hi nurse,

i failed my funds course last semester and i have to write a reinstatement letter. i've put it together and i'd like some input on what you guys think. any feedback will be greatly appreciated. here goes....

i was accepted into bryant & stratton's nursing program in the spring of 2011. i passed the teas entrance exam on my attempt and made the dean's list my first semester. my second semester proved to be much for difficult than i had anticipated. i started off on a good note and scored an '88'on my first lecture exam. i struggled with the math portion of the class; however, i did pass the math test. my downfall came with a practical test-out when i was unable to successfully complete wound care. i have always been successful in my higher education studies; therefore, failing this course left me devastated and ashamed to say the least. i've worked in the nursing profession since i was 21 years old. i started out as an aide in a group home for the mentally disabled. over the years, i've worked as an stna and hha. i'm currently employed part-time as an advocate for victims of violent crimes. nursing is in my blood and i know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that this is what i want.

since failing the class, i've thought long and hard about what course of action to take that will help me succeed in nursing fundamentals this semester. i believe my failing the course was a direct result of the lack of time i spent in open lab. due to my work schedule, i was unable to spend more than one hour a week in open lab. i realize now that that one hour a week is not going to cut it. in preparation for this semester, i've spent my time during this break studying my manual and practicing the skills. i have rearranged my work schedule and chosen a class schedule that will allow me to attend open lab a minimum of 5 hours a week. i intend to take fundamentals, lifespan, and math 103. my plan of action covers all my weak areas and i am looking forward to giving it my all this semester.

This letter doesn't need more added to it, it needs cleaning up and a little reorganizing. Is there a writing center at your school you can take this to? Is this exact version you are sending? If so, I could help you clean it up.

I planned on going over it for spelling errors etc..... but this was my final format. We have a writing center at school but you're only allowed to submit a certain amount of material. I'd like to save that for the papers I have to write for classes. I'd appreciate any advice you can give. I just received the letter stating that I had to write this yesterday and my class starts tomorrow

needs editing and being divided into thematic paragraphs.

(indent here, new paragraph) i’ve worked in the nursing profession since i was 21 years old.(how old are you now, example...for two years etc...) i started out as an aide in a group home for the mentally disabled. over the years, i’ve worked as an stna and hha. i’m currently employed part-time as an advocate for victims of violent crimes. nursing is in my blood and i know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that this is what i want. (to be a nurse? to help people? be specific here.)

(indent)since failing this class, i’ve thought long and hard about what course of action will be needed to help me succeed in nursing fundamentals this next semester. i believe my failing the course was a direct result of the lack of time i spent in open lab, due to my work schedule. [color=#696969]i spent a mere one hour per week in lab and have realized that i need to devote more time to practicing the skills necessary for this class. as a result, i have reduced and reorganized my work schedule and chosen a different class schedule that will allow me to attend open lab a minimum of 5 hours a week and to devote more time to studying and applying new skills. (re-organized and cleaned up)

(indent) i’ve spent my time during this break studying my manual and practicing the skills. [color=#696969]my intentions for the spring 2012 semester are to take fundamentals, lifespan, and math 103. my current plan of action covers all my weaknesses and being able to correct and focus on each one of those areas. i am looking forward to giving it my all this coming semester and remaining a nursing student at bryant & stratton until graduation. ( re-organized and cleaned up)"

i hope this helps you and you don't find me too forward. i'm just trying to help a fellow nursing student. i wish you the best of luck.

Oh....lol In real life, I've edited it. It's broken up and double spaced between paragraphs. I did add the words I dropped here and there, such as sticking "first' in between 'my attempt' and I wrote it in block letter format.

Oh sorry about that, you never know though. Best wishes.

Are there certain points that you're required to hit? I personally find it best to leave the emotions out of this type of professional communication and focus on the facts. If that's what they want though, please ignore what I just said :)

I'm a capricorn so by nature I'm not very emotional; however, everyone I spoke with said I should stress how much it means to me....*shrug* soI went with it.

Oh yeah......and it wasnt a reinstatement letter, it was a letter of request
