Failed Out of Last Semester

[Emmy L]

Hi, 

I am in need of emotional support and advice. Recently I received devastating news that I’ve been dismissed from our RN program. I’ve been at this degree for 5 years, was ready to graduate, and had interviews lined up. This is all I’ve been looking forward to. I absolutely love my school. I was diagnosed with PTSD a couple months ago and last semester it had devastating impacts on my ability to succeed academically. Yet I tried to push through as much as I could and I was really looking forward to getting my degree here. I’m so devastated, I love nursing and I was so close. I can’t help but feel immense disappointment in myself.

Does anyone have advice or “been there” moments? I feel so alone and incompetent.  What do I do now? I have no idea how to move forward.

What exactly were you dismissed for? You don't have to go into deep detail, but getting dismissed this far is usually an indicator of long standing issues or 1 major issue. It's hard to give advice without some knowledge

I don't know what happened in your case but, it happens all the time. Ppl go for yrs and these heartless schools just dump ppl. I am so sorry and there are schools that WILL  take u. WGU. Look into that one. Again, please be kind to yourself and after some time, try looking at other options. God loves u as He always has. You can PM me and we can talk further.

Because it is your first dismissal, your program might have a return policy. Colleges want to see you succeed. What happens is probationary period, I.e., get your nursing life together and your personal together is possible, but enough to succeed. Then, the school will readmit you when another poor student, is also dismissed. Go through the grieving process, you might have a delay but you are in no means done. Good luck! Go see your dean and Ombudsmen of your college.
