Thanks! I will probably do the RN-BSN track. I think it will be better if I don;t get accepted anywhere. I think there 2 ASN programs within 50 miles of me. Which ever way I decide to go, I will be greatful in the end because I didn't give up...no matter what others may have said.

Firstly, gasguy:devil: , the way that you are talking makes it seem as if I am just plain out dumb!!! True I made a stupid mistake by not studying much at all, but you have to realize I'm human just like you are! Have you ever made a mistake, then realized the mistake and improved whatever downfall you had???? I'm sure it has happened to you. It may not have been in school, maybe some other aspect of your life. The reason I asked for everyone to give input was so that I could get a variety of comments and to hear other peoples' stories. But you know what, in all honesty, its people like you that actually motivate me to want to strive for better! I know whenever I have had a bad day in school or I am having a hard understanding a concept, all I have to do is look at your comment....its sure to get me going! And again, to everyone else, I do appreciate the feedback, and I am taking everything in for my benefit

Hey! thanks again yall! To Wsmith: good luck with getting accepted to the school that you want to go to and congrats on being accepted PERIOD!!! To everyone: you are all such an inspiration to me, its so nice to positive people in your life....even if you dont get to meet face to face or if you only chat once...lol....its still a great thing!!! I just cannot wait for the Fall semester to start back. I am ready to pick myself up and ace all of the classes I failed and then some. :)

Wow!! Thanks everybody! After reading all of your posts I feel like I can accomplish anything!!! Oh and thanks for letting me know that there is hope for me! Academic amnesty???!!! Sounds like a life saver for me! I'll have to check into that. I doubt if they have that though. But it never hurts to ask. Thanks again evryone!!!

I am not a mom and I don't work full-time or anything, but I just had to put my 2 cents in!!! You ladies are just so inspiring to me!!! Good luck to you all, and I pray that you will all become successful nurses one day!

Hi, thanks for replying Despite the fact that Bio was one of the classes that I failed, I can tolerate science classes. I just wasn't studying or anything. It's not my favorite subject but I can get over that. After class everyday I didnt even think twice about going back over notes or anything. It just didnt phase me at all. I seriously regret being stupid for not studying, but I think that this time around I will put forth the effort to do so. I might sound silly but, what is a hospital diploma program? And yes you're right about the school not being the only nursing school around. I believe there are 2 others both an hour away. One ASN the other BSN. Im thinking one of those schools will be my only hope, but I just wait and see.

Here's the story... I started college August 2005. I was not doing as good as I knew I should have been doing. At the end of my first semester I failed my Biology class. So which put my gpa at a 1.5, hmm not good for first semester. So spring (2006) semester rolls around, Im still not doing well. I was under so much stress and I really didnt have anyone to talk to, I was miserable. I failed 3 more classes: History, English, and Algebra!!!!! (I know yall are probably thinking GOSH!!!) But yeah I was going thru a rough moment in my life. So now my gpa is at 0.5. I get put on academic probation and now the next school year I cannot get any financial aid. So I am forced to go a tech school here in the mean time until I could save up enough cash to go back to school. (Started Fall 2006) I have taken some classes at the tech school that will (and will not) transfer and my gpa there is a 3.0. So now I think Im ready to go back to my first college. I have saved up enough to pay for 15 credit hours. I am mentally ready for the challenge. So I have re-applied and now I am waiting to here back from them. Okay so my big question now is, do I continue as a Pre-Nursing major? Would it make sense to apply to the program after I have failed 4 classes??? There, the Nursing program is really strict! They don't even have very many students because they turn down so many of them. So IS THERE STILL HOPE??? All comments would be really appreciated---no matter how short, harsh, or unrelated your comment may be. I'm OPEN.......... Thanks in Advance

Ok, I dont know if you remember me or not but I had the other thread about Sav tech and I said I wasnt going to go again.....BUT I have changed my mind one last time and I am going to go ahead and go thru with the program for various irrelevant reasons. But like I said it is very competitive, and someone told me there is a really long waiting list. I dont know why. I was thinking maybe those were the students whose grades weren't so good....I dont know though. But anyway I will be starting on the 7th of July. When will you be starting if you decide to go? By the way are you from Sav?
