Failed last semster of school

[RAndaRoo]

Hello friends.

Here on a somber note, literally just found out today that I won't be graduating. Unfortunately I needed a certain grade on my final to pass, and missed the mark by 4 points, so I'm failing the class by a whopping 1.5 points. And even more unfortunately, I've already failed two classes prior this so that's it, I'm out of the program. There's no point in appealing my grade, as I wasn't treated unjustly in any way. Supposedly I can appeal to stay in the program...but again I don't know what circumstances make them decide to overturn that rule for people.

I already had a job lined up, and really just feeling pretty bummed about everything. I currently still work as a tech and I've always loved clinicals, so the passion is there. I do great in clinicals, but have always sucked at lecture classes. Even in pre-nursing classes like A&P I hated lecture...made A's on lab practicals. I'm going to meet with my professor and one of our advisers for any advice on next steps. However, I was just wondering if anyone here had underwent similar experiences. I know a lot of times it's hard for nursing classes to transfer to a new program, and they often make you start over.But I think it would still be worth it...because I don't have another degree to fall back on and if it's going to be another two years to get a degree I might as well do something I already know about. I've felt like nursing was meant for me for a while now, and even more so working as a tech. But I guess right now I'm just feeling all sorts of defeated and like a failure. Hopefully this post made sense, I'm a little scatter brained right now.

Sorry for the super long post. Any advice y'all may have would be great!! Thanks!

Hey it is great you can retake the class, a second chance is hard to get in some programs. I just wanted to add some tips that helped me and others when it comes to lecture type studies. If you don't record them now to listen to later, I would start doing it this time around. It is amazing how much more you can pick up from listening to a lecture at home when you are ready to settle down and study. A recorder is pretty cheap, you can pick them up at the local big box store. Honestly, when I started doing this, I found it much more helpful than just reading notes. I have continued this practice through grad school and it has made a huge difference. Just my 2 cents, Good Luck!

Hello! I just recently got dismissed from my program and got my appeal denied. I am desperately finding another program to transfer to/start over with and I'm having trouble finding one. Do you mind if I asked you what program you attend? Or if you know of any other programs that may have accepted you after failing 2 courses? I'm looking for any program in the U.S.. If you're able to pm me or email me at [email protected] I would so appreciate it.

That is true, I've been doing Hurst and listening to those really helps me. That's a good idea, I know we have to ask permission from our professors, but doesn't hurt to ask! Thank you for the advice!

Generally speaking, the investor-owned schools of questionable repute (University of Phoenix, Brown Mackie, Platt, Fortis, Chamberlain, South University, Walden University, West Coast University, Carrington, Everest, ITT Technical Institute) will grant you admission as long as you have the cash or student loan proceeds to fund the venture.
