I've Seen alot of topics here about students thinking about going to a different school then the ones they originally enrolled at. I recently transferred school so I thought I would post what I have learned during this process.
Something that everyone should know is that if you decide to go to a different school (i.e. transfer or whtever) you should know that any courses taken towards just your Nursing major WILL NOT transfer over! If you failed 1 class this last semester, and you decide to go to a different school now, you will have to retake ALL of your Nursing classes again (even those that you have already passed).
This is true for all the schools Nation Wide in the US.
So... it's really a big decision. I know becuz I didn't pass 1 course worth 6 credits and the limit for my school's program for failing was less then 6 credits...and I just went through my junior year. So, wht happened was that they told me to take a break for 10 months and then try to reapply to their program (with no surity that I would be accpeted). I decided that there was no point in waiting around for 10 months (wasting time) and so I transferred to a different school. Beware, since nursing courses will not transfer over and this whole thing has set me bk 1.5 years....
but now I'm a great school that cares abt me as a student and wants to see me succeed so it worked out for me:heartbeat.
Just be very careful when you make a decision like this...it worked out for me cuz if I stayed at my school and waited 10 months, that wouldve meant that I wasted an entire year with no gurantee that I would be reaccepted afterwards:down:. So, I transferred.
