Failed nursing school

Okay so I failed nursing school. I'm trying to start over and reapply for other programs out of state. I was originally a transfer at my program so I already had all my prereq completed. Is it possible for me to appply to other programs without showing them my transcript from the previous school I just failed.

I highly doubt it.

Every school ive ever attended required me to submit all transcripts from any school I had attended previously.

Could you technically do it? Sure. But, that would be dishonest, and if they found out, it would be grounds for you to be dismissed again.

Its already going to be hard getting into a nursing program with one dismissal, it'll be exponentially harder with two!

Do do the right thing and keep trying!

Good luck.

It's just an option since most schools don't admit failing nursing students

As previously mentioned, you could try it but would likely be found out and booted.

The larger question is: Should you? Why did you fail? (Rhetorical question - not asking you to answer)

Have you examined the reasons and figured out how to correct them?

If you have incurred student debt in your first attempt, can you afford to incur more?

Also keep in mind, most nursing School applications do ask if you've previously failed a nursing program. You'd have to blatantly lie on your application to hide your dismissal. That would be an outright lie and a lie by omission (not submitting your transcripts).

I really think your best course of action is to sit down, write it exactly WHY you failed your program, wrote out your plan of how you plan to make sure that doesn't happen again, and submit that with your applications.

This shows integrity. You're being upfront and honest about what occurred, you're taking personal responsibility for it, and have taken the initiative to create a plan to fix it.

Lying and hiding mistakes should never be an option. All it'll do is ruin your character and diminish your chances of success.
