To be perfectly honest to get into a nursing program in my area Bs just aren't good enough. I know that seems crazy but that's just the way it is. They want a 4.0 or very, very, very close to a 4.0. Especially when there are plenty of 4.0 students out who have also been CNAs and have exceptional recommendation letters etc. the one with the 4.0 will get in. They especially want to see an A in classes like chem and A and P.

He may have met the minimum GPA but if they have A students they'll take them over B students. Just meeting the GPA requirement is seldom enough

Meeting basic requirements for entry into a nursing program certainly does not guarunte acceptance into the program. Meeting the basic requirements only means the student is eligible to apply for entry into the nursing program.

JoPACURN,
Discrimination is alive and well in America. One of the kids in high school said "he was a dumb chink" and at the time he was the only Korean in the area. But there is more discrimination than you think. Does he or I think it's that? Well I hope not? He thinks it is because he works and that is what the Dean of the nursing school told him. But that is not a legitimate reason to deny admission into clinicals. but who knows? I just know this is a Legal Nursing college and there must be rules and who is the boss? Being evasive about these answer is rather alarming.

tothepointe ,Cynop,
I understand that and if they had said that in the letter at least we would went "well ok" because it states in the catalague. But he was toldDean of the Nursing School why and she said to first "it isn't personal" and 2nd "based on statistics he didn't have a good chance at succeeding. Which is none of the reason we are talking about and not what the admissions form said? There seems to be a disparity between what the rules and the reasons why he is being told no.

[quote=georgeoftheforge;3659374]Recently my son was turned down(2nd time) for clinical in LPN nursing for the Nursing. He has fulfilled all the requirements to be eligible for nursing clinical.

Usually LPN programs take 12 month to complete. What I"m saying is becuase government is pushing people to get college education there should be more grants avaliable to students. I know few colleges around my areas have loan forgiveness to students who are struggling financially. They also give free nursing school training to those who are laid off from the car industry. Also I know lot of healthcare facilities give away scholarships to those who are interested in going to nursing school and also there are alot of scholarships avaliable to those interested in becoming a nurse.

I talked to one of the Att. at Exceptional Nurses at site of Dr. Maheady(nice lady) she advise him to talk to a attorny in his area. Especially since the Dean of Nurse was aware he had ADD.

This lpn program is 2 years. But I highlited and copies the scholarships you are talking about and saved them for him to see. A local Hospital has promised him a full scholarship WHEN he gets in.
