Has anyone been kicked out of nursing school after the FIRST semester?

I know that most schools have "two strikes, then you're out" rule when it comes to getting kicked out. But has anyone seen/heard of someone being dismissed after the FIRST semester? What did they do??

Every school is different. The BSN program I go to gives students two chances. They are direct entry for freshmen out of high school and I know a girl that failed (C-) micro and physiology and she was kicked out. Those were her two classes :/

In my class, there were two people kicked out the week of graduation. One loudly argued with an instructor about a medication in the middle of a busy hospital hallway. She refused to move the "discussion" to a quieter place and got in the instructor's face and, not only made some questionable statements about the instructor's family tree, craniorectal positioning, and general nursing knowledge, but also offered to fornicate up said instructor's anatomy. This was the Monday before our Friday graduation. The second one was doing her Hospice rotation and gave the patient half the vial of Morphine to "help get her to God's glory soon and out of misery here on Earth." That was on the Wednesday before graduation.

The first one showed up and tried to participate in graduation services like nothing happened. Unpleasantness ensued and the police were involved. The second one was too busy being in jail to attend graduation.

I have only seen people get kicked out of my program for constant unsafe practice at clinicals, for failing classes, or (this is the big one) for making a mistake at clinical and covering it up! If you make a mistake at clinical, own it - immediately. Most likely it will be a learning experience for you and for your classmates. If you try to cover up an error then you will probably be found out and (deservedly) treated very harshly.

Wow. That's ridiculous.

Wow. That's ridiculous.

Hard for me to imagine someone doing those things. I wouldn't do that in a million years. I'm glad the school found out about them before it was too late. Neither one has any business being around patients.
