Talk to the careers service and plan a new career path. In the meantime, start looking for work so you have a source of income.

You should discuss this with your personal tutor, and also your student union. Depending why you failed your resubmission and by what margin will determine your options. There may be a marking appeals process whereby you can request a remark.
The student union will also be able to advise you regarding the different evidence you might require for an appeal. -

You might want to speak to friends to see how they study, or make a study timetable to plan your time better.
Read your course handbook, or find the policies on the website. They may let you resit just this one module, or may be persuaded to let you resit the whole year. Or it may be the case that sadly you have to leave. -

Hi
Sorry to hear about your rough time. Its not uncommon for people to be withdrawn from a nursing course.
I would suggest the following:
Find out the rules, either in your hand book or online. They will cover exams and being withdrawn plus appeals.
If you cant find them ask the department.
You can talk to your tutor or go and see a student advisor.
You should find out how much you failed by.
You should then decide if you are going to appeal on what grounds you will do so. Normally there would be two grounds.
1. They did something wrong. in the way they taught the curse or way they handled the marking.
2. You have mitigating circumstances to explain your poor performance i.e someone died or you were ill or suffer mental illness etc.
You need to decide if you have enough grounds to make an appeal.
If not then you will need to leave and look into finding a new course next year. I have read of some people returning to other nursing courses, but they will obviously need t know why you were withdrawn from your current one.
It may be nursing inst for you and a different degree would be better. You would need to check funding for that. I can understand things are very awkward and in turmoil so just try an get through. You will need to find out what happens about accommodation as you may be required to pay the rent until a replacement is found.
Go and have a good cry, eat some nice food and a sleep, then draw up a to do list. Once you are away then you can take an enforced gap an figure out what to do. Hang in there. -

Ha, nursing?! Probably for the best you got kicked off. You are a female right? If not, then even better you got kicked off, or else you'd be made fun of for the rest of your life for being a male nurse. -

1 in 10 nurses are male and a lot of those are very senior. My sister is an A&E nurse and the most senior nurse in her department is a man, he runs the department. Male nurses don't get made fun of at all, except by immature teenagers like yourself who have no idea what they're talking about. -

OP: you've had a lot of good advice. I think the most important thing to do at the moment might be to figure out the appeals process. Did your meeting with your personal tutor throw up any ideas? -
