A friend of mine was forced to leave a program mostly because of personality issues with the assistant program director after 1yr in the program. What are his chances of getting into another program. Are there folks out there that had moved from one program to another for whatever reason? Was the new program receptive during the application and interview process? This guy did very well in all his didactic work

Are you sure your friend gave you all the information regarding why he was dismissed from the program?

If the only reason was because he didn't get along with the assistant program director, I think he should appeal his dismissal.

where did this happen? Is this in the US or Canada. What state or province? there may be things you can do..if you let us know more details....we can help....but its doubtful he was let go due to personality conflict...but if that was the cause....you have power.

i am in a program that in the past few years has had to let a few people go... and trust me...there are things your friend is leaving out... it isn't easy to kick someone out of a program...it takes alot of documentation and substantiated reasons (just like when you worked the floor)... the first one our program let go after 2 semesters because the documentation wasn't there after one - yet they knew what was coming... and it often is clinical in nature...

In my BSN program, half of the students were thrown out for various reasons, from grades, to attitude, etc. Most of them found spots in other programs.

Actually the looked at the whole situation from the clinical aspect, stayed on his case and accumulated documentation for him to leave the program. Those clinical mistakes were mistakes we all make but when he made them it became a news and a point of correction to the rest of us in class. Usually he would have been written up by that time.

we all sat in class with him. We saw what was happening.
I particularly was not brave enough to speak up on his behalf.
I just thought they would toy around with him and let him complete the program. He did excel in class work. Showed up on time for clinicals, helped the nurses out in pre-op holding. But when the in-house faculty settled on him finally, everything just headed one-way.

In CRNA programs you get issued a number by AANA.
Other programs will interested in why you left your former program.

You would have to explain yourself in a neutral way.

How common is it for someone to be let go from a CRNA program? From the outside looking in (I'm about a year away from applying to programs) I'm thinking this would be a pretty low ratio. I'm just curious as to how common it is for people to be let go.
