Notes.., Thanks for actually answering the questions I love the quote. Its exactly what I told my son. We also have a favorite family quote "Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome". He did inquire about help midway through his first round of the class and again on the second and didn't really get much assistance. Unfortunately its one of the larger schools and you are bit of a number at some of these schools. He did get a brief exit interview as well. He is already checking into other programs and I am sure he will be back on track soon with either direction he takes.

OK, as the OP, I did come here for advice on his options, not on my parenting skills or the assumption my son is some loser sitting around playing video games all day and that's why he failed out. He actually left a Biochemistry major, where he was a 4.0 student to go into the nursing program and he remained a 4.0 student until this one class. He legitimately had an issue with this one class, he went through all the normal channels for assistance, and fell a few points short. I don't think his only option is to crawl under a rock and resign himself to working at Burger King for the rest of his life. I will now move on from this post and not waist any more of my time here or on this site again. I respect and thank those of you who have offered real advice, but I have no extra time to get into a ******* match with the rest of you.

Rose Queen, GRN Tea - Wow!! Nice bedside manner, and I bet you don't have kids!! Its a good thing that human compassion wasn't a requirement when you were in school, back in the day, or you two would have been in trouble. I'll take my son's willingness to help the average person over your academia insulting attitudes any day! ..."༄❀Proud member of the Crusty Old Bat Society❀༄"... nuf said.

Hello, All I am looking for advice for my son who found out today that he is being withdrawn from a BSN program here in Atlanta, Georgia at Kennesaw State since he has failed out of the same class twice. I am not in the field so I am hoping someone here can let me know what his possible options are for continuing towards an RN. A little background, he has his AS in pre-nursing, was a certified CNA/PCT at one point, has a 3.5 GPA, he was 1.5 years into the nursing program and would have graduated this spring. He still has an appeal process to see if they will reinstate him for summer term. My questions would be: 1) Should he try to apply to another school or schools? For either a BSN or a 2 yr RN program? Will any of his nursing credits transfer or will another program make him start at the beginning anyway? Realizing not all programs are created equal, could he potentially get through another nursing program easily? I would hate for him to get into another program only to be in the same position again in about a year and further in debt. 2) Having completed 3/4 of the program does this make him eligible for any certification as an LPN, CNA, phlebotomist, etc? Or could he get an LPN fairly quickly? Again would he be starting at the beginning again? Its just extremely frustrating that he has nearly two years invested, and thousands of dollars in loans, and the school is basically saying sorry you missed this by standardized test by 3 questions, your out! Any help would be appreciated thank you!!
