What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing options and advice for a user who has been academically dismissed from an ABSN program. Suggestions include getting a CNA certification, changing majors to a medical-related field, seeking advice from a school counselor, applying to different schools, and considering ADN programs or LVN to RN bridge programs. Some members share personal experiences and offer encouragement to the user facing challenges in pursuing their goal of becoming a nurse.

Recently, I have been academically dismissed from an ABSN program due to failing two classes in my first semester. I accept full responsibility for my failures and know what I did wrong to reach this point. I am going through the appeals process with my school, but it seems unlikely that I will be re-admitted. I have been looking for other schools that may accept dismissed students, but my options are limited. I refuse to give up on my journey of becoming a nurse, but I am feeling defeated and asking for advice on my options. Has anyone been through this and been able to get into another school? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

If you really want something, go for it. No matter what you hear in this forum, the decision is ultimately yours. Good luck!?

True. If I had listened to people in this forum, I wouldn't have been readmitted to the RN program. It's hard to get back in, but it can be done if you shop around.
