   Oh no, if I decided to reapply then I won't do or say anything to the program directors. I will just fly under the radar and go to this instructors class if they will let me. If this tells you anything about our program, we started last August 2018 w...

4. Failed my third semester, should I do anything about it?

   Sillycat replied to Sillycat's topic in General Students

   No this is a community college. I'm not sure why they offer multiple campuses because you would think that it would be easier to have us all at one campus because we did that when one instructor was teaching cardiac. It's probably also for clinical s...

   Oh I wasn't going to get an attorney, I just had a classmate who had to do that. In the end, she was found innocent and she explained how corrupt our program was, and I am truly happy that she was able to fight it but it was 7 weeks of hell for her. ...

   Ugh, I failed out of nursing school this semester. It was horrible. I have a documented disability with an accommodation plan through the school. In my plan it states that if I have some sort of disability crisis before or during an exam that I can m...

10. Should you report it if you have a disability?

    Sillycat replied to Sillycat's topic in General Nursing

    No, as this is not typical or it is not typical to me. I know that some anxiety is a good thing, but my anxiety makes me want to pass out or have a panic attack. That is what the accommodation plan is for. I just don't want them to think that I am no...

    Sillycat replied to Isthisright's topic in LPN/LVN

    I became an LPN in 2006. I decided to go back to school in 2016, I had to take prereq's, I wanted to do the bridge program but the way it was set up, you still needed prereq's. So I went the traditional route and I am happy that I did. I took two yea...
