Have I ruined my chance at being accepted into an RN-BSN program?

[Loveishope1970]

I am a RN and I would like to earn a BSN. I previously was enrolled in the RN-BSN online program at UTA. I was unable to complete the program due to having a miscarriage that was physically and emotionally difficult. I was discontinued from the program. I have decided to go back to school. I contacted WGU and I am currently in the process of submitting all the information required for them to make a decision. I'm worried that because I was discontinued from UTA, that I will not be able to get into WGU or another RN-BSN online program. I am interested in WGU because you are able to go at your own pace and I do not have any unrealistic expectations to finish in 6 months. I work full time and have a family, so I know that it will take time and a lot of hard work. My goal is to become an FNP. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm very disappointed that I wasn't able to complete the program at UTA, because it wasn't something that I hadn't planned to happen.

No one is going to touch you. There's a billion people that want that spot that have proved they can get through a program. No one cares about you back story all they see is you failed out of a program.

The original poster is already a licensed RN, so she's proven that she can successfully complete a nursing program.

We're discussing RN-to-BSN completions programs here...you know, the bridge programs for RNs with associate degrees or diplomas who would like to earn a BSN. Since RN-to-BSN completion programs are a dime a dozen and have low standards for admission, there are multiple schools that would admit her into their programs.

How old are your classes? (How much time has passed from completion of what you Have finished?)

If anything, you may need to repeat some classes. I would not be at all concerned about finding an RN to BSN program that will accept you.

Some have more stringent acceptance criteria than others.

Find a program, get enrolled, do well, and then go on to get your Masters/FNP.

Another option that you might not be aware of is an RN to MSN/FNP program.

It is possible to go from RN to MSN and either earn your BSN on the way/or just take the BSN QSEN core nursing courses and skip right over the degree towards your MSN.
