Kicked out of nursing school with 3 weeks left to graduation

[latebloomer74, LPN]

:cry:I've been "terminated" from my PN program with three weeks to go! I made some mistakes, got three clinical warnings, which I complied with by going to the skills tutors to get help and they still kicked me out anyways!!!

They teach you something in March and expect you to be perfect when you do it for the 1st time in clinical in October, are they insane?! What kind of crap is that? How am I supposed to learn from my mistakes if I'm penalized for making them? They didn't even have the decency to say I was out of the program to my face, they sent me a letter! I didn't get to go before the "team" and defend myself, they just decided my fate and that's it. It's wrong and unfair. The punishment does not fit the crime. I'm considering going to the press or taking legal action. I need your advice/comments. Am I wrong?

I'm so very sorry to hear about your misfortunes with the PN program that you have attended. Please take advantage of any appeal processes that your school might offer if you truly feel that you have been wronged. The dean or school president are other officials who are positioned higher on the chain of command if you wish to challenge the action that has been taken against you.

I'm considering going to the press or taking legal action. I need your advice/comments.
