Hello I'm looking for some advice and possibly other nursing programs to apply to. I was suppose to graduate an ADN program here in California this past May, but I was unable to graduate due to not meeting the 75% exam requirement. I missed the percentage cut off by a few point. My program is not allowing me back in due to the school policy (you are not allow to return if you fail). They offered me a recommendation letter to transfer into another local community college program but there is no guarantee the other school will grant me admission. Also, I will have to start in the second semester at the other school, if I were to get in. I have contacted over 20 schools & programs inside and outside of California to inquire about possible transfer and I haven't found a program that will allow lateral transfer of my units from my previous Nursing program. A good majority of the schools I contacted, require me to apply as a first time student (start over from semester 1) and others say they may be able to accept some of my nursing credit but it's not guarantee. Before the decision is made about possibly accepting my credit, I will have to apply as a first time student, be accepted into the school and accept my admission into said program, before my transcript can be evaluated for transfer of credit. For the school that would allow transfer of credit, the most nursing units they will accept is 12 units( I have 44 Nursing units, not including pre-reqs). In addition to my nursing units, I also have a previous Bachelor's degree. I want a career in nursing, that's why I went through the process of taking pre-reqs, applying to nursing school and attending nursing school BUT, I CAN NOT restart another program from scratch. Does anyone know of a Nursing program that will allow me to finish my last semester & sit for the NCLEX? I'm willing to go to any state or country.
