dismissed from nursing program

Earlier in the semester, I failed my 2nd nursing course. It was a 4wk competency course where we're grade on skills, simulation scenarios, and med calc. They still allowed me to complete the semester, but now since the semester has ended I'm officially out. Currently, I'm a sociology major since I already have most of the requirements and can graduate by December.

I don't want to give up my dreams of being a nurse. I can't picture myself doing anything else. Nursing & caring for people is all I know. If I were to try another program, do they accept people who failed out another program? I know Georgia state & Kennesaw does but I'm not too sure about any other programs in Georgia. Also, should I take the ADN or accelerated route?

I did identify the reasons behind my shortcomings on both failures. They're habits I can easily change if I take advantage of available resources. I just pray and hope I get a second chance somewhere. I keep saying maybe this is God telling me not yet.” Guess I'll just continue to trust His timing.

    I went to a different school being one class short of the ADN. I was put in as an advanced placement like they do with LPNs entering the ADN program. You will be retaking some classes though. So be prepared for that. I ended up going the LPN route in the end.

    So, yes, you can go to another school. Get out there and get to talking to some schools.

    I had a classmate who failed two courses and she was able to petition to get back in. Does your school offer that?
