There were a few different circumstances which led to my dismissal. I unfortunately went into a couple finals with a low average which is was caused me to fail. I did go in and see tutors and other nursing staff in order to help me understand materials better. I do not party and I did a lot of studying but still couldn't manage. I was embarrassed to get a diagnosis early enough and that is probably why they looked at the sudden diagnosis as an issue. I have had problems with academics my whole life, it s like a bad cycle that has been occurring since grade school. I am not sure how ADD could be used as a crutch as I have been prescribed medication which is supposed to help me concentrate better. I have heard of individuals being allowed back in with no issues. Do you believe there is another way I could persuade the president to allow me back in? Every other school in my area has such a long wait list.

Upon receiving a letter today signed by my school president stating that my appeal for reinstatement had been denied, I felt my heart drop. The meeting with the appeal committee had in my opinion gone very well and I felt very optimistic that I would be allowed back in. I was recently diagnosed with ADD and had even provided the committee with a written statement, which was accompanied with a doctors note. What should I do now? I feel that if the president of the school signed the letter I am doomed. I was told I have an opportunity to re-appeal the decision, but is it even worth the effort? Disappointment and humiliation cannot even begin to describe what I am feeling at this moment. When I look in my sons face all I see is how let him down and the fact I am not good enough.

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I feel a bit overwhelmed now walking back into the school. I feel the moment I walk through the door I am hit with a wave of anxiety and a heavy weight on my shoulders. I also feel stupid having to take the class again with the same instructor.

I did not pass my class. I failed my final by 3 questions

I am feeling very defeated and distraught over being dismissed from my nursing program. I know i could have pushed myself harder but I am finally going in to see a psychiatrist for ADD. I have had panic and anxiety all of my life and have a hard time dealing with simple stress. I really feel I have this issue and hope to get a diagnosis. I have one chance at filing an appeal and then it is up to the board to decide. I am so embarrassed by this, my entire family was so excited for me and I feel like such a failure. I must say obtaining this degree is unlike any other out there, when people would tell me how difficult it was I thought they were over-reacting, but now I see I should have listened to them. I guess i am just looking for some support from fellow students/graduates that have been through something similar, I haven't even discussed this with my closest friends. Thank you.

I want to take two classes during the summer, they are both difficult. Anatomy and physiology II and math, both would be three hours a piece, four days a week. I also have a baby whom is currently two and a half months old right now, by may 31st he would be 6 months. I am breastfeeding and do still want to continue for at least a year, does this sound feesable? Am I going in over m head by being away for 6-7 hours at a time? I am not working now and am with him all day, will it be too difficult to study for so much compacted coursework with a baby? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I recently went in to ask questions about there LPN program, it seems a little off and disorganized. Class schedules are never regular, they don't really offer any morning sessions and many if not most of the instructors have very heavy accents and don't fully understand what you are asking. The pre courses are very expensive that is why I am taking them at a community college and theyre courses do NOT transfer to any other instituion, I think this holds true for most of the private LPN programs here in Illinois, most are not accredited. It's about 18,000 for the program and about 5k for the pre-reqs.

I live in Chicago and have visited almost every part of Florida, I am actually going to be visiting Ft.Lauderdale at the end on January. I ask anyone here that has ever lived in Florida and they have nothing but terrible things to say. They tell me the schools and education systems are bad and that the majority of the population have low Iq's and are poor. I don't know why this is, everyone seemed pretty normal to me?? I would like to move there one day and start a new life with my husband but I'm worried about salary and job placement for both himself and I. Why are some peoples experiences so bad, its so beautiful and the people are very nice. I just don't get it. Can someone help me understand why this is??
