I was in the RN program at PJC and to make a very long story short, I did all i had to do and consider myself a good student, and motivated others etc. i was given an opportunity to cheat, and turned it down, and now i think...damn, those people got farther than me.. im the one who isnt in the program now.

SO i took my re-entry exam. part of that was for mental health which i had passed the class, but we needed to take the exam again. i failed it this time. i dont know HOW considering i did well in the class, im taking psychology and pharmacology now... idk, im so confused, and my school is REALYL messed up.

it has been my dream to be a nurse and i feel im not getting what i deserve as a student. so many peopel have a problem with my school

i am a navy wife, i come from a family who not many people at all have gotten to college, and nooen has ever graduated. im trying to do well for myself, and today, i feel sick. i just want to be a good student and get my degree.

we are due to move from Pensacola to Beaufort SC most likely. we are awaiting where we will be going but that is where we put in for. im ready to move. i need some suggestions...anything...inspiration, info about beaufort nursing schools, advice...anything.. im just so completely devastated.

Pinky,

Don't give up, if that is your dream!! I think the Nursing Porfession needs passionate people like you, that like to motivate others! I have heard many similar stories about PJC, so your def. not alone. Maybe In Texas you can attend a school that is more conducive to your learning style! Please don't give up, I know it is terrible feeling right now, but you will get into a school different than PJC and I am sure you will excell in a program that is much more organized and helpful! Good Luck with everything, I know you can do it!!!

I agree with Noel, Do not give Up! Some colleges have the mentality to make people second guess their career. But if you have the passion for nursing, trust me, you will find a great school and everything will work out for the better. Just believe in the Up Above and he will help guide you through these tough times. Everthing will be ok, Good luck!

Well it's been a while! And I did it :) moved to sc, started an RN program, we had to move again do I withdrew...long story short ended up in California and just graduated from lvn school where I was class president! Woohoo! I'm on the right track. We move to TN in June, where I will bridge, and I'm praying to get a job as an lvn while going to school. Thank god. Everything worked out! :) now I really need to start networking. Anyone have suggestions in where to begin? I'm browsing on here, but additional suggestions are welcomed!

Went to a community college...was asked to cheat like yourself, only I didn't...I went to the Dean...was going to go to the Dean to report, but along the way I decided to drop by the Nursing Student Advocates office and see what his take was on it. He told me not to say anything because at this time our school was going thru reaccrediation with NLNAC, and should the professor who allowed us to cheat find out she may figure out a way to fail me out of school and I would have no way to prove it....ok, so, the NLNAC asks for public opinion on this school...and so I made my respective comment to the NLNAC regarding the above situation. The NLNAC doesn't take is seriously. Ok. Decided to leave this school, but the situation above really didn't factor into the decision. Attempted to apply for parttime program at PA university. Get invited to meeting where the admissions people are telling you to start your background checks, but have not made the decision as to whether or not you and a handful of others are accepted. Ok, so drop them, apply to another college...whenever you have a question, they do not answer you directly....and then tell you that you have to sign off that all of your questions have been satisfactorily answered even though you now have more ?'s than when you started...now applying to 3rd nursing school...with a 3.14 GPA...and these people tell you that you have a 2.92! Despite trying to rework the laws of math and statistics...and falling while figure skating because I was trying to figure this one out...decided to walk thru their hoops to see what goes down. But if they decline me, well, there will be no more nursing schools! By the way, the first nursing school flunked a lot of students to the extent that the Academic Integrity Committee got wind of it and the nursing school at the college had to invite these students back because of the 'grading error!'
