Failing out

You can't appeal to be readmitted to your current program?

I'm going to try. I'm going to start to look around for other programs to see where I could get into. I've been told that they don't straight up tell you that your black listed but when you present your transcript where they could see, that's when they tell you no

I could re-admit but I have to wait a full year before I could do anything.

Also, you did not fail "by half a point". The final grade is a percentage for the entire course. As former faculty, some schools will not take failures from other programs. Also with the competition being fierce and 3.5 and above being what is needed to get into many programs, even if minimum GPA is 3.0, schools will take those that are more likely to succeed. Keep in mind, that schools have to keep NCLEX pass rates high in order to stay open, schools that have NCLEX pass rates less than 80% will be closed by BON. And to get high NCLEX pass rates, schools select those will graduate on time & pass NCLEX first time.

Thanks. I have some serious thinking now. I'm feeling this is really the end of my dreams if that's the case. Being that I can't afford private schools.

Not necessarily. I'm in a similar situation in that I failed out of a VN program (didn't pass skills testing) but was able to remediate back in. True, some area schools won't allow you in if you failed out of another program; some will. Also, it's possible that you may be able to go into an area RN program. You need to plead your case to your area schools. Chin up!

You are not necessarily done, but you for sure are slowed down. If you are committed to this and willing to put in the hard work involved the worst case scenario is you are out for one year until you can re-enter the program where you left off.

I had three fellow students in that situation in my graduating class. One of them excelled as she had studied on her own during the year off to keep what she had learned the previous year reasonably fresh. The other two were not as proactive and failed out again, which meant that they were dropped from the program entirely. It isn't easy to miss a year, but it is not impossible.

Can you appeal the termination in hopes of getting back in next semester. Many schools allow you to take a class twice. However, I don't know of any that allow 3x so learn better study habits. I wouldn't give up already, but just know you might have some hard work ahead of you. Let us know how it goes.

At my program, students that failed pretty much had priority when it came to reapplying, and one could reapply as early as the following semester. So don't give up, if you can't transfer just suffer that year wait and resubmit your app.
