Failed nursing school

Hi everyone 

I failed mental health class by 0.23 points. I was removed from the program. I’m currently and LPN and took majority of the class for the RN program. I had 2 months left from graduation. I’m still numb and can’t believe I was dismissed. All of the schools I have looked at refused to except the core nursing Classes I have taken. I spend a lot of money and time. My heart is so broken and that I’m debating wether to continue pursuing this or give up. I have passion for nursing. 

Does any one know schools that accept transfer nursing class or allow me to test of the nursing classes? 

I don’t want to spend a lot of  time in nursing school and would like to test out or go for a program that is 6 months long

Thank you

    It is unlikely that you will find a reputable, affordable school that will accept transfer credits for nursing classes. Most schools have rules regarding how many credits in your major must be taken with them in order to graduate, plus while the state BON sets what curriculum must cover, schools may arrange that information as they feel best. Therefore, nursing classes are unlikely to be identical from one school to the next. Is there an option for you to reapply to your current school after a set time? It may take longer than your original plan, but it would be quicker and more affordable than starting over somewhere else.

    Additionally, before you look into your options for completing your education, please sit down and figure out what you can do to make sure this doesn't happen again. Many schools are extremely competitive, and having been dismissed from another program will not be viewed favorably. They may ask you what you have planned to avoid this happening again.

    Have you tried to appeal and re enroll after 1 year? Most schools allow you to fail 2xs.

    Hello,

    First, I need to say, you did NOT fail! My heart truly goes out to you. I have been EXACTLY where you are! I am also an LPN and was 42 days from graduation when an instructor called to tell me I was dismissed from my ADN program for a mistake that I made (a clerical error that made it look like I did something that I didn't) After appealing as high as I could, I was denied, but told I could apply for re-admission. I did...and was denied for the same reason I was dismissed in the first place. I had to give up the RN position I had accepted. I even was getting passed over for LPN jobs. Now in my second round of severe depression I didn't know what I was going to do. As you said, colleges don't transfer any of your nursing courses. It took ALOT of soul searching and swallowing my pride. It was a difficult decision, but I finally decided this...I am a nurse, a darn good one and that's all I have ever worked for. I wasn't going to let one instructor take away everything I have put into this. Also, If I am going to put myself through this again, I'm gonna come out with a BSN instead. I looked into the local University to verify their policies on failed classes. I applied, submitted everything, and was accepted. No one ever knew WHY I was dismissed. Now, even though I have been through it all before, it's different instructors, different curriculum and I still learn new things, plus I have all of my prior knowledge to build on so things are not so difficult this time. It still hurts deeply to think about where I should be right now, but there must be a reason I'm doing it again. Best of luck to you. No matter what...NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!

    And you signed the document to be withdrawn. You should have your professor/instructor/clinical instructor show you the evidence that you were guilty, not based on someone's emotions based on what you're posting here. Don't just accept it! Do you think you can prove that you didn't do it? If so, maybe worth hiring a lawyer against your dismissal. What do you think?

    I am not accusing you of anything but did this clerical error have something to do with HIPAA?
