I have taken the majority of mine through the community college here. I believe I have all of the pre-reqs they require but will need to complete biochemistry and statistics eventually. I am looking into Straighterline and Clep for those. I don't think they do biochemistry though. As far as I know you have to have all prereqs done and transferred in prior to the April 1 deadline.

Just wanted to wish you luck on this process as I am somewhat in the same boat. I am hoping to be able to join the cohort in June 2016 as well. Hopefully we'll both get in then and be able to help each other out.

Going through the process right now with evaluations so I am hoping to begin in June. I am following this discussion as I am sure a lot of my questions can be answered as well. Congratulations and good luck to you on the start of your journey. :)

You may assume what you want about me and how I act but you have no idea. There are no correct words to say without them being taken the way the reader takes them. I have taken responsibility for my actions. Flying under the radar was not the best thing. I do not make excuse for knowing or not knowing I had failed. Yes you did try to be positive but it was a little too late. I READ every word of what you wrote and I even re-read every word everyone wrote. I chose to say what I said from everyone's posts not just yours. I am a good person no matter what you want to believe. I am not making excuses for how my situation is. I own up to my wrong doings. I am paying the price. I messed up. I know it. Thank you for your words, kind or not, they have all helped me in one way or another.

Yes, I guess you're right. My problem, not yours.

Whoa, wait a minute. Since when did I not take responsibility for my own actions? Because I unintentionally tried to fly under the radar? I accepted the fact that I should have been dismissed but I feel as though I should have been dismissed 6 months ago. And to say that I had no right to take up space in” the classes. Wow. I understand that you think I need to know what is what” but you evidently assume that I am this horrible person who lacks responsibility and makes excuses. This is not who I am. There is compassion and honesty but then there is also just being plain mean. Furthermore, I think you should have compassion for everyone around you unless they have shown that they don't deserve it…not just your patients while you're at work. I understand how everyone would think that I am lacking the responsibility or making excuses for what has happened but I am not. I had lots of issues back when I failed those classes with studying, retaining and test taking, all of which I know were my issues. I have since fixed those and have done very well on every class since then. @Direw0lf, No worries. @Ranax, thank you. Persistence is key. I have had a meeting and have some steps to take now. My only hope is that I have not ruined my chances to get my degree. LoriAngel14, Thank you.

I would like to thank you all for your brutal honesty. As much as some of it hurt to read, it did make me look at this situation in a different light. My words were probably not chosen quite right for this discussion as some of you feel as though I did not pay attention to my grades but I can assure you that I did. I care a lot about my schooling and did follow my grades. It's a little more difficult to get every little detail down in a discussion thread like this. Thank you to those who did realize the point that I was trying to make. I own up to my mistakes. And I have owned up to this one. I am not happy with myself by any means. I have no excuses to make here. It was all me. Again, thank you to everyone who answered me and were brutally honest. Hopefully I will be able to continue on to get my degree but who knows. At this point, I'm so mad at myself for having gone through this that I don't know if I even want to continue.

I am very much aware that I have failed three courses and what the rules are. The problem I have is that it is 6 months later that they have caught this. They, the school, filed an appeal on MY behalf. The student services mgr said that it should go through just fine since it was their mistake. Then it was denied. Do I agree that I should have been dismissed back in March? Of course I do. But, I assume that some students would be just like me and not want to say anything and hope that it would be looked over. I didn't want to go say that I had failed three classes and ask to be dismissed from school. Furthermore, I have so much on my mind as it is with school, job and 4 kids that I didn't even realize that I had failed three classes. It sucks. I am not making mistakes for my failures. I was just hoping someone might have advice for me as I feel like this is wrong to take action 6 months later, then tell me it will just blow over and then it be denied.

I have a huge problem. It is a long story so if you need more details I can provide but I'm going to shorten this here. As of 1 week ago I was dismissed from school due to failing three classes which is their limit. The first two classes I failed was in September 2014, the third March 2015. The school checks everyone's grades after each session. Each session is 8 weeks long. I have since re-taken those classes and passed them as well as 3 other classes. I do not deny that I should have been dismissed but six months later after I've re-taken them as well as further classes? I have been receiving financial aid during this time as well. I don't know if this is right or if I should pursue a second appeal at the national level. Do I file a formal complaint. Do I have any rights here? I hope someone can provide some sort of insight here.

Hi everyone! Just a question that I am hoping someone can help me answer. What role do nurses play in animal assisted therapy (pet therapy)? Just like any other area I am thinking they play a supportive role. Meaning, that they are there to support the patient and provide them with empathy and concern to help them get better. Can anyone offer any other roles that nurses play with regards to this? Thank you in advance. Jennifer
