I found out not too long ago that I've been accepted into a second career accelerated BSN program. I've been combing through some of the threads here and have read a lot about retention rates for schools, what causes people to be dropped from programs, etc. Some of the reasons for students being dropped are obvious, as with the student nurse who was throwing hypodermics at her patient like the were darts :uhoh21: Other people indicate that its the difficulty of the courses that weeds people out.
In your experience, what are the most common reasons for people being dropped from, or failing, their nursing programs? (In case it wasn't obvious, I'm trying to anticipate challenges that might pop up!)
