No. If you fail dosage calculation you may get to retake it but it will more than likely be a different test. But I've NEVER heard of a nursing school allowing you to retake a test for any reason at all. For that matter, my school didn't allow that for pre-reqs either. If you're having a hard time with pre-reqs, you need to figure out how to study and pass the first time before you start nursing school.
The college I went to allowed a rewrite of some tests BUT from what I heard, it was a different test from the one you failed.
I do remember hearing from classmates that if you had "a track record" on re-writes you also got a one on one chat regarding study habits.

Thanks for the info. Whenever I failed a math test, I was given a completely different test to rewrite. But for the Chemistry tests, I was allowed to rewrite the same tests. And now I am taking biology and again I get to rewrite the same tests. So I was just curious if it's the same in nursing school. I guess every school is different though. Good thing is that I don't have a track record for re-writes, most of the time I did well enough the first time. :)

I am a pre-nursing student and so far I finished Math and Chemistry. I am now working on Biology. In each course, if I needed to retake a test/assignment, they would always give me the same test/assignment to do. I am wondering if it is the same in actual nursing school?
