Need help about to give up

So here is my story. I beat cancer about 5 years ago, left a good job, and decided to pursue nursing because I wanted to finish my career doing something more fulfilling to my soul. I have a Bachelor of Science in Managemen from Texas Tech University, and I got an Associates Degree in generl studies graduating Cum Laude in the process of getting all my necessary pre-requisites for a couple of Accelerated Second Degree Programs. I choose one closest to me, and started the program last summer, and the speed of the program almost felt more like an academic lobotomy :). I did fine up until the end of the Fall Semester where I missed the school's 80% test score average in OB by 1%. In order to stay on track with my class, they allowed me to take an OB lecture only course online along with my regular accelerated schedule which amounted to an insane course load of 27 hours. Well I almost pulled it off, but one day before my pinning, I found out that I missed my MedSurg 2 minimum test average. My overall average in the course was 83% but my Unit Test average was 79%. We take a comprehensive Kaplan Final that is not included in our test score average also for our courses, and ironically for this course I had a raw score of 94% the highest in the school. Now I am sitting here with a 3.4 GPA being released from this program in Colorado with only 3 courses that I would have finished this summer for my BSN. I am about to walk away from this dream because I can't find any school that will transfer my nursing credits which I have 84 hard earned hours and clinical hours vested into. Any ideas out there?

Have you done the full formal academic appeals route through your nursing program dean and then the college/university dean? Offered to do make up work? Collected some recommendations from faculty? Will they let you repeat a semester or two-- I know that sounds awful, but ten years, hell, three years from now it'll be a distant memory?

I did file an academic appeal. They have 10 days to respond so we will see. The tough part is probably as you know schools just do not take Nursing course transfers from other schools. 84 hours and so much work makes it so hard to contemplate starting over.
