Online AAS/ADN program for students who completed 50% clinicals and failed

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you in your current program. The only online ASN program I know of is Deaconess. Their website is at http://www.deaconess.edu and has all the basic information. You have to arrange your own clinicals locally and then travel to Missouri once each semester to be tested on what you've learned. The program is accredited.

Every school is different about what transfer courses they will accept so it's hard to say who will and won't take the classes you've already done. Many schools will do an informal assessment of your transcript upon request and let you know what classes will transfer into their program.

Good luck, I hope you are able to find an alternative route to your nursing goal that works for you!

Check with Excelsior. I think I seen something in their curriculum about accepting students that have completed atleast 50% of their nursing classes. Not totally sure, but it is worth looking into.

I don't think this applies if a person failed out of nursing school.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have to have completed 50% of the program with passing grades.

Hi to all those who replied to my post,

I appreciate time taken to reply to my plea for info and help. Recently I called several schools In upstate NY. One of the schools Director of Nursing called me and left a message for me to email her about questions I have. I will pursue this since their Fall 06 program is not closed as yet. I hope she accepts at least my first year of nursing classes.

Just wanted to say special thanks to NC RN 2B, Motorcycle mama, and Mentalhealthman for replying.:thankya:

so does this apply if you have completed MORE than 50% WITH passing grades? but then failed in the 5th term?

I got a 4.0 GPA last term, but just got tossed out of clinicals in the 5th term of 6 terms?

Do you know if the Oregon BON allows excelsior grads to sit for NCLEX??

Hi traveler2bee,

I am sorry I do not have the info you're seeking. I have just about given up on pursuing this path because of the many negative responses I have received. I am currently pursuing business and I am seeing positive results.

I do not know where you're from but there is a school in NJ that offers Nursing program in January. You do the program online and travel once per week. At the moment I cannot remember the name of the school but I will check it out for you later. Bye

I wanted you to know you would be surprised how many people fail out of nursing school. It happened to me. In December, 2007 I was having difficulty passing my tests in my last semeter. I did not make it. At the time, I did not know what my next move would be. I did some research and realized Excelsior would be my best option. You do know you could try it also. You completed at least 50% of your nursing courses. As long as it is within 5 years since you were in nursing school. Don't give up your dream of becoming an RN. You can do it.

So did excelsior accept you, with your failed course:confused: I'm just curious because I get a lot of former-failed students asking me advise on this very subject.

so are you currently attending Excelsior? they let you in even though you failed out of nursing school? thats my big question right now.

thanks.

Yes, they accepted me. Just a little on my background: I am an LPN and a former school teacher with a BS. I went to a local college in Louisiana from summer 2005 to December 2007. After I applied to Excelsior, they reviewed my transcripts from my former colleges. To be honest, I knew I would have to take some classes over. I received an informal review back. It stated I would have to take a literacy class, a sociology class, a psychology along with their nursing classes. I do not have to take the class formerly known as nc 2 due to my LPN background. However, if you completed 50% of your nursing classes you qualify. Would you consider just having them look at your college transcripts by applying for $75? I just enrolled Friday under a payment plan. However, I really did not have to enroll to sign up to take the first test. I am taking it February 9, 2008. It is Health safety. I am reading my fundamentals of nursing book, using studygroup 101, and taking Excelsior practice test. I want you to know when attending traditional school ended for me I was mentally and financially drained. However, I have found myself around very encouraging people (many on this board):) I am still very determined to complete my goal of becomomg an RN.
