ABSN after BSN dismissal

Hello all, I was in a BSN program and I didnt pass pharm, twice, which resulting me being dismissed from the program. I switched majors to psych and graduated a year later with my BA. Nursing is what I really want to do! I was not emotionally ready for nursing school the first time around and the stress was too much for me. I became depressed during school and essentially gave up, which is why I didnt pass. I did talk to my professors and I was going to counseling and decided against the recommended medical leave. Now that I have grown up a little and my life is stable, I am ready to return to school for nursing. I am trying to find a ABSN program or even an RN program that will accept me. My problem is that every school I look at requires a letter of good standing and I dont think my first school will grant me that since I was dismissed for academic reasons! Does anyone know of any ABSN or RN programs that does not require a letter of good standing if previously enrollled in a BSN program??? My gpa is 3.2, which is ok and I have been working as a CNA for over a year. I went to school in Illinois and I just moved to Virginia, but I am open to schools anywhere in the US. Thanks sooooo much for any tips or advice!
