tx i will

yea, i did and she said there is no policy but this is just how they have always done it so she said no that i had to appeal with the student committee affair.....

tx everyone... i did have some real life hardships and have brought them up but it has only been to prove that through all of that i was still able to maintain good grade and i brought in lots of letters from other students to prove i was in study groups and as well as my daughters lawyer wrote me a letter and her therapist to back up what i have said about what was going on. my case is it is the school policy that you pass the final with a 75 and your ending avg. has to be a 75 well i got a 74 on my final so i went into the final with a 80 and still have a 79 avg. but they will not allow me to go onto nurs.III. what i am appealing is to review my final, that they will not allow me to see and that is not a policy. oh... in the past they would allow students who went into the final with a passing grade to retake the final if they did not pass the final, but only if the retake would allow to still have a passing avg. at the end. now this semester they decided at the end of the semester they were not going to allow this but they never notified any of the students so we were not aware of this, so when the students that did fail the final try to request a retake to our surprise it was denied. so that is how my appeal began and i have tried speaking to the director of nursing as well as the dean and they said i have to appeal with the student committee which is what i am in the process of doing. i am waiting to here from the school as far as a date and time to go and appeal. what i am asking for is either let me retake the final or give me a point for one of the questions i felt were unfair. one of the questions asked how do you prevent nosicomial infections??? well they had a picture of a nurse all scrubbed up except her toop half of the mask was off. so the lst two best options were take the mask off or wash your hands before cont. to put on the mask.... i was not sure and they always stress hand washing hand washing hand washing, so i thought this was a trick question. they always tell us the right answer does not have to be there you have to pick the best answer from what you have. well the correct asnwer was to take it off because she was in the cafeteria and i picked the hand washing answer, well how was i suppose to know that there were no signs or food or anything it appeared as if she were finishing get into her scrubs for the OR.... to me non made sense..... so i just need 1 point to move on and do not believe they are going to give it to me. so any advise on how to go into this appeal to win would be greatful and very appreciated... tx

:(so i'm a nursing II student in a private mass. college. our policy is u must pass wit a 75 final grade as well as get a 75 on your final to move on to nurs.III. usually if u go in with a 75 to take the final and you don't get a 75 on the final they normally let you have a retake of the final. however this is not in the nursing handbook, it is just sumthing they would let you do. but this semster they said no retakes. so go figure i go in with a 79 and get a 74 on the final and still have a 77 for a grade but i failed. now i appealed it so i can have a retake. they said no, no retakes i failed. can anyone please help me. has anyone gone thru this. how do i handle this the right way to win and be able to move on to nurs. III or retake the exam..... PLEASE SOMEONE ANYONE HELP ME I'M DESPERATE.......:confused::confused::confused:
