If I couldn't handle the test taking I dont think I wouldve made it out of 1st semester. But I managed to make it to 3rd. But I want to become a nurse, I learned from my mistakes and if theres another school that's willing to take me I'll be ready. Private school is my second to last resort, but I'll look into it. But right now I just have to see what I gotta do to move forward.

Look, I didnt want ANY pity from anyone, thats pathetic. I just wanted some honest opinions and although some are saying give it up and others are saying weigh my options first, at the end of the day I want to be a nurse still. It may be grim right now, but whatever, I'll find another way. Like I said earlier, giving up is my LAST resort. I didn't go halfway through nursing just to give up.

Thanks. If my options don't pan out right now, I might just have to try LVN school.

Well, I know for sure a nurse is what I want to be, and the truth hurts sometimes, but in my opinion my gpa only matters on an academic level. I may have failed in theory but in clinicals I excelled. Knowing that I know for sure I shouldn't give up because of 1 percent. Maybe my test taking skills just need to be worked on but I know in my heart the clinical portion is my strong point and a nurse is what I'm going to be no matter what obstacles come. Just because I'm a bad test taker doesnt mean I'm a bad nurse. Thanks for your opinion

At least youre being honest. But in the end, I still want to be a nurse and if I have to do whatever it takes to become one, so be it. So they don't accept my appeal letter, so be it. I'm starting to realize that the road is more difficult than others and if I was chosen to travel it than whatever. I didn't make it halfway to realize its not going to work out. But thanks, maybe LVN school than a bridge might be the route to go if my options right now dont pull through.

Giving up is my very last resort. I didn't make it halfway through my program just to give up.

Thanks. I guess in my situation thats all I can do. Trying to stay positive! Maybe theyll accept my appeal

I didn't fail 2 nursing schools, I failed 2 classes in one program. I already know what I did wrong in the two classes I failed, and I am willing to try again if given another chance. but by the looks of my situation I'm not sure if I should move on to other things

Im not sure if my science pre reqs will still be applicable due to recency. Im nearing the 7 year recency deadline and if I spend time getting my gpa back up its going to be up.

I did write an appeal letter to get back in, but that won't be looked at until late February. I failed twice in one program so I was dismissed.

Thanks I'll try to look around. I just feel so lost and with my low GPA I feel like its the end. Private school is my last resort but I did not want to go that route.

I'm not sure about going for an LVN because I heard if you reach a certain point in my program you can already challenge the LVN boards, and I read here thats its more difficult than RN school. And forking out extra money for private school is my last resort. I was thinking about advanced placement but I think thats only for students in good standing (no fails). Thanks for your reply.

Hello all, So last week I found out that I failed Nursing School. I was 1% away from passing and was devastated that I was THAT close to passing. I was in an advanced Med-Surg class in my 3rd semester. When I went to talk to the director of the class she said that I can transfer to other schools but I heard from a counselor at another school that no nursing schools do not take students that fail twice. Also, my 2nd F on my transcript caused me to drop to a 2.4, .1 short of minimum GPA requirements for other schools. I don't wanna waste time taking irrelevant classes just to raise it again and if I do my recency of my sciences will be non-void and I will have to take those again and I don't want to because I got all B's on those. Should I even bother applying to other community colleges? Should I try applying for the LVN boards? I'm trying to stay positive but with my GPA dropping below minimum and the fact that my director and my professor kind of leaving me in the dust its been difficult. I don't know if I should look into private schools, hope that other schools will take a student with a 2.4 average, or just bow down and move on knowing I tried my best. Thanks.
