What is the main objective goal of the appeal that should be focused on? I never had to write one or even face these matters.

I made it through my program with no trouble until the very end not passing the HESI exit exam. NJBON prohibits NJ nursing schools from using these to determines our graduation or to sit the boards. However they add it so heavy in our average 35%! Is that allowed?

They did not  like to start liking me no more or as id say it, no more in their favor or have good faith in me to succeed passing the NCLEX on the first attempt, as we know the school WANTS to keep their NCLEX accreditation rate up no brainer. With that being said its clear as day when my mental disability (depression, anxiety, adhd, ocd) everything came out and surfaced from my trauma and they clear as day felt I was incompetent of passing the NCLEX on the first attempt so I wasn't in their favor no more, so I probably was the top must go student .

I know this for  a fact too because when I asked my campus Director about zooming in for the next two days due to my trauma, but not wanting to miss school because I still had a determination to go to school and continue my education because I have a goal but I just couldn't deal with seeing Student and person because I would've got asked 101 questions that I wasn't ready for. She said I can't allow you to zoom in because that would be unfair treatment that's clear as they saying that what I was going through meant nothing, how rude and disgusting .

anyways, I can make my list go on for paragraphs at a time it's just too much, so what would you reading this say would be the best first couple of things to approach, and how to approach the situation in an appeal. How do the appeals normally turn out, no one ever states and inform people how they turn out, I don't feel like buying a lawyer or an attorney for an informal or formal hearing because they can't even stand up and speak for you only guide you but only for guidance. I'm sorry it's a ridiculous amount of money and I also looking to get scammed as my guard is up already.!!

Of course, they have no say in your school's average since the state does not allow them to use anything to gauge the readiness of their students. 

I'd rather have a school that fails me right at the initial of the program than have me finish the program and struggle to sit for the board exam. That's a waste of time.

I 100% agree with you! And I however did find the HESI "guildlines" written and they explained what schools "should and shouldnt do" and they did the absolute opposite of what was said shouldnt do. Like weighing them so heavy that it should be like 15% but they also cant tell them what to do. They also stated how they should instill it in our heads and the expectations from the very start, nope we had no idea about these exits Til the second half of us being done almost to the last term. 
 

they are suppose to be using these remediation packets for us to remediate the HESI, but apparently my dean said to me and I recorded it, " we don't do remediation anymore because we are trying to follow NJBON rules ending abusive exit exams" she sounded so dumb! Students a year ago had 4 chances ! Now its just one, cmon man.....

 

10/12 is my informal hearing with the comittee I hope all goes well

The rule is bad, not the dean. Your dean usually knows the rules and doesn't want to get in trouble legally. The state is something people do not want to make enemies with. 

Anyway,  there's nothing they can do about it as the state requires the school to have a decent average. Maybe 75% or 80%. The BON would end the accreditation of that school if they kept failing on the first try of their NCLEX.
