Failing second year nursing assignments but passing placement?

I’m going back to my university which is a Russell Group and can often be far stricter when it comes to passing academics. You just have to think about it like this it’s been a tough few years for student nurses, and a lot of us are going through stress that has often caused a decline in our studies. Nursing anywhere is very full on course, and believe me your tutors and other teachers are very understanding in cases like this you just have to keep them informed it’s not too late in my opinion the year doesn’t start till September you have all of July and August to get it sorted so don’t panic just yet. Right now what you’re doing is good you’re contacting teachers to let them know what’s going on, private message me and then I can let you know what else I done in order to pass my appeal and also take time off to get my self sorted.

Update:

So i got in touch with my tutor and explained everything that had been going on throughout the year and how it had affected me mentally and my ability to perform well on my assignments. I also, discussed how I felt really anxious about seeking support as it was so late into the academic and the response from my tutor was very positive, i also seeked help on my failed assignments from module tutors.
Furthermore, I applied for mitigating circumstances with evidence from my uni counsellor who I got into contact with and I am currently still having sessions with her. I also got advice from the programme advisory team and my course lead. All was going well but then suddenly I fell ill and hospitalised so was unable to submit my assignments in august for the resubmission date and was given a further attempt this month. I also obtained evidence of this and put in a second mitigating circumstances claim for this reason. As I had more than one assignment to resubmit I was given an option to take a gap year and submit the assignments throughout the year with support if required by module leads.

I would like to thank everyone who advised me to get in touch with my uni within this thread. I overcame my fear and did everything possible i could to secure my place on the course regardless of how late i reached out for help. I am so glad I did and the outcome was far better than I had imagined because if I had not notified my uni of what was going on or left it even later I may not be a uni student right now and may have been permernantly withdrawn fro the course

Although i am unable to progress into year 3 and continue with the rest of my peers and will have to take a year out and submit those assignments it has motivated me to thrive and become the best possible version of myself this year and work on my mental health and focus on the work that needs to be submitted and achieving other goals this year too. I am even starting to look for a job whilst also doing bank shifts at the hospital as a student nurse so that I don't lose my skills. I believe this might be better for me so that i can go into my final year doing much better within myself.

I want to advise you all to not leave it to late in getting in touch with uni, your tutor, anyone to help with your situation. Also, if you are struggling with your mental health, academic work, physical health or anything please reach out for help and support as soon as you can. From personal experience I know this isn't always easy as said but once you do it trust me it will only benefit you, noone can help you if you don't help yourself first and take the first step in reaching out. Its always better sooner rather than later but it is still never too late.

I hope everyone in similar situations this year is aware of what they are doing and where they standing within their course and the outcome is a positive one. I wish you all the best, make sure you appeal or apply for mitigating circumstances asap if not done so already.

If you have any further questions, i'm happy to answer and help if I am able to x x

Unfortunately, it's your responsibility to ensure that your PAD is fully, correctly completed. It is also your responsibility to chase your mentor to complete and sign everything they need to - your mentors have no responsibility for the completion of your PAD, therefore it's your fault for not having pushed them to complete it for you.
Talk to the university about re-sitting 2nd year, and start asking other universities if there's any chance of transferring.

whichever of the circle jerk groups a HEI belongs to has zero impact with Pre-registration courses as its the Registration body that has far more say.

hello, i'm worried i will fail my second year of nursing due to all resubmissions due to stress and alot going on this year and not being able to focus or have motivation but I am doing really in placement and placement has been like my peace and escape this year. I loved all my placements and i'm sure I will pass the practice side of the course.

Does anyone know what will happen if I fail my assignment resubmissions but pass placement? Will I have to retake the whole of second year again or will I be kicked of the course? I am so worried. I feel like if I have to retake the whole year again I will as I will be in a better position and hopefully put this past year and everything that has gone on behind me and achieve higher by prioritising uni, but if I can't deal with being kicked of the course that will have a huge impact on my mental health I understand if I fail resubmissions I won't be able to progress into third year but I don't want to be kicked off the course. Do you think it is likely i would be withdrawn or be able to retake the whole year and would I have to complete the whole placement aspect too?

please help x x

Hey, I had a similar problem where I failed a bunch of nursing assignments in my second year. I think the work load and assignment can get a bit much and it’s a huge jump from first year. I went onto to resubmit my work and failed one of my resubs which essentially got me kicked out of university, at this point I didn’t want to carry on I was so down so I wasn’t even going to appeal. In the end I did appeal and I took a long interruption to sort my life now I’m going back to 3rd in September because I love nursing and there’s nothing more I want to do and life sometimes happens and we all make mistakes this is why I’m telling you all of this because you aren’t alone now I’m going to tell you what you should do. If all your assignments are at the same time don’t be afraid to mitigate you should always let the university know what you are going through instead of submitting work that could lead to you possibly failing. This was my biggest problem and if you are like me and you’re going through the same thing please get in touch with your student advice team and counselling team at your university. Also if the stress is getting to you, speak to your GP and your tutors so you can have all of it documented in case you need proof of mitigation or if needed a reason to appeal. We are students and sometimes things can get too much that’s why support is there please use it. If this all works hopefully they’ll be able to give resubmission periods that are not close together so you can focus on different assignment or if you’ve already submitted and worst comes to worse you fail. Now what you need to do is get in touch with your module leads or lectures on each assignment you failed, they are here to help you and they are the best to go to if you want to insure you pass the second time round. Set up meeting with them so they can get help you understand what you need to change to get the pass. Hope things work out for you

Hi Everyone,
I have experience suspending studies for 8 months and returning and taking retakes of assignments, so if anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them in this thread.
