Hello. I wanted to find out if anyone on this site might have an idea of what nursing programs in the U.S. accept previous nursing students who have 2 D's from their program listed on their transcript. I had to retake my pharmacology course because I didn't have the right resources to study for the exams and it was too late to pass the class once I figured out how to do well, I ended up getting an A the 2nd time. I recently got a D in a 8 hour course that significantly dropped my gpa to a 2.8 and I wasn't able to successfully complete the clinical portion of that course. I am a hard working student and I know what I have to do to get A's in my courses, let alone just passing them. Despite the struggles I personally went through this past semester with my anxiety and depression I still worked my hardest to get through the semester and it ended up kicking me in the butt, I should have just dropped out to take care of my personal issues and would have gotten W's instead of a D...but that's in the past and I can't change that. I've been seeing a therapist and started working on my anxiety and depression and now I'm more confident than ever that I can get my BSN. I just don't know how I can go about convincing other programs that I am capable of this. If anyone has any information on any BSN programs out there that are accredited and accept students that have been in similar situations as myself please let me know. Any other advice would be appreciated as well.

There are many, many nursing programs in the US. Have you tried contacting an admissions advisor at any of the programs near you? That would be a good place to start researching.

Many programs make decisions on situations like this on a case-by-case basis, meaning you won't be able to find out unless you apply and wait for acceptabce/denial.
