I'm having the same problems. My teacher actually told us that we shouldn't question what she says because she's the one with a license. I'm in the same situation as you with the tests too. Every week we take the test, she goes over the answers, and the next morning when scores are posted, there are always several people whose scores are lower than they were expecting. With this week's test, half the class scored three points lower than they should have, but we have to wait until next week to schedule appointments to go over our tests with the teacher. And her idea of scheduling an appointment isn't actually scheduling an appointment, it's waiting in line outside her office after class ends.

Your schools minimum passing grade? 76% Your Lab policy? Is it a seperate grade from your lecture? If so how many points/exams do you have? Lab is included as part of the clinical, which is a pass/fail class. To get a passing grade, we have to get checked off on 90% of lab skills and pass 76% of clinical tasks/assignments. If you fail a course when are allowed to re-take it? On a space-available basis, as early as the next semester. How many times can you re-take a course until you are expelled? You can retake one course one time.

My WIA grant pays $4000 for my LPN program. But I also have a Pell Grant, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

My state allows you to work as a "Nurse Aide Trainee II" after you complete clinicals but before you take the state test. I started going to nursing homes and applying a few days after my clinicals ended, and the third place I applied interviewed and hired me on the spot.

I too got a B in A&P. I was worried about it because my school only looks at GPA, and a counselor told me they usually get about 80 applicants and only accept 40. But I got accepted the first time I applied, and I'm starting nursing school in January, so it's definitely possible.

For number 2, you should never try to contact an inmates family... Because inmate phones and mail are monitored, inmates sometimes try use staff to communicate with people outside the prison, but this isn't allowed. If, for some reason, they can't contact family/friends themselves, they need to discuss that with their unit counselor. Prisons do have mental health services. In the prison I worked at, if an inmate threatened suicide during a weekday while mental health was there, they handled it. On nights and weekends, a nurse would talk with the patient and then contact the on-call mental health professional and explain the situation, and the MHP decided how to proceed. Usually, the MPH would speak to the inmate over the phone, sometimes "contract for safety" (meaning the inmate would agree not to hurt himself), and then mental health would follow up in-person with the inmate the next day. If the MHP thought the inmate was an immediate risk and couldn't wait for an in-person follow up, they contacted the on-call psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist gave a verbal order for the inmate to be placed in an observation cell.
