Failed Clinical because of paperwork

Hi I am being told I failed clinicals because of my paperwork had some mistakes. I was not given a chance to resubmit my paperwork at all, and my professors told me to appeal my grade. I am still in nursing school and most of the mistakes are about neurology which we learn next semester. I am wondering how is the best way I should appeal this grade? My clinical professor refuses to pass me even though I have an 80 average in nursing. They won't let me repeat the semester. My two years of work in nursing school I feel is all being undone because they won't allow me to resubmit my paperwork, yet they are allowing me to sit for my finals. I feel so discouraged and do not know what to do. I went to my circulum chair who won't over turn it.

    Well, many schools grade the clinical portion as pass/fail. A pass in the clinical portion is required to move on to the next class, regardless of the grade in the classroom portion. Now, that leads me to my several questions:

    How many graded paperwork assignments are we talking about? Is it just one? Is it multiple?

    If it's multiple, why wasn't the issue addressed after the first several?

    Are students permitted to resubmit paperwork? Or is it a once and done thing? If it's once and done, what is your argument for being allowed to resubmit when such a process was not allowed for others?

    What is the proper process for appealing a grade? Follow that established process.

    And when you do go to appeal, don't go with just what you've said here about not being allowed to resubmit, about it being related to neuro. What will you do to fix it? Will you seek out guidance from an instructor if you have questions? Utilize other resources such as journal articles or textbooks?
