failed my nursing 110

[heri4477]

I have failed nursing 110 in CSI CUNY. I got overall 68 in lecture course. I needed to get 75. My excuse for failing the course would be method of studyingand working. 90% of test questions are critical thinking which Iwas not familiar with. Middle of the semester, I had to help out my family. I should'vesaid something but I knew they needed someone and that was me. Afterexperiencing the class, I now understand why people told me it was difficult. Iguess I was naive to think I could manage both work and nursing.

I did readmission for next semester but I got rejected. Iunderstand that my school accepts 10 readmissions in a semester. I am going to continue reapplying to the nursing program but Iheard there was a student reapplied 5 times and didn't get in. so I am also lookingfor other schools but I am not sure which schools accept a person who failedthe nursing class.

Can anybody give me a list of schools, private or public that wouldaccept a student who failed the class?

LPN is another way to get in to RN program but i heard notevery LPN get in to the program. I probably consider LPN after I graduate.

First of all am sad for your situation and hope things work out for you.

There are several previous posts from students who were "removed" from CUNY programs with suggestions, you can search them using that function.

Basically unless things have changed once you have been dismissed for academic reasons from one one CUNY undergrad nursing program the rest are closed to you as well. Many private nursing programs as well often will not take someone who has failed out of another program. Being as that may this rule isn't 100% written in stone and a private school may allow you to apply.

I'd try Saint Paul's down in Arlington and also Beth Israel in Manhattan for a start.

Now comes the tough love part of the post:

Just being readmitted and or finding a new program is not going to solve things if you are unable to succeed academically. In other words what are you going to do differently if given another chance in a nursing program to ensure you remain and graduate?

Quite honestly if you are having problems making a "75" in an entry level nursing course how are you going to cope with the balance where things only get more difficult. If CofSI does take you back you are going to be under the gun, another failure will have you out once and for all so there will be little wiggle room for border line grades in nursing and science courses. You are going to have to pull solid "B" if not "A -" grades or above in exams/work to ensure one poor grade does not cause your GPA to drop.

thank you for the reply. i am going to go over the textbook this summer, even buy nclex book. i had too much on my plate. i should not have taken a job but i did. i regret on my past behavior, because i see my mistake. i want second chance to pass the course but also to confirm my capability of being a nurse. if i do fail in my second chance, it would be much easier for me to walk away from nursing.

i appreciate your help, i will look into those two school, thank you. :)

I also failed a CUNY program.But 3rd semester. I 've called to the different private schools. They told I could not apply for the program after being dismissed.Me and my friend went to the CUNY school.They told us we can apply.So we did.We passed NLN with a good score have GPA 4.0 but still we are on the waiting list. So I assumed that private schools were more honest .At list I did not pay money for the courses I did not really need just to be at this school .
