Failed twice in a BSN program, what are my options?

Hello all i need some advice, I'm currently enrolled in a 4 yr nursing program in Texas. I'm in my third semester out of 4. I was a semester away from graduating with a BSN degree. This semester consisted of a full semester of critical care, half sem of pedi and half of OB. I just found out that i failed my OB course because of my OB HESI (final) exam :crying2:. I failed another nursing course during my first semester. Our program has a policy that if you fail any two nursing courses, you are out of the program. So that was it for me. I feel like i let myself and my family down. I'm truly disappointed but i know i have to keep my head up and progress on. I've attended all the lectures, studied hard for this HESI exam, and really enjoyed clinical this semester for OB. I was told that i may even get the OB clinical award for this semester. Now all of my hard work is gone down the drain and i'm stuck on where to go from here. I still believe that nursing is where my passion lies and i truly want to become a nurse someday. I'm really disappointed in myself and felt like i don't know where it went all wrong. At this point, I'm starting to look forward and move on. I would like to ask if anyone out there know if a 2 or another 4 yr nursing program would accept the credits i received from my 4 yr program even though i failed twice? How does that work? I'm hoping to apply to a different program, whether it's a 2 or 4yr degree program. It's spring break and the faculties are off, so i'm hoping to set up an appointment with them after we return from the break. I would appreciate any advice or information on how to apply to a different program.

Best regards,

Joe

    i am sorry 2 hear that. what i would do if i were you is i would apply to a 2 year program. i have a feeling a lot of your courses will transfer over. then when you are done with your 2 year program you will be able to take the nclex exam. you could work for a little while and build up your knowledge base and then apply to a rn-bsn bridge program. you may have had to end your current program but you are not a failure. a failure is someone who gives up on their dreams. don't give up on your dream! anything meaningful is worth fighting for! so be sad for a couple days dust yourself off and get back out there and find another route! the end result isn't going to change for you! you just have to find a different way to get there! you can do it!!!!!!!!!! good luck!!!!

    Thank you all for the advice and comments! Yes, I've been deciding on trying the 2 year program route and work my way back up to get my bachelor's (RN-BSN bridge program). Yes, I will not give up my dreams and hopes of becoming a nurse. The past couple of days have been rough on me, but I'm slowly dusting it off and trying to get back on my feet.

    Best regards,

    Joe
