Anyone knows a nursing school that accepts failed nursing students

Published

Any lead on a B.S.N or Associate degree that will accept me to either finish my nursing degree or start afresh. I got to the final semester of my nursing school from a community college but did not pass their Hesi Exit exam with the required 850 and as a result, was not allowed to continue with the program. I am very passionate about pursing my nursing degree and will not allow some school policy to prevent me from achieving my dream career. I did manage to keep up with a GPA of 2.9 even with a high passing criteria of 78 % and the 2 D's which i now have as a result of failing the Exit Exam . I will not mind any school outside my state Texas preferable the ones that do not hinge their graduation on Hesi Exist scores. I do well with every other exam but that. I need any useful tips on how to get readmitted and name of school that can give me a second chance. Any hint will help.

The investor-owned schools of questionable repute are highly likely to accept 'failed' students as long as you can conjure up the tuition and fees.

These schools include ITT Technical Institute, Chamberlain College, Brown Mackie, Galen College, Concorde Career Institute, Platt College, Rasmussen, South University, University of Phoenix, West Coast University, Kaplan College, Dallas Nursing Institute, Fortis College, Pima Medical Institute, Denver School of Nursing, etc.

Proceed with caution. Even if the school accepts you (at an exorbitant cost), and you manage to graduate without being "hinged on HESI", you will still have to pass NCLEX to make use of your education.

Good luck to you.

In my experience, students who did not pass the HESI also did not pass the NCLEX. Did you get the option to remediate?
