Kicked out of BSN program in final semester

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Looking for general advice on this situation. As the title explains I was recently kicked out of BSN program for essentially what comes down to a technicality on a pass or fail course that apparently couldn't be retaken. I have always considered myself to be a relatively good student and was taken by surprise when all this occurred. I did my due diligence in order to find a way to finish my BSN degree with this university and have concluded that this is not a possibility and I will need to transfer. To date I have approx 120 credits and a little over a 3.75 gpa. I have come to understand that trying to transfer to another college at this point in your schooling career is not exactly "productive", as it seems a fraction of the prerequisites will transfer and none of the nursing core curriculum will transfer. The thought of having to retake a year plus of redundant courses, cost of doing this, and overall experience of unexpectedly being removed from a program in which I've invested years of my life that has essentially no value in terms of degree/credits/transferability etc. Has me at the point where it would seem best to forget a career in nursing entirely. At any rate, curious if anyone has any advice as to where or how I might make use of my completed courses if I were to continue on this path. pursuing an ASN vs BSN at this point? best schools to transfer to? quickest most efficient way to continue from this point etc? Thank you in advance

With a 3.75 GPA your grades are not in question so that shouldn't be a deterrent to finishing somewhere else. You are so close to finishing though I would look into completing a degree where you are. Check with the school to see what your options for degree completion are. Then you'll have options for finishing a BSN elsewhere with a Bachelor's in another field to BSN course.

Sorry you are going through this, it must be pretty stressful to get so close and not be able to finish. This situation will certainly cause you a delay, I'm guessing at least a year.
