Hi, I was in nursing school in the state of Florida and failed 2 courses by less than 2 points Nursing is my passion, I was 2 semesters away from gradbuating with my BSN. I can't see myself doing anything else, and even the other professors told me to not give up, and that they always saw me as a CVPCU/ICU nurse since I also killed the cardiac/pulmonary exams. My only problem is that I'm having problems trying to apply to a program that will take me after already being in nursing school! Valencia, UCF, USF, won't take me. I will hope for the best for Seminole, but I was looking into Herzing and Keiser. Has anyone in Florida gotten into a nursing program after failing? I need to find some schools

I failed a nursing course over halfway thru my ADN program by 1% and there were too many students who failed with me, needing to retake the course the following term, for only several available spots. I transferred to West Coast University (I believe they have a florida campus too, I'm in LA). I had to wait a year before getting back into nursing courses, have had to take many classes over again, and it is very expensive, but you gotta do what you gotta do. It's a good school, they're building a very good reputation, and at the end of the program I will have my BSN. All I want is to be a nurse.
You can do it, don't give up.
Thank you for the motivation. I'm not!! :)
