Advice I failed a summer course and I feel terrible

Upvotes

Hello. I just wanted to vent. I know I fucked up. I managed to fail a summer class that my parents spent hard money on. I had two other classes as well during the summer that I'll be able to pass with, but I feel like such a horrible person for failing one of the three. I wish I could withdraw, but I know I'm just gonna have to live with this since I missed the deadline.

I feel like one of my biggest drawbacks for this was the fact that I just became overwhelmed with work, and I just couldn't bounce back as assignments began to pile on, and my performance began to greatly decrease. I'm glad I didn't entirely fail my summer session, but I still feel so awful about what I've done. My parents are hard working people that just want what's best for my future. I just feel like I let them down this time.

I just wanna know if anyone has ever been in this situation before, and if they could offer their own two cents on how they recovered from something like this. Thank you for reading.

Springfield Medical How are you getting the flu shot (influenza) for MEC or nursing programs?

The deadline for the flu shot in the DISA system is due August 1. However it’s likely impossible to meet that deadline after asking my local pharmacy they said as the flu shot doesn’t become available until mid August in most places. I remember in other programs years before the deadline was closer to mid August before class and people could get it super early August before. Was this just an oversight or miscalculated deadline? I remember some people said flu shots are offered late July to meet the deadline but I haven’t heard of any place that does it.

Springfield Medical RN / For those of us with kids

I know I’m probably a dinosaur compared to most of you entering into this Fall’s RN Program, but I’m a 45 year old returning student after all this time with a 7 year old. For those of us with kids, are any of you single parents? I remember what our orientation taught us that “no one becomes a nurse alone.” Looking for my people and support system and this took a lot to even post so I hope this makes sense to someone out there!

Cyber Security Course Selection

Hello everyone! I only have five classes left at NOVA: ITN 261, ITN 262, ITN 263, ITN 266, and, lastly, ITP 100.
I’m not gonna lie—I’ve been at NOVA for a while, and I’ve been wanting to transfer to GMU soon. Because of that, I’ve been planning to take all five of those classes in the fall semester.
Before I make a horrible decision, I wanted to get some advice from people who have experience with these courses. If anyone here has taken all of those classes—or more specifically, has taken a similar course load in one semester—what’s your honest advice? Should I split them into two semesters, or is taking all five in the fall manageable?
