   Wow...no offense but don't ever become a lawyer. My instance was different in the sense she was a good distance away from me and I was still able to follow her immediately when she got up. and I did not have a physical stimulus (ie. the car stopping ...

   basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

   Yah, thanks! I just hope it transfers, because I really don't want to start all over from scratch. Otherwise I am going to graduate hopefully in May and than find an accelerated school for 12 months for fall 09. And graduate summer 2010. I guess it's...

   OK sorry I been away for such a long time. I took the advice from this board and I actually found a school! They are in the process of seeing if my classes will transfer, which I am praying it will and they said I can very well start this January! So...

   basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

   It is DIFFICULT! I have several schools. Many of them say you need a letter of good standing from your last school. I obviously dont have that. That's im so upset. If i could repeat, I wouldnt care much. But 2 years and 20 grand...down the drain. VER...

   I GOT EXPELLED! Tardies? I had three, I was told to fix it. And after being told to fix it (during mid term evaluation that was only negative thing said) I promptly did. No incidents after that. This is documented This is why I'm fighting this. If I ...

10. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    OK I see what everyone is saying. But I cant reapply! They rejected my last appeal! Now what will i do? Does anyone know any school in this entire nation that will transfer previous nursing credits? I called several schools, and I still haven't found...

11. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    That makes perfect sense (on them being able to dismiss those nurses but the reasons I question). But that does not apply to me. Keep in mind those nurses came to an environment in which they already bound themselves to a written contract which state...

    basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    "In my program's rules it did say that being excessively fatigued or suffering from sleep deprivation while in clinical is reason for dismissal. You're sure there's nothing in your program's rules about this?" NO it does not. I looked at every single...

    Thanks for the responses people! I'm getting a really good picture of the situation and how the school is thinking as well. But just one more thing... OK so what I'm getting from everyone is that i made a great error in telling the patient I was tire...

14. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    i hope that is not part of your argument and you are just venting. the reality is student nurses fall under a similar practice as registered nurses; we cannot come to work impaired. being "too tired" to remain alert is considered impaired in most sta...

15. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    basid786 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    missed something...did you go to sleep at your clinical site? How can you be dismissed for being tired? I did not fall asleep. The letter that the nurse wrote to the university stated that "my eyes were closed, nodding off, and jerking himself side ...
