Complaints against a school

Published

Please, oh please offer some advice! My hubby is in an ADN program and the teachers there are trying to fail him. His instructors called him in today to tell him that they got a complaint on him from someone at the hospital (from clinical) and that he will be unable to attend clinical tomorrow until it is cleared up. He has a 90 average in lecture but needs every point to pass clinical. There is a long story associated with why losing the points for tomorrows clinical will fail him, but, I don't have time to tell the whole story. But the bottom line is...the instructors won't tell him what the complaint was or who made it. Doesn't he have the right to know? We are getting an attorney!!!

:confused:

Tell him to go to the Dean and the Dept Chair if possible. I wouldn't take it lying down.

Ok, everyone. It is official. He has withdrawn, he has turned in his books, he paid his last $291 tuition installment. His classmates cried saying goodbye to him. What a waste. What a horrible waste of emotion, time, money, effort, spirit, and talents.

He will be a nurse. Maybe not May 2004, but he will achieve his dream. What cold, hard and ruthless individuals there are in this world. One of this days, when one of them are in need of good nursing, they will find themselves in his care. He will give them the same compassionate care that he affords to everyone. The smile and caring nature will diminish the pain and show the evil ones that they cannot beat him. He will prevail!!

By the way: He is keeping up the fight. We have an attorney and he will have his say. We HAVE to find out about the complaint. He needs to know! Looks like we will have to do that in court. He withdrew to protect his admission into another program. But, he is not giving up! Thank you all for your thoughts, advice and prayers.

I'm glad that your hubby is continuing at another school and not giving up! I am also very glad that you retained an attorney. There are too many people who just roll over and say "oh well, what is done is done"! KUDOS to you both for staying in the fight!
