Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Published

I'm currently attending an LPN program in the state of CT and I'm due to have my baby in April 2012.. I'm in a eighteen month program and they only allow eight clinical days to be missed. I have reached my eighth day because I'm a high risk pregnancy and have been in and out the hospital several times. The director of the nursing program notified me about reaching my eighth day and told me if I miss one more clinical day I will be dismissed from the program. She said I better pray to god I don't deliver on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because those are clinical days and if so I better make sure it's a Friday after 2:30pm I'm due to graduate in June 2012 and would really be devastated if I get dismissed from the program. I plan to return to school at least three to four days after the delivery if all goes well. I dont know what to do now since she said I'm at the end of the rope. Please advice!! Thanks

Thanks for all the comments. God must of been with me through this pregnancy and he answered my prayers. My school offered three days of make up clinicals by attending several seminars on the weekends and I was able to make up three days from the eight I had. My baby and I are blessed and I will still graduate with my class in June :)
