Ok so I started off as a nursing student at Pace University and was dismissed from program because I failed two classes. I failed the clinical component unjustly, the instructor failed me on the Rhine and Weber test because I didnt ask the patient to let me know when they stopped hearIing the vibration...When I was retested another instructor said that all of my techniques were wrong and not just the question. I was devastated...To make matters worse, I failed another class by 1.5 pts. My appeal was denied and I was dismissed from the program. When I asked if I can reapply I was told that I have to wait a year which will be Spring 2010 but I wont be able to enter program again until Fall 2010. I am not sure if attending Pace will be a good idea and I am looking to go to another college. I am still a student there, I have taken all of my prereqs, yet I am in the process of trying to boost my GPA so that schools will accept me.
My question is what should I do in the mean time? Should I get a BA in something like liberal arts and apply to an accelerated program (have to take GRE), should I apply to an ASN program get my RN and THEN go to BSN program and have hospital pay, or go straight to BSN program.
FYI I am a 28 year old single mother of a six year old and I have 60 credits from Pace already.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
