Hello, I am pretty new to the forums and the website but I've always snooped around whenever I had a question Nursing related. I never created an account but I thought I'd do so because of my current situation. To cut to the point here is my situation. I attended a BSN program through a private school. I went into the school knowing I had the risk of my classes not being transferable because it was a private institution but decided to do so. I was in my first year in and 3 terms into my nursing program and I was dropped from the program because of academic reasons. I had a minor mental breakdown which I took care of myself after that. Took a short break, and in that break had a surgery to which complications came about from that. I thought it was "smart" to go back to school shortly after and ended up realizing more than half into my semester I wasn't ready. It was too late to drop the course so the inevitable happened and I got dismissed once again. I couldn't petition to get back in because of my previous petition. I went to LVN school in hopes I would get back into my RN school. Through hard work from the aftermath of the effects of the surgery I previously had, I made it through the LVN program and got my license. I tried to go back into my previous RN school to do the lvn-rn bridge program but my gpa was not high enough. I am going to try to contact the school and see if there's anything else possible to be done. I am leaning more towards going to my previous RN school because I was 3 classes away from getting my BSN. My question to all who took their time in reading this is, is there other options aside from my private RN school? Any way to challenge the boards? Any information is welcomed as I know there are a lot of experienced nurses in these forums. Thank you in advanced.
