Can I transfer school after my probation from another school is over

Published

I messed up big time and got suspended from the RPN program for one year (it's been over a year since) after failing 3 courses. Now, I would like to go back, and I would prefer a school closer to home. What are the probabilities of me getting in, especially considering the fact that there are so many competitive applicants/candidates? I really want to go back and I'm willing to repeat everything. Should I call the school and let them know that I'll repeat everything? Is there a special application procedure for people in my shoes?

PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Details are required.

Are you in the Psychiatric Progamme based in Ponoka? GMU was doing RPN in Edmonton.

Or are you in Ontario and doing Pratical Nursing?

If you messed up big time have you resolved the issue that caused it? Before you go back make sure that history will not repeat itself.

I'm pretty sure history wont repeat itself. I just want to know if it's possible to get accepted to another school. And it's the RPN in Ontario. Is there a special application procedure after flunking out of school? Should I call them to let them know I'm willing to repeat everything?

You could always apply to another program and see what happens.I don't think you have to do anything special, just apply and see if you get in. Good luck.

Thanks Loriangel14. I was hoping someone else would come in here that knows someone that went through the same thing. I mean, I keep hearing that so many students flunk out of nursing school. I wonder what happens to them. Hopefully I can go back to school, but I'm just not sure I'll get in again.

In Ontario at least, you have to disclose the fact that you failed. If other schools reject your application, I would strongly suggest that you reapply to the same school you were at, and write a letter requesting re-enrollment. They may also ask you to write to them why you failed, how your situation has changed, and what you intend on doing differently. Altogether, if you persist, you will accomplish your goal!
