An update from the author of , "I Failed out of Nursing School ... Appealed and WON!!"

Published

In April I wrote the article in hopes that my story would inspire other nursing students to persevere against the odds. If you read the original article you will learn that I was a nursing student who beat the odds when my grade appeal was successful after failing a second class. And I was astonished when my article gained attention both positive and negative. To my dismay shortly after the article was published I was notified by an administrator that my username would have to be changed from "BornANurseJB" to "ToBeBornANurseJB". After my username had to be changed, I somehow lost my password and have not been able to gain access to that account. I received some really sweet messages from other members and I hate that I lost touch with those who reached out. So I wanted to give those who care to read an update. Since then I have graduated nursing school (August) and last week I passed the NCLEX (1st time). So today I decided to make a new account with the degree and initials I fought so hard for! It's NurseJen_BSN,RN :)

Florence Nightingale once said, "I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse." Today less than a year later I can proudly say that I never gave or took an excuse. And I hope I always have an attitude that reflects that.

Thank you!

I'll leave one last comment... "You know you're meant to be a nurse when you feel in the very depths of your being that nursing is the balm that will nourish your restless spirit. It is what you have to do in order to feel complete." - Pinterest Quote

Well I was reading the other threads about this. Three threads on the same topic with the same person. I guess some people must think they are special and the world revolves around them.

And what's with the emoticons? :woot:

Sure they're cute and all

But what do some people have to use so many of them :woot: :sour:

Some people are very clear about how special they think they are.

Oooh, there was a lawsuit?? What "news"? I thought it sounded fishy that the school would take her back a second time ... Never fails; when you can't get what you want the legitimate way, take 'em to court!
