I thank you a million for those words of support courage, and I will definitly keep you all posted.

OMG why does everyone keep talking about med math, I did not fail med math I got an A+ in med math, I failed pediatric nursing by 3 points, I think you guys are mistaking my post with somebody else's.

I'm great at med math, I got an A+ in dosage and calculation. Thing is we're all human and stuff happened. I had some personal circumstance that threw me off focus. Family tragedy that was well described in my appeal letter. About consulting with the instruction, I definitly agree that it does work, but only if the instruction is available and welcoming, she ignored me the whole semester, made me feel uncomfortable every chance she got, and also comented to my classmates about me and my grades(very unethical, big breach of confidentiality). She just wasn't the type that I would go to if I'm having problem. When I asked a question in class, her attitude and facial expression went sour. She could not help herself one day to say something very hurtfull about me to another student. Other than these two course that I've failed with C-, everything else is B and A. My careplans were good and I perfom great in clinical, after all I work in a hospital and I know half of the stuff already. I agree 100% that I need to work on my test taking strategies, tha's why I'm going to check out that book you recomended. Other than that, I think I can be a great nurse, starting over at another program would also cost money, time and energy. Also, if I'm in the hospital one day, I would much rather have a nurse who repeated two courses, mastered them, studied hard in nursing school and went through, what i went through, such nurse would care more about her license and would have a better sense of devotion. Those who passed all their nursing courses with the minimum passing grade C, tend to take life for granted(now that's some scary thought).

Thank you goodnursingstudent fot understanding and defending my point, I'm not fighting the grade, after all it is a genuine reflection of how much of the course content I was able to grasp. All I'm saying is sometimes those appeal process are based on favoritism instead merrit, it's about who you know, your race, skin color, and wether your mother and the chairperson are good friends. As far as I'm concerned, I deserved another chance as much as those before me who have been granted one. The grade is mine and I take full responsibility for it, however we were all created equal, and the"law" should be one for all. I'm sorry if goodoldnurse can't relate. I guess you would have to be in my shoes to be able to understand. Goodnursingstudent thank you for your advice about being cautious with the professors.

I don't want to name the school, but there is a lot of prejudice and disscrimination, both of the student that I know repeated twice are both white, I'm black(not really in my favor) as sad as it sounds "Things haven't changed much:cry:. But it should not be this way, if you can bent the rule for one person you should do it for anyone in the same predicament. I'm also praying a lot, I beleive in God and I know He'll show me the way. Usually when they take you back, they make you wait a year, which is still better than starting over, the course that I failed was only a six weeks course, needed a 75% got a 72%, I still can't wrap my head around that, but I'm staying positive and I'll keep on praying.

I'm thinking of getting a lawyer

Thank you, I live in NY, and NY is such of tough state to advance and progress, they make everything so difficult.

I got kicked out of an RN AAS program 3 weeks ago, six weeks before graduation. I was supposed to graduate on june 12th and on april 17th I failed pediatric nursing. This is my second failure, I repeated fundamentals and therefore I'm not allowed to continue, the school has a rule of one repeat allowed. I'm so lost, invested so much in this and studied so hard, can't sleep, can't eat, can't face my family who was counting on me. Does anyone know of an option where I don't have to start over, a school that will take my nursing courses. I'm not an LPN, I'm a Nurse Tech (Fancy for CNA in hospital) in an emergency room in NY for 4 years now. Please help.

Hi everyone, I'm halfway into a two-year RN program, and many people have told me that after your first year (after MED-SURG) in an RN program, you are automatically eligible to take the NCLEX-PN. Does anyone know if that's the case? And after you register to take the test, how long do you have to wait for an ATT?
