Failed in the BSN program last semester.Any schools accept me?me?

Published

I was enrolled in a nursing program in Fall 2011.I received a D in Foundations. In Spring 2012, I enrolled in a new curriculum with additional subjects to study. In my 5th semester, I received another D for Advanced Topics.My appeals were denied. Can I enroll in any other schools? Does anyone know any schools accept a student with 2 D's / out of nursing program? I really don't know what to do at this time? When I inquired, one school said, if i could bring a letter from the Dean stating that I am in good standing with the school, they can consider accepting me. Since I surpass the Dean and went to the President ( questioned the denial of appeal), I am not sure whether she is of any help. If any student is accepted in any university, please let me know.I am so frustrated and sad. All my 4 years of hard work is in vain now.

For foundations, I did not understand what the Instructor is teaching.... med surge, advanced topics and foundations were my hardest classes... i think I am not a good test taker & then for these subjects, lot of info you need to remember... even if I study, sometimes I forget....

Personally, I think it is ridiculous to throw someone out of a nursing school for a failing a class or two or three etc. If that person must retake that class to move on then they are going to learn so much more and have such a firmer understanding of the content next time around.

I failed peds/ob my first time around and thanks to my program's lenient policy about failed classes, I just retook it at the end of the program. I learned so much more the second time around and even wrote my instructors after graduation commending them just how much I learned in Peds/Ob. Not to mention, so much was pertinent when I took my NCLEX. In a way, it was almost a blessing that I failed and had to retake the class. I'm a much better nurse because of it.

Nursing school these days is just so cut throat. I strongly admonish much of the process.

Wow after reading some of your post, i am shocked. My program would not even accept a C in the nursing level classescpmCloseBtn.png. We could make a C in the non nursing classes as long as our GPA did not dip below 2.5. However, remember most graduate schools require a 3.0 gpa so the minimal is not recommended in case you decide to go on.

libran1984, I agree with you. I remember when I repeated foundations second time .I learned much better! Can you tell me which school that you studied? I just would like to know whether they would take me. I am willing to start all over rather than going for LPN-RN...

I attended a statewide community college in Indiana called Ivy Tech.

Hey guys! Just want to tell you all that after 8 months of waiting, I am accepted into another college. I say it is just 'Divine Intervention' from above! I have to do OB, Med Surge I, Med surge II and Advanced topics within 2 semesters and if God willing i can graduate in May 15. I received C's for OB, Med surge I & II and D for Advanced topics.

I am really thankful to God for giving me this opportunity which a very few people get. I am in touch with a great tutor as well. Before joining in Fall, I wanted to brush up everything in med surge I. I truly appreciate if any of you have a syllabus of Med surge I, please send it to me.

Peeps, thanks to some of you for encouraging me at my darkest hour.Thank you all for your comments.....

I'm so happy for you!! I recently was asked to leave my program after failing a class by less than one point. What school will you be going to?? I am in search of another school/other schools to apply to. I am feeling pretty defeated right now :(

Is that a BSN also? Would you mind tell me which school you went to? I am in the same boat and am looking for a school as well. I will really appreciate it if you could tell me.
