Failed Two Nursing Courses – Is Transfer Still an Option?

[KimiKimi]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently a student in an ADN-RN program at a California community college and I really need some advice. I've failed two nursing courses — once in Level 2 (which I later retook and passed), and most recently I failed Pediatrics (Level 7) by just 2%. I was originally on track to graduate after completing my final course, Adult Health II (Level 8), this year.

 

Unfortunately, because this is my second failure, I've been told I'm no longer eligible to remain in the program.

 

I've already contacted several other community colleges to see if I could transfer into their nursing programs and continue from where I left off. So far:

 

Pasadena City College and East LA College said they do not accept transfer students for nursing.

Still waiting to hear back from others like LACC, Glendale, etc.

 

 

- Has anyone here successfully transferred to a different ADN program after failing two courses?

-Do any schools accept students in situations like this?

-Are there any other realistic options I should consider (like LVN, BSN second entry, or other pathways)?

 

I'm open to any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions. I've worked really hard to get to this point and it's been an incredibly difficult time mentally and emotionally. I'd deeply appreciate any support or information.

 

Thank you ..
