Hey everyone! I have quite a story to tell... About 4 years ago, I was admitted in the RN program at my community college. I was young, out of high school and I had done really well on all of science pre-reqs and college courses. All this changed during my second semester in the RN program (chronic care & Peds) I somehow began to lack motivation during the second semester. I wanted to have fun, and go out more. It was near the end of the semester, and I was about to fail. I had a C- which is considered a "D" in that nursing program. Impulsively, I decided to drop out. I decided to transfer to a 4-year university, and major in Psychology since it would be a breeze for me compared to RN school. I had many great experiences during my time in University, and I did finish my degree. Fast forward to now, I am currently working at a dull office job with little pay. I am miserable at desk job, and it has nothing to do with my what I majored in. All of my co-workers that have been there for years tell me to pursuit another job, as there is no future there. I then realized that I missed nursing. I regret quitting nursing school so early on. I was always passionate about human biology and being a helping person. Recently, it occurred to me to talk with the admission counselor from my previous RN program. I had mentioned to the advisor that I wanted to re-take the first semester of Nursing Fundamentals, since I it's the main foundation for the nursing practice; and also because it would be a fresh start for me. The advisor told me that my pre-reds were still valid, and that I had to complete a petition for re-admission form. My question is what kind of valid reasons are the nursing enrollment committee looking for when it comes to giving a second chance to a previous student? I be straight-forward and honest that I lacked maturity and effective study skills back then? Any advice would be appreciated!
