Consider other majors, or sitting at a desk for a job...my jaw dropped!

Published

I was in an accelerated 2yr BSN program, and failed my 2nd semester. I was having a lot of legal issues I had to deal with at the same time, and as a result it drained me physically and emotionally, leaving almost nothing in me to keep pushing forward. In addition, my nursing instructor was making my semester unbearable, and seemed to favor other students and treated me unfairly. Leaving me working that much harder than others to only find something else to criticize me for. I came to a realization that with these circumstances, I was not going to be able to carry this class much longer. I decided to repeat this semester, but due to the withdraw date has passed already, I was informed that I had to continue and pass 2 courses in order to be re-admitted. I gave it my all despite everything I was dealing with in my life. At the end, I got a D and was told by my professor that because I didn't pass I couldn't move on. I don't know what do now:( I don't want to throw away what I have worked so hard for just because it was not the right time for me. I still want to pursue nursing! But how can I? I will be applying for a job as a nursing assistant soon.

Can I appeal this? Should I try to apply to a different program? Take a step back, and try ADN or LVN? I'm 24, and I just need some guidance please.
