Dismissed from nursing program, HELP

[pachecko]

Hello I was recently dismissed from nursing school because I failed pharmacology. I already have a bachelors degree and I passed fundamentals and Health assessment and my school doesnt allow any retakes. I understand what I did wrong and what I need to improve on.

Does anyone know of any nursing schools that accept students from dismissed programs? please only provide information to the question at hand nothing more. Thanks

I am sorry you are dealing with this. However, I don't you've provided sufficient information to generate helpful responses. Are you seeking an RN program? ADN or BSN? Where are you located?

Also - trying to impose limitations on the types of responses you receive is generally not a good idea on any type of social media. When you post on an anonymous board, there are some basic realities. Some ANers do tend to get 'preach-ey' while others are always very helpful... but the tone of their messages is beyond your control. Just ignore the ones that are not helpful or unpleasant.

Yes Im seeking an RN program. Any degree level in fine and Im from california willing to move anywhere the only reason i wanted specific responses was because people tend to get preachy

When you find a way to control responses you get on a forum, lemme know.

Why don't you go in and talk to an advisor of the nursing school that interest you. I know private schools usually don't mind taking students who were dismissed.

I don't know of any specific schools that let students in that have been previously dismissed. Your best bet is to research schools and determine if previously failing out of nursing school will disqualify you for admission. You can determine this by reading the SON's website or calling the SON yourself and asking. If all else fails, apply for an LVN school and then complete a bridge program.

I'm sorry you had a difficult time with Pharm. It can be a monster of a class for many students. Best of luck to you!

True but it is always good to remember that while we can't control others responses we can control our own response. I follow the rule of my Grandma...If you don't have something nice to say say nothing at all.

I wish *everyone* followed that rule. Life would be so pleasant. :)

I went to a prestigious 4 year BSN program. About 1/2 our class failed out after the 2nd year. Almost all were able to find other programs.

Most schools are not going to look at whether or not you were dismissed, but if you have the requirements for admission. The down side is your credits may not transfer. You may have to start over at the new school. I have friends who found schools that accepted part of their credits. When pass score minimums are often 80 or more percent, and these schools cram you through so fast, it's unfair to dismiss you after one "fail". Many schools allow one readmit per program, others allow two. It should depend on the circumstances in my opinion.
