Good GPA but failed a class

Hey!

I am a senior in nursing school and currently have a 3.5 BSN GPA but I failed a class. I didnt actually fail the class (i got an A) but i failed the clinical because the Professor thought my attitude wasnr "right" for Nursing as I have plans to go to Med School or CRNA, but most likely CRNA.

ANYWAY... I have only gotten 2 B's and the rest A's all the way through and had a GPA of 3.8 with only 3 classes left. Without the failure (it is currently being appealed and I have 3 Instructors backing me up) I would have graduuated with a 3.85 - with the failure it will be about 3.6.

I will also have all my pre med courses done and hopefully 2-3 yrs ICU done.

I realize 3.6 is competitive... but will that failure (may be remoed after appeal) kill my chances if it stays?

ALSO - I am a male and I failed for "attitude" in an obstetrics class.

THANKS!!!

    I've been accepted to the CRNA program at LSU and start this August, and I like you failed a class, Med Surg II. I applied to 9 schools, was granted 7 interviews, and only Wesleyan Univ. asked about the class I failed. They wait listed me but I was immediatly accepted to LSU, so that's were I'm going. My GPA was 3.21, GRE 1150, with my CCRN and 3 yrs CV ICU experience.

    When the pannel asked why I failed, I was honest with them and told them that my last semester of school I wasn't sure nursing was what I wanted to do and once I failed the class I had a big wake up call. I spun the incident into a positive and told them that I wasn't a quiter and I always finish what I start. They seemed to appreciate my honesty. Best of luck!
