I do not have the heart to start completely from scratch at another school. I am 49 yers old. I did fine in all my Gen-Ed classes but I have no idea if they will transfer to another school now. The last class I failed about 50% of the entire class failed. It was a 6 week course. We had three tests the last week and they totaled 55% of our grade! If half of the people fail a class that tells me that it is not just a problem with the students. I know about alternative routes, for example, becoming an LPN first and then continuing on and I am looking into that. But has anyone flunked out and gotten accpeted somewhere else. I have search this site and cannot find an answer yet. Thanks for your replies so far.

I am in the same boat. I just flunked out of Baptist College of Health Sciences in the same city and I have searched high and low for an alternative option but to no avail so far. I can't believe that if you flunk two classes that you are completely blackballed from getting in anywhere else. It is very discouraging. I am thinking of getting into an LPN program with the HOPE that if I try an Online LPN to RN/BSN that they might accept the credits from my old school. I have to call some online programs to find out. 3 years of nursing school, a $30,000 debt and I don't even qualify to become a CNA unless I go take a CNA program.

Are you sure she got accepted there? I just looked into that programa and called thema nd they said you had to have some type of medical licensure first, LPN, paramedic, surgical technologist, etc. There was one exception. If I had completed over 50% of my clinicals then I could be accepted but I did not get that far. Maybe your friend did. If for some reason she got accpted anyway please let me know what she did. I would really appreciate that. Thanks.

To make a long story short, I flunked out of nursing school, a BSN program, and I am finding that other schools do not even want you to apply after that has happened. They require you to be in good standing with your previous school but I am not since I got an academic dismissal. It may be like this everywhere but the school I went to only allowed you to make below 77 on two nusring courses and your'e out. My BIG question is: has anyone failed out and gotten accepted into another program somewhere else? How did you do it? What did you do? Also, if I become an LPN and want to apply for an online LPN to RN or LPN to BSN, will they have the same restrictions, even if I start from being an LPN, or will some of them accept my credits from my old school? I really appreciate any help you may have. I have searched this forum and found similar questions but I have never found anyone who said they flunked out of an RN program and was accepted into another one. That is my main question.

Union is an excellent school and they offer several programs. LPN to BSN, RN to BSN, Accelerated BSN and a 4 year BSN. They do NOT have an LPN program. TN Technology Career Centers, which has many locations in TN, is one of the few places left to get an LPN degree. I am not sure where you live but Northwest MS Community College also offes it. Also Jackson State Com, College in Jackson TN has it too. After you become an LPN there are plenty of LPN to RN or LPN to BSN programs that you can get into' many of them are online and have the exact same certifications as other qualified schools.
