Hi, I'm currently a student of SWAU (southwestern adventist university). I just started a thread not too long ago about a situation that I'm in. Just a word of caution, when applying to this program, you need to make certain and sure that you're speaking to the right people. They have communication problem, you need to watch your own back. I'm sorry to say, I know every school has their own problem, but the communication in this school is just THAT bad. They change their policies mid-year, so keep your eyes open if you're in the program or applying to the program. It is easy to get in, hard to stay in. Reason: they will use every excuses and chances (it seems) to kick you out of the program. if you have any other questions you can ask me on a private message or so. I realize this is an old thread though.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the AN site. I do have a question about my current nursing predicament. I am currently a student at Southwestern Adventist University in Keene, TX. My school's passing rate is 84% (B) for Fundamentals and Physical Assessment (Health Assessment) class, the rest of the courses after (junior-senior level classes) are subjected to the 76% minimum passing rate. My school just changed their policy that if you don't make the minimum passing rate for fundamentals and physical assessment class you are not eligible to reapply to the program (basically, you're out!). I can't even withdraw (W) without being barred from reapplying. Basically, according to my school, if you withdraw (W) from either classes you're not eligible to reapply, and if you waited and scored less than 84% you're out as well since you failed the program. I'm feeling a little bit trapped. My questions: 1. I know some schools allow course transfers, and most accept a C or B- nursing courses, but they want you to be "in good standing." Since I cannot reapply for my current nursing program, even if I scored an 83.7% ( which is still a B), does that mean I'm not "in good standing" any longer? 2. If I withdraw (W) from my current nursing program and they consider that it is not acceptable and bar me from reapplying, will that be equal to not "in good standing"? Thank you. :)
