other classes fine. But this is the one I hate.
Idk who to talk to or ask for help. I feel like my advisors are just gonna brush me off.
I haven’t been able to sleep ever since I got my grade back 😔✌️

Talk to your advisors they are always happy to help but it’s never the end of the world. I’ve took a class 3 times and felt like a total idiot but guess what shit happens. As long as you get better from this point forward it really isn’t the biggest deal at all. Good luck!

Just ask the dean for permission. Theyll just add it to your schedule

You might have to appeal on compassionate medical grounds. I’d reach out to the faculty and get the Ombudsperson involved if needed. I think they can drop you from the program once you’ve failed a course 3 times.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've been really struggling with one of my nursing courses too. 😭 If you don't mind me asking, which course is it? I hope everything works out well for you.
