In final quarter of a BSN program, if I auto fail due to not get 100% on a dosage calculation test. Can I transfer my courwork anywhere without starting from scratch?

Published

So basically as the title says I'm in my final quarter of my BSN program. I failed the retake of my dosage calculation test - I missed one and got a 90 (to start this final quarter).Is there anywhere that will allow me to transfer at least some of what I have done in previous quarters? Do any nursing schools for instance take maternity, mcd classes all of which are from a state approved and accredited school? I am currently in Fl. But will be moving back to Seattle if they don't let me challenge it. I'm just at wits end and don't know what to do. I also passed all my classes including "leveled" up and got a couple level 3s on ATIs for those subjects like maternal, medical surgical, mental health etc. And I'm also an LPN who has been a nurse since 2017. Is there any hope?

I think it depends on your circumstances because you need to transfer to a different college or program. Generally, nursing programs or schools do not accept transferred nursing courses. Your general education, such as psychology, sociology, chemistry, English, anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and normal and growth development, is likely to be credited, but your fundamentals of nursing and med-surg, for example, would have a very slim chance of being accepted.

Have you talked to your academic advisor to find out what your options are?  At my school we had to get at least 90% to pass the dose calc test.  If necessary, discuss an appeals process.  It is bizarre that they would just kick you out in the last semester over this without any way to remediate.

Depends on the program you try to transfer to. It is up to their discretion. You should investigate the individual programs you are considering transferring to.

 Florida programs are renowned for this. More $$$ 

It is built into the program to squeeze every $ from students.
