Despite the fact i was making high B in theory part of Physical ASsessment, i did not pass lab, therefore i flunked whole course with no chance of 2nd retake, etc. I am going to look at other nursing programs in St. Louis area. Does an F automatically disqualify one for getting into any program anywhere?

I attended UMSL and there program is in great need for improvement in several areas.

Thanks

Failing a course doesn't mean that you'll automatically be disqualified from entering another program. There were a few in my program that came from other schools because of failing. I would call all of the schools you plan on attending and ask them about their policy.

good luck.

Carla, I am sorry to hear about you not passing. I would call different schools and ask questions. I failed nursing 101 a while back, and I am about to start nursing in the fall. I took a very long break, went to get a Bachelor in Nutrition, Master in Education, now here I am years later. Just apply to as many schools as you can. I hope you get in. Good luck to you.

I spoke to my instructor on this situation and she was very unyielding on this. She said nurses (i am far from being a nurse/first semester) are never supposed to get nervous and are supposed to be 100 percent perfect even in begiining. Is there something wrong at all with this statement. I am not sure at all about UMSL nursing program.

My nursing instructor was totally unyielding on this situation and even beginning/first semester students are to be fast, not nervous at all and never make mistakes on this......I thought she doesn't believe in cirumstances and the fact i was doing fine otherwise. Has anyone else heard anything about UMSL nursing prg?
