My path in nursing school has indeed been a shaky one, I have just failed my second semester with 2 D's, and I'm on the verge of being dismissed from my University. I had previously appealed to remain in the program after repeating 2 courses as well in the first semester so I was already hanging on by a thread. I believe I was well qualified for the school with a 3.5 gpa coming in and a 85 on the TEAS entrance exam, but I believe I was too immature to take Nursing school seriously enough with how difficult it is. I realize that I had the opportunity but didnt seize my opportunity to succeed.
My question is what are my options now that I have fallen down this deep hole? Should I apply to another BSN program? should I apply to a community college and do a ADN program and then RN to BSN? Will other schools even accept me now that I have been dismissed from my BSN program?? I'm just so lost right now
I ortiginally did a duel degree in another area. I failed this area repetitively. I just wasn't cut out for it. When I finally called it quits 4! Years later and graduated with a single degree, my GPA had certainly suffered.
As far as I know if you have taken 2 semesters of nursing courses most schools won't accept you as a transfer I would probably start off slow and do an ASN program then do your BSN assuming you are a concurrent student The real question here is how bad do you want it? Is this something you want to do and are you ready mentally to reach your goal? There is nothing wrong with taking time off to "mature" evaluate what contributed to your poor grades, hanging out? Friends? Too much work or school load?
