Wow, thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it; reading everything has made me feel a little bit better. I've been reading a lot about accelerated nursing & YIKES! It's very intense. Right now I'm in the process of applying to another BSN program but if that doesn't work, I'm going to change majors & see what happens from there. Other than that, I have to figure out how I'm going to support myself since my family isn't willing to support me anymore. Does anyone know how loans work & if a co-signer is always needed for them?

Thank you for replying guys! Yes, I'm thinking of doing just that. Now, I've just got to talk to financial aid..

Thank you for replying guys! Yes, I thinking of doing just that. Get a degree & do accelerated. Now, I've just got to talk to financial aid.

I just found out last week that I didn't pass one of my nursing classes; I'm not allowed back into my current program. What options do I have for me? I know that I still want to be a nurse so I'm not going to give up. Should I switch my major & just get a bachelor's degree & apply to accelerated programs or transfer to another BSN program? I want to be able to achieve my goal in at least 3 years. Will it be possible? FYI, I know why I failed. I already evaluated myself. I just have to study more & not worry about anything else.

To the OP: How are things going for you now? I'm currently in a similar situation. I failed 2 nursing classes & now I'm applying to a new school. If this school doesn't accept me then I'm going to stay in my current college & switch majors. I won't give up nursing if I do switch. I plan to apply to accelerated nursing programs. Please let me know how life has turned out for you. Hopefully, things are looking better for you.

Thanks for replying. When I went into the nursing program, my gpa was just barely above a 3.0 but I struggled really hard to get there. Once I got into the program, I just struggled to stay in the program. Science was never my strong point & it takes me weeks to remember what I've learned. The grades of "C" really brought my gpa below a 3.0 but I didn't mind because I thought I was going to finish the nursing program. I still want to become a nurse because I know that I can be a good nurse. I'm great during my clinicals but when it comes to exams I'm always struggling. If I do get another chance, I'm really hoping I will, I'll definitely just focus on studying & will kill my social life. Has anyone been in an accelerated nursing program?

Last week, I found out that I failed Fundamentals of Nursing II by 4 points. The passing grade of my college is a 75% & you're only allowed to repeat one subject which I already did. Meaning, I am no longer able to continue the BSN nursing program. The college is allowing me to stay as a student but not as a nursing student. Here's some background info: I'm a transfer student so I did all my pre-reqs at a community college & transferred into a nursing program. Now, that I carelessly "flunked" out of this nursing program what should I do? I've thought of some options but after reading some posts on this website I'm not sure if my plans will work. Option A: Apply to other BSN programs. Most programs require a gpa of 3.0 & mine isn't that high right now but I've found a college which only requires a gpa of 2.5 so I'm going to apply to this one. Also, I don't care if my nursing classes do not transfer over. I just want to be able to get back into one. Should I let the school know that I don't mind starting from scratch? Will they take my pre-reqs as well? Option B: Stay in my current college & change majors. Because I have so many credits (almost near 100), I was thinking of changing my major to Psychology & I will still be able to graduate in 2 years. Afterwards, I can apply to an accelerated program which is another 12-15 months. I'll just have a huge loan not that I already don't Option C: Apply to an LPN program. I really do not want to resort to this because it will take me at least another 5 years to get to where I want to be: BSN registered nurse. What do you think? I would like to apply to other nursing programs but I read that some schools do not accept students who have already failed 2 courses but then I've also read that these students who have failed will have to start from the very first nursing course. I wouldn't mind doing that.
