I am a 4th semester nursing student and failed to pass the med calc test. I am not sure about other schools, but we were only allowed to miss one. I must now withdraw from the program. As if failing the test wasn't bad enough, my situation is even worse. I have already been reinstated once due to surgery so I can't even apply for reinstatement.
Has anyone else ever been in my shoes or am I the only "dumb" person??
I feel like such a failure! All this hard work and only eight weeks of school / preceptorship before graduation. There are no other ADN programs in my area other than a private college (which only has provisional accreditation).
I am considering transferring my credits to a local university that offers a BSN program but I don't even know if I would get accepted since I can't even pass a med calc test. Any comments or suggestions would surely help. I am still in shock and disbelief. I never, ever thought I'd fail due to med calculations!

Thank you for the advise! I met with the Dean and was told my options are to either apply as a new student and re-do the entire program, or to take a few courses in the LPN, get my LPN license and bridge to ADN. I asked if I could appeal to the reinstatement committe as I felt my prior reinstatment (due to necessary surgery) should not be held against me. I am in the process of doing this now. Wish me luck!
