Hi, I am a new nursing school student. I have given up a lot to get to school. I am older with a BS degree in biology. I have spent my first week in nursing school so stressed about clinical and clinical grades. I heard that over half of the students last semester didn't make it. Most dropped and some of the students are repeating the first semester. I also heard that many student actually got failing grades for 14 credits. Now for my question.
If you actually, fail the first semester of nursing. What are your options? I know that if I actually failed I would never want to consider nursing school again. I would need to get a government job or go back to school for another field of study. Is it legal to omit this junior college from a 3.7 GPA overall transcript set when applying to law school, medical school, or graduate school? Will I be able to omit it from job applications? I really don't care about the 1 or 2 prerequistes on the junior college transcript so I wouldn't be interested in transfer credit. Can you flunk out of nursing school and still salvage an academic record? If nobody know the answer, whom do ya'll think would? A University dean?
Please, respond. If I know I have a back up, I won't quit school out of fear and I will be a great nurse in two years. I just don't want to let them get me down, because the philosopy of the first semester is too scare you into quitting.
