   Amen to that! :)

   Quick update: I have some extraordinarily good news... My daughter wrote a letter of appeal and, upon hand-delivering it to the dean, she was re-instated into the program! The dean told her that there was no need to go before the review board, just t...

   Hi Batman, She was deregistered after scoring just below an 80 in a pharmacology class. (I heartily agree it is NOT acceptable not to do well in pharm! :) ) She got herself too far in the hole with her first test and rather than drop the class immedi...

   Hi folks, For those of you who asked to be updated... My daughter is extremely stressed out as the implications of getting kicked out sink in and she realizes just how far it has set her back. She's contstantly sick to her stomach and throwing up. I'...

   Jules, she just turned 22. I'll definitely encourage her to join here! You've all been so great. I was pretty mad when I first posted and you guys didn't take it personally. I'm glad you didn't. :) Things are much calmer this evening as we've all had...

   [[ it makes more sense to go with a different program where you can get in, get trained and start working.]] Makes a ton of sense. But which program? I mean, it's easy to say "switch to xray tech or hospital admin" but we know nothing about the avail...

   [[As the student's parent, take a back seat here. A parent speaking for or interceding for a nursing student will NOT help matters. Finally, if this truly is the OP's daughter's dream, she will find a way to make it happen. But that's the daughter's...

   [[if I encountered this scenario I'd start looking at other allied health programs. Nursing is appealing because of the broad scope of practice, but if it's a matter of being sidelined for years while you wait for training , it makes more sense to go...

   [[if the answer is "no", then it is not the school's fault or due to some "crazy" policy.]] What I'm saying is, it's not right that a student pass his or her nursing classes and clinicals, and then because of falling a single point or half a point sh...

    Thank you ALL for your continued comments/advice! [[Does your daughter's school have a student handbook for the nursing program?]] That's the thing...we can't seem to find anything in writing that specifically spells out what the "rules" are. The web...

    Thank you, boogaloo. This school doesn't discriminate between nursing and non-nurses courses, unfortunately. She didn't do well on her first exam in this class, and even though she figured out how to study for the course and has done well on subseque...

    Thank you pagandeva. (Love your Maya Angelou quote - it's one of my favorites!) I have no doubt she'll make it eventually. I guess we didn't anticipate it would be this difficult. If we had known going in, we might have made wiser choices and got her...

    Thank you, Sunny. Best of luck on your boards. :)

    Thanks, Batman. :) It was our intention to get her through a bachelor's degree without her graduating with a load of student loans to pay back. It looks like that dream is slipping away - we saved enough money for four years but after that she's on ...

    Thanks for your response, KellT! My daughter has done very well on her clinicals, has been passing those with flying colors. If she can get an 80 in this one course it's all clinicals from here on out and she'll be home free. It makes zero sense to ...
