I appreciate this feedback. Especially with how I’ve been feeling lately. I am taking the steps though to make this right. And they knew my name because I was wearing my badge, so when I was stopped and questioned is when my name was identified.

Yes I’m going through the process of appealing now, though I feel my situation is very unique in the sense that the guidelines suited for an appeal don’t quite fit my underlying reason for dismissal. Also, it wasn’t students who made the complaint. They were individuals who worked for the hospital. And I am absolutely certain who they were because I was approached by a man who was accompanied by two other individuals at the time and was questioned if i was vaping. And if I were to take a nicotine test, yes I would pass. But they haven’t even given me the oppurtunity to do that. I don’t smoke, let alone vape.

Yeah the reason I even bring up the video is because I just find it hard to believe no matter the quality of the video that it couldn’t prove I was speaking on the truth. Like you mentioned, it should atleast pick up on the motions of putting something in your mouth. And for that I’m in such disbelief that all this even occurred. I’m in the process of though of writing an appeal. And it alll goes welll, I’m hoping to get reinstated.

Yes I see what you’re saying. And absolutely! I did send a message requesting the footage and I do have the email stating that they have eyewitnesses who came forward with the complaint. However, during my meeting with the school is when it was verbally expressed that camera footage wasn’t viable because of the quality of the camera but that th decision to dismiss was solely on the 3 eyewitnesses.

Exactly my thought process. And the crazier part about it, I wasn’t even informed of who the alleged eyewitnesses were or where they “saw me vaping” all’s that was said is, “there were 3 eyewitnesses.” It’s unbelievable. And I didn’t see any vape smoke or smelled anything out of the ordinary while i was walking through the hall so whatever he thought he saw is on him, but it cost me my education. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.

Welll that’s what I’m concluding happened. I was walking down a hallway when this all occurred. Three men were standing in the distance. I noticed one looking in my direction and the other two were facing him. As I got closer to where they were standing is only when the guy who was looking down at my direction initially, asked about vaping. I couldnt provide him with any answer other than the truth which was no. He wasn’t even wearing security attire, and didn’t even have his badge on so I didnt know who I was dealing with. Anyhow, even after I provided him with an answer, a report suddenly was made, and coincidentally it was by 3 “eyewitnesses.” I definetly understand I have prior history for having to leave but that’s every reason why I wouldn’t have done anything to jeopardize my chances in the program, especially anything as remotely stupid as vaping in a hospital. But hey thanks for the feedback!!! Appreciate all of you for the input.

Idk. I wish I can answer that. Alll I can say at this point is consider it a discriminatory act. I hate to do that but I can’t imagine any other reason why they would deem that onto me.

No i don’t have substance abuse issues. If that was the case i wouldn’t even bother to try and find ways to fight this. I mentioned the fact that nothing was found on cameras to give details on my situation. Ofcourse nothing would of been found on cameras because vaping did not occur. But thank you for your feedback. I am still trying to find a way. I’m still awaiting on the dismissal letter from my school to move forward

It was a crowded hallway. Idk what the man may have thought he saw but whatever it was it led him to question me when i passed him in the hallway. I don’t vape which is what’s bringing me to try and investigate ways to see what i can do to prove just that.

Yeah it sounds bizarre. But there’s more to the story ofcourse. During clinical i had left the unit to grab a snack at the hospitals cafeteria. Thereafter i as i was walking down the hall, by the cafe, that’s when i noticed a gentleman who i assumed worked there, looking at me. He was standing there with two other guys who happened to be conversing with one another at the time. They must of worked at the hospital too. Now as i got closer to him, is when he had questioned me if i had vaped. i had given him a look of confusion, but replied no. He then replied saying he thought he saw something as i was walking up down the hallway and shook his head. I didn’t think anything of it just replied once again with oh well no sorry. I didn’t vape. And kept it moving. It was then at the end of my clinical, my professor brought me to the side and explained to me that 3 security guards had made a complaint of me vaping. So as you guys can see this is where I’m assuming that it was these very guys who made that complaint. It wasn’t three separate individuals on three separate locations. And most importantly it couldn’t have been because i wasn’t vaping. It’s so frustrating

Appreciate the feedback! Thank you so much.

Hello my fellow peers, I apolgize in advance for this is a lengthy post. So I have been a nursing student now since 2016 and currently in my last year. I attend a private institution. [A little disclosure: I would of graduated May 2018 but I had a setback. I was going through some outside stressors which was beginning to interfere with my education. I wasn't managing my time effectively, therefore causing me to miss not one but two clinical days. From that, I received (2) academic warnings and had to then sit in front of the dean of the school to prove why I want to be in the program. The meeting resulted in me withdrawing to "find myself.” I was granted an oppurtunity to come back in the fall (August 2018) on the condition that I do not receive any further academic warnings this time around or else it would mean grounds for dismissal] So this brings me here: A week ago, I was under investigation due to an incident that occurred in my clinical rotation. A complaint arose that three individuals had witnessed me vaping around the premises of the hospital where I was having one of my rotations at. The fact of the matter is I wasn't vaping, nor do I have ownership of one. The school that I attend investigated the complaint further by reviewing camera footage but the footage did not find proof of that occurring. But because they had three eyewitnesses, they have decided to dismiss me from the program. I've very passionate about Nursing. I've been doing very well academically/clinically up until this moment. I'm devastated. My questions: 1) Would I be able to appeal this and win? 2) Would another Nursing program even accept me after this? 3) Is it advisable to make this a court case? Appreciate any/all advice and/or feedback. Thank you all.
