There's is no missing information. Everything I told you is what it is. Plain as day. It's crazy and unfathomable. It makes no sense, I know. When I tell people the story, they ask the same things. There was no Cheating no HIPAA violations, no funny business at all. None. This is why I immediately hired an attorney.

We were not sharing any answers. We were just checking in on each other. Asking how everyone was doing. I am hiring an attorney to overturn the dismissal , which was grossly out of proportion with the alleged conduct. There were a couple students caught cheating last semester and they were not kicked out so it's hard for me to see texting each other during clinical in our living room, which is unprecedented, a crime befitting dismissal.

Online clinicals was scenarios and med pass and dosage calculations thru program called Swift river ., we had from 12 am to 1159 to get a score of 80 and also turn in three care plans on those patients. Clinical hours was based on our assignment and time that would take which I'm sure was assumed to most the day. It was our first day on that program. This day our DON seemed to be in charge but she wasn't normally., It was our actual clinical instructors. I have never been in trouble for any reason . Not even a little . There was another girl dismissed from our class in December after taking two classes and failing. I know now she turned the chat into the DON. Why two of us were dismissed instead of all 8 of us , is not clear to me. We were all seeing messages as none of them were inappropriate or different from another. I assume they don't want to kick 8 people out but they are OK with two. It's very strange , especially with our current nursing shortage. The chat was not constant. It was over four hours. I sent a total of four messages. There was no clear rules for phones at clinicals except don't take phones out around actual patients and such, and not for when we're at home because of a virus we can't control having to navigate all this new stuff alone. In our syllabus it's clearly states in extreme cases a student can be dismissed without a verbal or written warning but I would hardly classify this as extreme. All I know is it's hard enough to handle all this change and to just kick us out for texting our fellow classmates during this time should be applauded not dismissed.

I am an LPN in a program to bridge from LPN to RN. We were assigned online clinical online 2 weeks ago. We were given instruction on how to sign in and what score we needed to have. Any other questions we could email the DON. I started at 7 am and took breaks. I have kids at home online school as well. I text a group chat of my fellow nursing students around 1034 and asked how everyone was doing, 8 students replied to that task and start other questions, at 1301 , we received an email from our DON that we were to STOP online clinicals because she got reports that were texting each other. None of the text were HIPAA related . WE were simply supporting each other like we always had. I was kicked out the entire program for this. I was told I could not appeal. I have however hired an attorney, this punishment seems way harsh and none of the other students was kicked out except one other student for the same things and she received the same punishment and letter. Do you all think I can get this overturned? I don't understand the harshness ?
