Failed class, still continued, not fair

Published

Hi, has anyone or does anyone know someone who failed a prerequisite in a private nursing school program that has the prereqs built into the program? (For example, term 1 and 2 are prerequisite and term 3 is the nursing portion) If you fail a prerequisite, are you able to continue into the next semester with the same class or do you have to redo that semester In a different class/cohort? I have a classmate who failed a non nursing class but he was still able to continue with us into the next semester & Redo the prereq at the same time. What is confusing is that it states in our current class, that the class that he failed needed to be completed BEFORE being able to start it. It is nursing fundamentals. The school talked to him and let him proceed with our cohort anyways knowing that he failed that class Is this normal or common??

Sadly, it is best to let things lie, let the apparent unfairness just be.

I would like to know, however, why the other student got what sounds like special treatment.

Did he just negotiate better than you did or what? Was there something else involved - like sex with a higher-up or maybe a bribe or Heaven only knows what?

Anyway, how is it going now?

Even though the advice to keep your concerns only to yourself is smart for one's survival, it tells why Nursing is in the state it's currently in. The powers that be know that they can walk all over us and we just let them.

What will you gain from it? Do you have options? Do you have enough time to invest in seeking a justice you've been craving and idealizing?

If you're right in your suspicion, keep in mind this that those maniacs will do anything to protect themselves. They'd take challengers in deserted areas and put bullet in their head if they have to to protect their image and privilege.

Stay away from dirty people. Learn from them. Don't emulate such behavior. Who knows, their grandchildren will be your students. ?

Did not attend a private nursing program, but there was a student who was treated differently in a similar situation involving repeating a course. Very very unfair. One could grind their gears about it with good cause, but it would not change the outcome. I knew both students and thought very highly of the one who got the special treatment. Eventually I was able to put it into perspective as an example of the rot at the core of that nursing program. Nursing schools are not the only entities one encounters in life where rot can ruin careers of deserving people and peace of mind. Don’t let this matter ruin your peace of mind.

I get your frustration and anger, but...

"Nothing will bring you greater peace, than minding your own business."

This quote had a major impact on my life and changed the person I THOUGHT I was.

Don't ever back down, just think twice, and consider the outcome.

Best wishes?
