The school obviously didn't investigate the charge before booting me and the physical and mental strain that this has caused me should be punished. I should mention that I had a 3.98 QPA, but am so disillusioned with nursing that I doubt that I'll pursue it at another school.

Welcome to the site

Unfortunately we can not give any legal advice and this is something that you need to discuss with a lawyer

So sorry you're going thru this and you are not alone. How I survived nursing school I'll never know... I was a wreck - but postponed my first real breakdown til 4 yrs after graduation lol -

I was thinking of suggesting CNA for a year, I think some nursing homes will pay for the class - do that for a year and during your next successful nursing school semester? Because you WILL succeed if you do enjoy working as a CNA and want to go further!

It's all good!
