Hello all! I need some advice. I was in the nursing program from a private school. I was removed from the program because I failed 2 classes. The 2nd class was about the proctored ATI exam we have to do at the end of each class. This is where I failed the class, not the lecture/theory and not the clinical. What sucks is that this ATI is the policy from the syllables, but not according to the school handbook (eventhough the school said that some policies were changed when we were in the program, which I have no clue). Also, this school is not accredited, as they did not pass the NCLEX pass rate. We found out about this late december, but the school knew about it last May 2011. It took the school 7 months to give us an option to get our refund but now credits will be given, or we can continue on.
I am one class away from graduating. I wish that they could have given me another chance (we have to retakes for ATI exam). What I am bitter about is that, 2 of my classmates were also given 3rd chance (this is not ati EXAM, its the medical calculation quiz that we do at the beginning of a new class-only 2 retakes or a student cannot move on to the next class).
Now, I am in debt for loans and out of pocket money that the loans did not cover. I cannot get my official transcript due to my balance. I am now having a hard time trying to transfer my credits. 1 school i inquired in (private nursing school-not accredited yet) might take all credits, BUT they will have to test me out for each class (what a pressure!). The community college I was hoping for to get in, cannot take my credits because it shows I have 2 failures (eventhough I think the other 1 was technically passed). the 3rd school is another private nursing program- also not accredited yet, not even sure what or will they credit my classes. Also, not even sure if I will get approve for another loan (i have financila problem with my house).
I hear this quote all the time: "Things happen for a reason"... I don't see why this is happening, I don't know what is the reason for this to happen. I don't even see the light from wherever tunnel i'm at right now.
WHERE DO I GO, WHAT DO I DO? SHould I file a lawsuit? should i get my refund? HOW and WHERE TO START?
I didn't see your other response, until after I replied. I'm really not trying to be harsh, just realistic. Sometimes all we get out of hard times are a lesson to take forward.
All I can say is that I know the situation is disappointing and difficult, but this too shall pass. If you reenroll in school, time will fly by and before you know it, all this drama will just be a distasteful memory, sweetened by GRADUATION! Keep your chin up....you have options and a support system, and that's more than a lot of people can say. :)
I hate the fact that my classmates are moving on, but here I am, stressed out. Very limited school to find how my credits can be trasferred, where to complain regarding my situation (hoping to get something positive out of it), and stuck with this balance I have to repay. Arrrghhh, I don't know what good thing is gonna come up after this. I can't seem to find solutions right now that will give me motivations.
Which resolution is better for my appeal: full refund (since I have to restart all over) or get the actual grade be put in my transcript but in condition that I will no longer continue the nursing program (kind of like leaving the school and transferring to another)?

Maybe a refund so you can pay off your debt? Might make it easier to get financing for a new program..
