Do I have a chance in getting back into the Nursing Program after being dismissed?

[k3ndallee]

Hi.

I recently had to appeal for Nursing.

I was not in Clinical's yet and it was my first semester as a nursing student.

I took A&P (Anatomy and Physiology) and failed it.

I appealed and it was denied.

I was thinking of applying at a community college to retake the class and continue as a nursing student. Do you think they will let me in?

Is it possible to be allowed back into Nursing School after I get my ASN to continue and get my BSN?

Advice?

Thank You!

I don't know specifics about the program you're interested in, but it doesn't sound like you're a competitive candidate for any nursing school at this point. What I would do is review the criteria for admission and go from there. Some programs will not even allow re-taken classes.

Good luck to you!

Depends on the school. Some will let you retake a class once, some will accept it you take a comparable class at another facility, and some will tell you to walk after just one failure. The only way to find out is to ask.

You could consider going to another school, but bear in mind that some schools won't take a student who was dismissed from another program, while other schools are more forgiving.

Best of luck.

At this point, the investor-owned schools are most likely to accept students into their nursing programs without regard to previous failures.

Check out the nursing programs at ITT Tech, South University, University of Phoenix, Chamberlain, Walden, Rasmussen, Platt, Fortis, West Coast Univ, etc.

This is without a doubt the most assinine advice I have EVER heard anyone give someone who is not doing well in school. It's tantamount to saying OK, since you can't cut it academically at the school you're attending now, why don't you go to a for-profit school where you will, most likely, not only fail out of again, but this time be thousands of dollars in debt and still with no degree in the bargain.

Most if not all of the schools mentioned have questionable graduation and retention rates and are expensive for the trouble.

This information, so I don't unfairly single out any individual school, can be easily found on (collegescorecard.ed.gov).

* They reported this information to the Depatment of Education so I trust it is accurate.

The best sources for the information you seek are nursing department counselors in the schools you are contemplating.
