Hi,
I am hoping someone will be able to offer me some advice, and tell me if they have been in a similar situation, and what was the outcome. OK here goes, I will explain the situation that led me to my current point, a bit long so please bear with me.
I am at the end of my 2nd year of adult nursing at Herts Uni. A few months back i had an assignment due, i handed the assignment in but forgot to hand in the 2 research papers that were supposed to go in with the assignment. If i had not forgotten the 2 papers the assignment would of been a pass. So because of this, the uni awarded me a fail. This Monday gone was the resubmit for the assignment, and would you believe, again i forgot to hand it in.
Normally i am very organised and this has never happened to me in the past, all my assignments have gone in on time.
The problem i believe is that i have suffered 5 bereavements, all in a matter of 6 weeks, back in March. Due to the demands of Uni assignments, and a 10 week elective placement, i chose to put my feeling on a back burner and plod on. Furthermore, I had a spell of ill health with kidney stones and kidney infection, which i still have now. I know wish that i had asked for compassionate leave and dealt with the bereavements and my health, then maybe i wouldn't of made such silly mistakes.
I also failed the second half a 30 credit module, which i had to resit this Monday. It was while i was waiting to go into the exam hall that a fellow student asked if i had handed in the assignment, to my horror, i realised i had not. Well this was not the best way to go into an exam, with the stress of that and a kidney infection, i think i might not of done as much as was needed to pass that exam. I spent the last hour bursting for the toilet and due to the comfortableness and stress, i could not concentrate.
On my return home, i submitted my assignment and emailed my year head. He replied the next day stating that i cannot carry through 2 modules to 3rd year, so if i fail the exam i will most likely not be able to proceed to 3rd year. If i do pass the exam, it will have to go to the examination board as to whether i can proceed due to the last submission of my assignment. I am besides myself and so annoyed that i could loose my dream that i have waited 25 years to do, due to my dis-organisation. The worst part now is the waiting for my fate to be decided.
Anyone else been in this situation? is there anything i can do?
Thanks in advance for any feedback and help.
