I missed two days of clinical due to stress, job obligations and just plain feeling like I wanted to withdraw. I emailed my professor on the day of clinicals (about two hours prior to start of class) to speak to her. Long story short, I only received the chance to speak to her the next day in the afternoon. I also emailed her a vague reason for not coming in, but like I said she only contacted me the second day in the afternoon.
So anyway, of course now the head of the nursing school is urging me to withdraw. I tried every avenue to have them reconsider explaining that I would do anything to make up the labs and even do more than that, but to no avail. They say there are no more labs available to make up and they also referenced their guidelines which clearly state "two labs missed and you can be terminated from the program."
I am now so incredibly sorry for what I did and want so much to finish the program, but it doesn't seem like they will give me the chance. Is there any other option? (I know every school has their own set of rules and guidelines, but maybe another avenue to state my case.) Did this ever happen to anyone? Also I want to state that I was doing well in both lecture and lab.
