Not happy with prof

[das729]

I have failed my third year in Canada, ended up not being able to get into anywhere else the following year. So I had to come to Australia. I do not think its fair that she failed me. Is there anyone I can contact about this. I already talked to the school but won't do anything.

You need to follow the school grievance policy. If you have already went through it and they denied you re entry, then there really isn't anything else you can do but learn from it and move on.

No one can make the school change their decison. You will just have to move on. Being failed is not a unillateral decsion by just one person.

Did you fail because you didn't meet the requirements to pass? If that is the case you don't really have a reason to complain that it isn't "fair".

[das729]

yeah I did do the grievance and still didn't work. I did meet the requirements to pass yes and I was also placed in a daycare.

[loriangel14, RN]

Being placed in a day care has nothing to do with it. if you were failed it's because you didn't meet the requirements. if your grievance failed then there is nothing you can do. You can't make them pass you.

So if you met the requirements to pass, why were you failed? Was it skills?

We just lost a classmate who was "meeting criteria" to pass in THEORY. But clinical was a whole other story. We are halfway through the semester, and her test scores were average and she was not in danger of failing. But her clinical instructor felt she was not functioning in clinical at the level she should be. She has blasted the school with how unfair it was. I don't know her exact situation, or how she performed so I cant make a sound judgment on whether it was fair or not, but her clinical classmates agreed with the instructor. Basically, there are two sides to every story. You may have been incompetent in skills, which is subjective to the instructor, and deserved being dropped. Or you could have been fine and the instructor didn't like you or whatever. But we here do not know your backstory enough to advise if you were fairly dropped or not, and if you have a case to file a grievance. GL in your new program, and try to find what it was that caused you to fail so the same mistake is not made in your new program. Best of luck.
