Need Advice, No Longer Able To Be A Nurse

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Updated:   Published

Has anyone ever gotten denied from an LPN/RN program at one school and got accepted into an LPN/RN program at a different school? I really want to become a nurse and hope my chance has not past.

In 2020, I I was given three chances to pass at LPN Program at a technical school. They gave me an extra chance to succeed because of COVID19. My final drop was April 2020, the starting of  Surg. Tech classes.

I emailed the school today asking could I ever re-enter nursing. They said no, since I already dropped classes for the third time.

I went  through a tough time after finding out a close family member molested my kid and other family member's kids. I did not give them a reason for leaving a third time. Finding out a monster lives  in my family was hard and consumed my mind for awhile. You always think it happens to other families, not yours. The person who molested our kids was paying for my schooling at the time I found out about all of this. The situation was complex and confusing.

I just got a message from my teacher saying the dean of nursing approved my returning in March. I AM BACK IN NURSING!  yes, I am shouting victory. I am so happy that I get to return to my old school. The teachers at my currently school are nice and caring and glad I am returning to the same school. Thanks everyone for you good advice.

Glad you had a positive outcome. Now you have to not only remain in school but do great, not good, great. It's mandatory!

My situation wasn’t the same, but I can offer some insight I’m hoping.

I live in NYC. At 21/22, I got into a nursing (RN) program and was over the moon because that was my long life dream. I’ve worked very hard for this acceptance. I had to put everything that I had into that school because it was private school and cost a lot! A family friend offered  to help me and said that I could stay at their place for 3 years to finish school since I running out of funds for school and to support myself. I jumped to the opportunity. Oh boy, his kids (Around my age) severely bullied me that I couldn’t breathe and pushed me to a deep depression that cost me so much. They were pure evil and made it their mission to torture me every single day. Going into semester 2, I couldn’t finish because I was being bullied and Failed out of the program. I couldn’t leave the place because I didn’t money to pay for another place. I got out a year later after getting a job. 

 

Now at 27/28, I applied to another school On New Jersey and mention all my struggles in my letter. I got accepted (RN program). I have exactly a year left to graduate.  I did get denied in other programs due to my previous failures. I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I can’t even imagine what this must be like. Please don’t give up on your dreams. There is a school out there that will understand because everyone has a journey. 
 Sending you love and hugs.
