Just failed 2nd Nursing course and about 2 be dismissed from Nursing program. I do have the option to appeal the dismissal in May 2006 and I will be doing so. It will be a longshot but if they decide to let me back in, I will continue my courses in August 2006. Really depressed because I didn't expect to fail. I don't know where to turn. I studied my ass of and still failed. Can anyone help me with any suggestions about what to do at this point or about any other Nursing schools that I can apply to. I know that it will be nearly impossible to get into another nursing program after being dismissed. I really have my mind set on becoming an RN and will do anything to get back on track toward accomplishing this. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated. Thanks
from second post:
I failed Adult Health II. I, as most of my class, was borderline going into the final. I studied alot for the final but still failed. I think that so much has happened this past semester that has contributed to me failing. First of all, I was living in Baton Rouge but had to move because my lease was up on my apt. and due to the Hurricane Katrina, evacuees consumed most of the apts. there. Therefore, no decent housing led to me havig to move back home 1 and 1/2 hours away from my school. B/c of having 2 move, I had 2 quit my job that I had in Baton Rouge. My mom got laid off after the Hurricane also. To make matters worst, my car kept breaking causing me to miss valuable class time. I managed to attend all schedule clinical (thank God it was only once a week.) So no job, Mom with no job, car that breaks every other week with limited repair money, 1.5 hour drive (whenever my car is working, missed classes=failed 2nd nursing course=dismissed from program, awaiting apeal, and don't know what to do. I am scheduled to go on Thursday to speak to an advisor to inform me more about the appeal process. I have cried so much these past few days. Now I'm trying to figure out what I can do to get my life back on track. Only 4 classes left 2 take. I am praying that they take everything into consideration because this is my career at stake. I am willing to do everything in my power 2 get back on track because this is a nightmare. Any suggestions? Thanks
