I am looking for help in writing a professional letter to my local Nursing School Board. I would like the Dean to re-evaluate my position and allow me to re-enter the Nursing program next fall (9/01). The Nursing program has a rule that states you are only allowed 2 times to enter their nursing program. In my case I feel that I have speical circumstances; In 1992 I was in the program, in the middle of the first quarter my home and everything in it,burnt to the ground. I stayed with family part of the time, and friends as well, we ( my husband and children) didn't really have a place to live until the end of the quarter. It was very hard for me to concentrate so I failed. The following year I came back and did well in the first quarter and at the begining of the 3rd quarter I missed remaining in the program, by 0.7% I had 79.3% while I need 80% to remain in the program. It has been over 5 years, since I was enrolled in the program, and I have gotten my AA degree, completed a year long Healthcare Assistant program with a 3.95 GPA I continued to work full time in the local hospital (CCU) while doing all of this. So I feel that I have proven that I am able to handle the stress that a nursing program can give you. What I need is for someone to help me with ideas or writing a letter that can convince the Dean to allow me to re-enter the nursing program again. If anyone has any ideas or can help please let me know.
