brissygal- than you so much- I am new to the site so I am not sure I replied correctly- but I just want to tell you how much your kindness means

do you think that going to school in another state, I would get the same results?

wow thanks so much, I think this is the first time I have stopped bawling since I found out I really appreciate your tips. I asked the school if i could appeal but they said there is nothing to appeal as I was not terminated, does this sound right? Also do you thin that it would be inappropriate to contact that hospitals legal department? I would like to talk to them and explain the situation instead of just being a name on the paper. Also dont you think te school has an obligation here? I mean they let me enter the program fully informed and I turned in clearances every year. How can they hav elet me get this far, and collect money make me pay for books etc term after terme only to take it all away. I had so many plans after graduation, I was finally going to move into a better neighborhood etc.. man I just feel like I failed my children, they were counting on this and they deserve better you know.

I was informed that a felony charge must have occured at least 20 years ago to even be considered, at this point it has only been ten.

yes it was a conviction- and what is a RN JD? If it would help I would certainly try to get an attorney, i just don't want to put out $$ on a wild goose chase. I just feel like this has been so much wasted time. I thought about a transfer but you knw no school is going to accept all those core nursing classes. Furthermore my current job is expecting me to trsf into a nursing position, what am I going to tell them. I cant tell them about that charge. man I dont know what I am going to do? Also am I going to have to pay the school back all this money for nothing. I just cant accept that thia was all for nothing I put my all on this for me and my children. Even if this happened in the beginning but to come this far.. I mean it was in my hand.

thanks so much for your responses= I have been informed by the school that they cant any alternative clinicals would have to be approved by the state board and that they can not offer me an alternate experience. I just feel like the rug was pulled from under me. I mean I had everything riding on this and I finally saw an end in sight and in an instant it is all gone

Hi I am currently a nursing student in my next to last rotation. Upon entrance to the program I informed my program director of an aggravated assault charge on my record. She said it would be fine and not to worry about it esp b/c it was ten years ago. I was forthcoming and turned my clearances every year with the offense on them. Well I have gone through the whole program and am now at my last rotation ob/peds, I have now been inforned that the pediatric facility will not accept me for clinical due to my record and subsequently can not finish the program. I am devestated, I mean this is ny last class and my life depends on this. I cant believe i went through this whole program for nothing. does anyone have any advice I dont even no where to look for help
