I suggest requesting a medical withdrawal for the current term. This will allow you to then talk with an advisor and perhaps a mental health counselor to try to figure out your next steps. You can do this, but you need help figuring out HOW to do it. Sometimes slow and steady is what wins the race. Ask for help at school, please. Itâs there - you just need to find it.
I donât think that you have any way around this, except a medical withdrawal. Speak with your counselor about it, and get a note from your doctor. What with Covid, youâre not the only one.
Others have said that your spouse with whom you live and with whom you have children is a practicing dentist - in which case I donât understand how you qualified for Pell grants all these years, since Pell is for applicants from truly low-income households. In any event, it appears that you have exhausted the limits of public college education grants, so itâs not as if youâre at risk of losing funding from this unfortunate semester.
If you are interested in healthcare, but unable to manage the physical challenges of nursing (being on your feet all day at least during training), there are other fields within healthcare that donât require being on your feet very much. Look into ultrasound tech, pathology tech, cytology tech, etc. There are many ancillary medical fields which only require a 2 year certification - in your case, since you already have a lot of community college science, you might only need the one year of clinical training to get certified for one of these fields.
You might not have a medical issue thatâs causing you to get sick so often. Everyone was isolated during the pandemic. Many people are getting hit with virus after virus once they get back into contact with others, because we all had more than two years without being exposed to viruses. Weâve had wave after wave of viral illness (in addition to Covid) once people resumed contact with one another.
I agree that you need a complete physical and mental health evaluation because your constant need to boast about the many courses taken over 10 years, at a CC, and why you canât move the needle towards a diploma, is sad.
Going into a career, because someone you know was able to do it, makes no sense if it is not exciting for you. A career goal is supposed to be something that is exciting, and will work for your ambition, stamina, budget, and life goals.
People have tried to help you but youâve posted so many excuses on this site, that people are hesitant to believe that you actually want to help yourself. What do you seek on this site? Sympathy? Attention?? Pity? Jibber Jabber?
Youâve received excellent, repetitive, and cohesive advice from people here, at all levels of education and professional training.
Find a career that doesnât require spending money on 100 pairs of socks.
As the saying goes:
âJack of all trades, master of none.â
PS: A number of employers require a certain GPA. Satisfactory Academic Progress requires a minimum GPA to stay in school. If you donât maintain that GPA, you canât stay at that university. Why are you so determined to avoid university ADVISORS? Consult with them and take all of your transcripts and consider another career that doesnât involve standing on your feet all day, surrounded by people who are so extremely ill, that they HAVE to stay in a hospital.
OP- I am rooting for you. But your posts usually only tell half the story or you drop out midway⊠so itâs hard to help you.
Find out if you can stay in the program if you only take one class this fall. Find out what your options are for finishing a Bachelorâs-- any Bachelorâs- with what youâve done already, before your money runs out.
Then get back to us. We can help you figure out a bunch of professional options which will get you movingâŠ
No way Meaning I have to redo everything over again if I canât stay at a Uni. Such as the TEAS? They expire every two years the scores, I despised that test, very complex and barely passed TEAS 6 now thereâs a TEAS 7 which is more tough. Not a huge fan of a basic calculator and closed book exam.
Which courses did you drop? How can we help you if you donât come back and answer the questions posters are asking you, i.e. did you ascertain that you can stay enrolled if you dropped three courses this summer and are only enrolled in one class for Fall? And can you afford to pay your tuition for the rest of your Bachelorâs if you lose your aid due to being under-enrolled?
If you canât pass Gen Chem 1, 2 and Orgo 1, 2, stop perseverating about your other interests in science. You need to buckle down and master the basic material first.
You need to figure out your priorities. You need to work with an advisor at your current U to get on a plan to graduate with a Bachelorâs as quickly as you can. You need to take a warm look at all the fanciful notions you have of studying physical/inorganic chemistry and put them by the side of the road, bid them goodbye, and get on with your adult life.
I was a horrible chemistry and bio student (ended up with Câs and that was with studying my brains out). I have had a very fulfilling and challenging career- which is also lucrative- despite never having advanced at all in the sciences.
Your interests and your abilities seem quite mis-aligned. And your reluctance to admit that you need to get help from a Dean/Advisor at your college to find a way to salvage your last bad semester (and taking only one course for Fall? How is that a good idea?) does not bode well for you getting set on a path for success.
Iâm always eating greasy food, and never enough fruits and veggies. Low immune system, need to boost it up and donât lift any heavy objects, that way you wonât feel back pain or back spasms
I have already posted upthread a bunch of health careers that donât involve lifting patients or coming into close contact with sick people. I could make another dozen suggestions but since OP doesnât seem to want advice, I will stopâŠ
@napnemeanix, focusing on your health is going to help you complete an undergrad degree and find a career that is meaningful to you.
Your doctor is trying to help you live your best life. You may need the help of a nutritional specialist of some sort to support the changes you need to make. Ask the doctor for some names of people they recommend.
Based on what you have said and what your doctor is telling you to reduce from your diet (you do not need to cut completely, but you need to reduce), you most likely have inflammation that is impacting your day to day functioning, your immune response, and long term health. Research food sensitivities and inflammation and start to make some small changes. A good sensitivity test may help you prioritize what you reduce from your diet.
This is a life style change and not about counting calories. Keeping a good journal or using an app to monitor what you eat and how you feel afterwards will help you identify what is working and not working for you.
The stress of trying to figure out a major and path forward is also going to impact your health. With solid Cs in 4 Chemistry classes so far, a major or advanced degree in that area is not likely. It is great to be interested in chemistry- for now use those interests to heal yourself and maybe find a passion for helping others - there is some cool research out there: https://www.fau.eu/2021/03/08/news/research/invisible-inflammation-in-intestinal-lining-may-explain-food-intolerance/
