Advice please! Transfer school needed, but what kind??

[sunnsmiles]

Hi, new here. I live in southern New Hampshire and am one week away from my final and getting my ADN. My clinical instructor failed me last week, I already appealed and it was denied.

I don't want to be set back a whole year and I eventually want a BSN. I am so confused when looking at other schools, I don't know what my best option is. Originally I was going to finish up my ADN and immediately move on to an accelerated online RN to BSN program. I have much more than I need to get into an LPN to BSN and obviously not enough to get into an RN to BSN. If I transfer to a traditional BSN, I'm not sure how much I will lose, and there aren't any within a reasonable daily driving distance (and super expensive!) I can't stand the thought of just waiting around until next spring semester.

Any ideas? I'm not able to say too many more details, as I might want to take this further up. I don't want to say what school or what happened in clinical.

Thank you so much! :)

You would have to call each potential school and ask them what courses will transfer and what courses won't, to be eligible to the LPN-BSN you would most likely need to take the NCLEX-PN, which may not even be an option in your state.

You need to be an lpn generally to clep any core

if you try to transfer, you will probably find that core nursing classes will not transfer. you will be required to take the same courses over again. call around and see what you find. my best advice is to wait the year. in the meantime, rectify what went wrong and keep up the studies for the next class so that you ace it. your bon may allow you to challenge the lpn nclex. while you are waiting for the next class, you could be working as an lpn...at least you could bring in some $'s. once you become an lpn, you could go the lpn to adn or bsn route, but again, you will need to take the core nursing courses and/or clinicals (depending on the program). don't dispair; s___ happens. have a plan b always in the back of your mind.

If I were you, I would get the LPN license you are more than qualified for, then do LPN to BSN online. I know this must be devastating-so close to being done and all-I've been there, kind of-but hang in there and do not let one instructor ruin nursing for you-it's a wonderful field!
