Going to appeal to get back in the LVN school

Published

im going to a vocational school for my LVN thats an 11 month program. I failed the first time and had to repeat the semester again. Again, i failed the second time. i passed every subject in the semester the second time i tried again except for anatomy & physiology. My school told me i only had one chance to repeat it and if i failed again, i'm kicked out from the program for good. I talked to my school director and she said i should appeal. Meaning, i will talk to a group of people trying to convince them to get me back in the program.

my plan is to take anatomy & physiology online while i continue the next semester (semester 2) with my current class. The problem is that the director of the program said im supposed to finish anatomy & physiology 3 weeks from now but i wont be able to finish it till 5 weeks from now. Second semester doesnt start till 8 days from now. The director said that she doubts they will approve me for re-admission and to take anatomy & physiology online. She said it's worth a try. Im scheduled for the appeal in 2 days.

During the appeal, Im going to have to tell them i want to request a re admission and take anatomy & physiology online. Im going to also tell them how I'm going to do better the third time around. I have to tell them my plan while taking the online class and continuing the second semester. The director even said to expect them to ask me " how is taking anatomy & physiology not going to distract you while studying for semester 2 at the same time". i also have to tell them why i want to come back to the LVN program. Does anyone have any advice for me to do all this? thank you.

My advice is to take the anatomy and phys alone. Then go back to the program. I would approach the school admin with that plan as it would make it more probable that you could be successful. Better to wait out a semester and get the a&p class over and passed, than to bite off too much again. JMO

sounds like you're going to have to prove that you are serious about continuing with NS. convincing a panel will be easier if you do what the PP said and take A&P by itself, get a stellar grade and then proceed with the appeal.

is there a JC nearby where you can take it? good luck.
