  • In this video I detail my struggles with college. I share my christian upbringing, straying from the church, taking a path toward destruction, and eventually being drawn back in. This led to my biggest and most illogical successes that can only be attributed to faith. I pray that this video blesses you and gives you the uplift that you need to face your current battles!

    Today, I failed the last semester of my nursing school final exam by 3 points so I won't be graduating. I felt so devastated. I believe that God has a bigger plan for me.

    Thanks for sharing xo. I failed in school my first semester when I when to university. My mother verbally abused me so much that I wanted to commit suicide. Even when I tried going back in the spring to community college I was so depressed that I failed again and then that fall I went to another private school and ended up having to come home because it was too expensive after one semester. I stayed home for a year and half working then I went back to community college to do my prerequisite for nursing. She would call me brain dead and stupid but I kept progressing. At one point I was ready to transfer and I wanted to apply for a full scholarship and I needed her tax information to show that I wasn’t financially able to pay on my own and she wouldn’t give it to me and I had to stop the whole application process. I was devastated. But then God showed me another full scholarship that I could apply to and I did and I got it! So many people were telling me about only having 3% chance of getting it but I knew God had other plans. Even when I was in nursing school my mom or dad never called to ask me about the tuition even though they knew there was a monthly fee of $699. They didn’t even ask how I was able to eat or afford to take uber every day to school and clinical and it hurts me so bad. I’m so happy that I graduated in June from nursing school and that my dad was very proud of me. My mom wasn’t happy and it hurts. She was saying how it took me so many years to finish school and that I’m not the only person that graduated from nursing school. She was also mad about me leaving for vacation the night of graduation but I wanted to reward myself for completing nursing school. I’m currently studying for my nclex and I’ll be taking it next month. I feel so blessed despite what I’ve been through. I’ll continue to succeed, God willing.

    • @ByTheShepards
      @ByTheShepards  4 года назад +21

      Wow. I’m so sorry you had to endure all of that but I could jump for joy at hearing you still made it out successfully! God is so good! I wish you the best with your NCLEX and I pray you’re seeking mental health help. It sounds so clear to me that your mother’s treatment toward you is displaced & has more to do with her life experiences than her relationship with you. I pray that she also seeks the help she needs & gets the healing I know God can provide. But for now...focus on killing those boards sister!

      Sorry that happened to you. Sometimes parents have the high expectations of theirs that they want you to meet. However, it is your journey and you don't have to have the same path as everybody. I am 50 and I am getting all of the motivation from these young nurses about the good bad and the ugly. I am so tired of people talking about they made it. What if they didn't make It? What is NEXT is the real testimony. It is not going to be easy for me. I need to know what to do if I did fail, if I did get kicked out. Thank you ladies for sharing. I am going to nursing school. I am a CNA and I have to level up. Thank you Father God for advance help.in Jesus Name

    • @sheaNERD
      @sheaNERD 4 года назад +5

      Gloria Dorrough yes I understand but sometimes those expectations are unrealistic and very toxic to the point where if they were faced with those same expectations they would likely fail too. If you fail don’t give up!!! I failed school 3 times (even at the private school my grades were terrible because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to come back)..I just kept on praying and adjusting my studying/sleeping/learning habits. I had to change everything even my mindset. If you fail don’t stay down for too long. Just think of your next move like transferring to another nursing program or retaking that class again. If you want something so bad you will never let it get to a point where you will be in danger of failing. My scholarship depended upon me passing every single class and I knew that my mother and everybody would abuse me and laugh if I didn’t pass. I also knew that I wouldn’t be able to depend on her or anyone for anything because they didn’t even ask about my tuition bill etc. also, don’t feel like you’re too old to be in school you can do it!

I had a little bit of a breakdown lol I was asking God to give me a sign that I COULD get through this and pursue my nursing career because I felt as if I was not intelligent enough. Then Your video pops up. I didn’t search anything, it was just right there in the main screen. God works in mysterious ways and I truly believe his message was sent through you.

      Hey Julianna, my name is Larah and I'm a new RN, and my journey to nursing school took me 6+ years and I questioned if nursing was for me. I created a RUclips channel where I talk about nursing...the most recent video I created talks about why we should never give up on our nursing dreams. Check it out and reach out if you need any encouragement: ruclips.net/video/4B1oU8hlYws/видео.html

    This is incredibly encouraging! Last year, when I was 17, I attempted a CNA program at my high school but my teacher was incredibly mean and discriminatory (I have autism) so I ended up failing a midterm skills test. However, when I attempted the program for a second time, I ended up passing, even though I passed the skills test by the slightest margins. I took my state board (1st attempt) last week and passed the academic portion with an 83 (I needed a 75) and think I can eventually pass the skills portion. I am incredibly fortunate to have known God my whole life and due to all my struggles as a person with autism, I haven’t strayed very far. God bless you!

    I just failed my first semester of nursing school by .10 of a point... I met with the head of the department and she wouldn't budge with rounding my grade. I worked so hard and did everything I could to pass but in the end, it wasn't enough. Towards the middle of the course I got very close with God and the church, I know he is on my side and that this happened for a reason... I'm not sure what the reason is but it's part of his plan. Thanks for sharing your testimony, now I don't feel so alone. All of my classmates and friends moved on without me and it's a bit discouraging but I know the Lord is on my side! Happy holidays to you and congrats on all of your success! :)

      I’m a nursing professor. It seems cruel to students, but your instructors have to set very clear standards for success in nursing coursework. When you do graduate, you’ll understand how important nurses and how much you must know to keep your patients safe. Your instructors are responsible for graduating only students who are ready to take state boards (NCLEX) and who are most likely to take intelligent safe care of vulnerable patients. That’s our job responsibility. Think about whether you’d like to be taken care of by a nurse who argued their way through passing a course when they hadn’t achieved the standards. It’s frustrating and depressing, but you’ll make it. Take the opportunity of repeating a course to learn everything you can about that course material. Learning is never useless.

    I’m a CNA working night shift on lunch break. I failed nursing school as well, & I’m so happy I came across this video. The program that i failed out of was a BSN program and I applied for this fall to a Associates nursing program. I got waitlisted and have been so heartbroken because it feels like another failure in my life. I feel embarrassed to face family members (aunts,uncles,cousins) because I don’t want them asking me when do I graduate. I had one semester left of school when I failed out. This video gives me the motivation I need to keep pursuing my dreams and God.

    Thank you so much for this video! I just failed my first nursing semester by 1 point. I got a 73 and needed a 74. I've been crying today and feeling depressed, praying to God for His strength and His grace.
    I was like you, I grew up in the church, but for me I turned away from the church and God at 15. I became a Pagan and fast forward more than 10 years later as of over the summer someone I know found God herself. From her I started to see how she changed, no sooner than that I was driving one day out of state and looking for a station to play and I happened to turn into KLove radio and I started to listen to them. It was like God was slowly reaching out to me like a frightened lamb, now that I finally was starting to acknowledge him after so many years.
    I then bought my own Bible and started reading it a few months ago. It's been only several months since Jesus as the shepherd found and brought back his lost sheep, but every day I've been feeling closer and closer to him.
    Today I prayed for his strength as I failed my first semester in nursing school and to give me a sign on what to do. I happened to open up RUclips as I cried and was watching another video when after it ended, your video showed up. It wasn't the only sign as I logged into FB the fb page She Rises just posted "There isn't a single storm or season that we endure that isn't meant to mold us, shape us, and make us stronger than we ever thought we could be."
    That message and your message and you sharing your experience with nursing school and God, is Gods message to me. No sooner than after I saw both, my nursing prof emailed me to call her and strongly told me to do the appeal to retake the course which I will be doing. So I just wanted to say thank you very much for this video! It gives me hope and strength. ❤

    God is so good all the time! Thank you for sharing your testimony. It really hit home for me. My sophomore year of nursing school I failed a class and discovered I would be a year behind. I did not want to stay at the same nursing program because I was so ashamed.. I ended up applying to multiple schools, but it’s tough transferring nursing credits. My top school had said that their nursing program was full for the year and I would have to apply the following year. My mother and I constantly prayed and I gave all of my worry to God. A week later I get a call from the dean of the program that a spot had opened up! I ended up getting in and continuing on with my passion. I am now going into my Junior year of school and I owe it all to Jesus💕

    Thank You …I needed this I recently started back nursing school from failing out a class. I felt ashamed, hopeless and just like it wasn't meant for me to be a nurse. But inside I felt different I felt like this is my calling and this is my dream, during the time I sat out I became closer to god, I was in my younger days and just got lost growing up...….. I recently started back in October and I can say I feel all the stress lifted off of me knowing that god is guiding my steps and directions.... But to hear the same situation from another person and to see they made it put a smile on my face to know it possible and he do work miracles when you believe and obey him.........

I failed pharmacology for the first time last semester by 2 points. I was devastated. Felt like I was too old for school again or maybe just wasn’t intelligent enough since I was an older student so I prayed. Like they say, “don’t let your praying knees get lazy and pray like crazy”. I was allowed to repeat it. Now I have very tough classes this semester including pharm as well as clinicals. It’s going to be very tough but your video gives me inspiration. Crossing fingers for graduating.

    Thank you for sharing your testimony I feel the same way. I would go to church every day we had service, sang in the choir, but begging a summer job my shift would not let me be able to attend church and fell back. Then nursing school started, I told God I'm going to try my best and go to church manage, work, and school. But what hurts me is that I fell back on God majorly would only go to church on Sunday's and felt like an obligation didn't feel the joy of going like I used to. I just failed my first semester of nursing my final grade had to be an 80 and got a 78, just 2 pts away, but seeing this gives me so much hope and feel determined to keep going regardless. I felt like a failure.. but thank you , I will keep pushing into I have my dream.

  •  4 года назад +7

    Love!! Thanks girl ❤️ I’m in nursing school now and it’s my 2nd bachelors. In the beginning of nursing school I was in my books and my bible only , but now it’s more books and gospel music in the car rides to and from. I definitely need to find that balance again because so is getting hard.

I had to go through the same thing to get a testimony of my own and see for myself what it’s like to have my own personal relationship with God. It was hard going through it but I’m glad it happened sooner than later. I just graduated nursing school a month ago, now I’m studying for NCLEX with a L&D job offer lined up! God is so awesome and merciful! It was so nice hearing your testimony and I wish you nothing but continue success! ❤️

I’m waiting to hear back from a nursing program to know if I got in. 6 months ago when I was contemplating applying to this school, God had told me that I was already getting in. No way am I thinking I’m better than I am but I feel it in me that I’ve already been granted entrance. God is so good. I know nursing school will be a challenge but I can already see that light at the end of the tunnel because I serve such a faithful God. Thank you for your testimony! So inspiring ❤️

    I really needed to hear this, thank you!!
    In my situation, I applied to a nursing program last year and didn’t get accepted. This year I applied and got accepted! I felt so proud and happy to have gotten in. However, my parents weren’t so excited about it. All I received from them was that they are happy for me, but no hug, no excitement, nothing. It made me feel like I failed them. after feeling useless for not being accepted last year, then getting accepted and now having my parents not show how proud they are of me, really breaks me. I guess I asked for all of this, but the reason they act this way is because back in the day, in moments of anger, i would say I can’t wait to move out of this house. And being accepted into a nursing program two hours away from home, means I have to move out of the house. Now I have to leave all the many responsibilities that I have at home. I want them to understand the struggle it has been for me to get in, and that I need to start my career. I have pushed many things aside to help them and my younger siblings. It’s my turn. I’m Catholic, and lately I’ve been thanking God for all he has done for me. All there is to do is to thank him and for accepting me for who I am. I just hope my parents can appreciate me, just like God does.
    I start nursing school this summer!!

    • @ByTheShepards

      I’m so happy for you. And trust, the testimony you just shared helped someone else! It sounds like you come from a family oriented home in which your contributions have been valued over the years, maybe they don’t know how to express the excitement for this particular moment aloud? Sometimes it’s also a big pill to swallow when a major change occurs but you’re not doing anything wrong. You can’t remain stagnant. Chase your dreams girl! I’m willing to bet everything that they are actually proud, they may just be sad to see you go. But they’ll adjust! Don’t let it hold you back from dancing with joy over your blessing!

I put the whole story on my channel but I needed to hear your story. So thank you, I know it’s not over until God says so!
