Failed BSN Program Junior Year

[BanannaFish]

Hello. I have previous threads that describe my situation. A brief summary is that I was in a Massachusetts BSN program, and failed at the end of my first semester Junior year. My second semester I have spent doing remediation work. My advisor and other professors told my family and I that they believed I had no reason to not be let back in. I just received the decision letter yesterday that denied my readmission back to the program. It was very brief, 3 sentences, and simply said "due to your inability to apply theory to practice over the sophomore and Junior years, your petition for readmission has been denied".

I've looked at accelerated programs, but I understand I need a BA for that...

and other programs which are 3 years are another option.

Id like to hear the opinions of others who have failed a BSN.

please review my past thread to answer any questions on why I failed and such. I will be starting a job in a Boston ER as a Tech (I've already been starting to act as one, they just need the official paperwork and training to start). I refuse to do any other career. I'll stay in school longer if I have to. I KNOW I can do nursing.

I think that's their way of saying you didn't pass the exams, hence you did not make it through & are being denied readmission. It's a numbers game and at the end of the day, if your numbers don't meet their requirements, you're out.

Oh okay thanks for clarifying but now I'm scared.

I would not worry about the major differences between an LPN or ADN program and a BSN program at this point. I would simply pursue one of these options as a more viable way to get to what you want. Your chances of being admitted to an LPN or even an ADN program after failing in a BSN program are higher than your chances of getting into another BSN program.

I'm not in your shoes right now, but I think we all have a "backup plan" somewhere in our minds! If it were me that this was happening to, I would go to LPN school and knock that out ASAP. Then I could work and make some money while doing a LPN-RN/BSN bridge program online or in the evenings. In fact, I wish I had done that instead of trying to accomplish a BSN in 4 years (which is near impossible)!

Just remember that there are many different paths to accomplish your dreams. Sometimes one path doesn't work out and sometimes you get caught in scenic routes, but the extra mile will be well worth it!
