Thanks aheartsaverrn!! This is excellent advice anyone know who I could contact to confirm whether or not I could take the NCLEX-PN in the state of Mass? Also, I want to thank all of you who have been compassionate & thoughtful in your responses. This has not been easy for me, but I'll climb my way back and I'll do whatever it takes. Unfortunately, I can not share all of the details...but I will be sure to let all of you know how this turns out. For now, you have all restored my faith in this humble profession, and that is probably what I need MOST at the moment. REDFACE

I'm a big believer in things happen for a reason, but this is a very TOUGH lesson to digest. I know I'm cut out for nursing, there is no question there....and I even know where I'm best suited. I just need to finish these last few requirements.

Thanks ESME 12, your comments are VERY insightful. I've exhausted all of my options, and I am hitting the phone lines, networking & anything else I can think of...including posting on this forum! It's been very frustrating, embarrassing, and extremely unjust, but I NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. So any advice is MUCH appreciated!!!

Hi ~ Thanks for your reply, my situation was very complicated & I'm not going to get into details here, it's inappropriate. I'm simply looking for advice on how to move forward. I appreciate you well wishes though....REDFACE

hi, i need some sound advice about my situation. i completed 3.5 semesters of an acelerated bsn program in the boston area and was dismissed due to a clinical failure 3 weeks from graduation. i had excellent grades, and even made the dean's list a few times. (and for the record, i did not put a patient in any harms way. it was strickly a political/personality situation, and unfortunately i have no recourse so i need to move forward.) i've looked into a few other schools, but they do not transfer upper lever [color=#ae04e8]nursing courses which means i'd have to re-take nearly all of the classes i already passed. (that is if they accept me because of my clinical failure!!) this is a really tough pill to swallow, and i'm not getting any younger. i can't fathom starting over from scratch again, so i'm looking to anyone in this forum who may have some reliable advice. (i was told from one school that they would accept two classes, but that was about it. they also have a board you can petition, but that is a time consuming process and it's not always a guarantee.) will i be forced to watch all my hard-earned credits drift out to sea??? it's just heart-breaking. i'm so close to finishing.....i need some realistic ideas about other options. are there any schools in the boston area that will tranfer my hard-earned upper-level nursing credits??? unfortunately, relocating is not an option for me at this time. praying for a response(s) that will set me on a new track so i can finish what i started. red face:mad:
