I wanted to put my word in. I attended a highly corrupt school and was failed on a skill. You can look up the thread under 'Advice Needed' which I keep meaning to update. Anyway, at this point the State is investigating because the school is failing...

Tell your friend that it is against the American Disabilities Act for the dean to discriminate against her for health issues. She does not have to submit any personal information to this Dean....I would like to add that as a Dean of a NURSING SCHOOL...

UPDATE ON 'ADVICE NEEDED" I received a call today from the Chair of the Division. She stated "I was unable to resolve the situation". She claims that "..because I did not receive your letter of appeal until December 19th, I was unable to to meet wi...

Update: Just wanted to let you all know that I have been reinstated while the appeal goes through. They re-enrolled me (because somehow I got dis-enrolled without my knowing it--go figure). I am continuing on to the College Appeals Board but for n...

Exactly! If I let them do it their way I'd either repeat 3rd semester without a fight (and out of a few more thousand dollars), or if they denied my readmission(which they have been doing to all 'failures' since last semester) I would have had to wai...

I totally hear what you are saying but when it comes to a legal issue like an appeals process every move I make must appear to be professional and non threatening. If I go in there they could easily (and believe me, I wouldn't put it past them) say t...

Thank you Jov! I was on the right path with my research but having trouble connecting the dots until your brilliant insight....I owe you!!

I could, but I am making a paper trail on their dishonesty and lack of integrity when dealing with their students......I can wait because they are just sinking their own ship by blatantly disregarding laws set in place to protect not only the student...

She just stated that she was 'not able to resolve the situation' and forwarded it on to the Provost (President of Student Affairs). The problem is that I STILL don't have a copy of my documentation. So, I sent off another letter today stating that ...

This past semester my clinical instructor was on her cell phone constantly during clinicals. She has 3 kids who are 'homeschooled' (How with her gone all day was always a mystery- although they are teenagers so I guess they home school themselves!!)...

UPDATE: I received her letter via Federal Express today. Yesterday she was smugly laughing "Well....I'll do my best..." when I was adamant that she respond by January 3rd. I reminded her that the student code of conduct states that she has ONLY 15...

I hope I win too!! HaHa. The problem that in 3 semesters what I have seen is NOONE fights this school. We are in a small area and they are soooo intimidated. Well, I'm not afraid. Heck, I'm losing a semester anyway because they fail us so late it ...

I'm sooooo sorry you are going through this as well. Is it the same type of situation? These nursing schools need to get with the current millenium and deal with the fact that you can't treat people as if they have no rights.

Thank you for your prayers...It is greatly appreciated and, being that is not an isolated incident, change needs to effected so that NOONE ever experiences all of their hard work eradicated....

I have considered bringing my case to a director of another nursing program but, considering my GPA is now a 2.6, my first priority is to correct the GPA of a 2.6 so that I have a chance of getting in to another program. As it stands I have not 'Off...

I have proof it was received by December 7th, 2006, because she wrote a letter to my attorney stating the date she received it. The letter went on to demand that I write, and sign, the letter of appeal. She needed to ask for a letter from me (not m...

I believe that in my program there is such a prolonged HIGH LEVEL of stress knowing we can fail the week before finals that it causes an actual chemical imbalance!! You are constantly in the Fight or Flight mentality which means when you are fighting...

I am posting to this forum to tell a looong story and would appreciate any feedback if there are ANY other nursing schools who do what happened to me. In my school there is great anxiety and tension because we have a skills performance at the end of...

"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." -Benjamin Franklin Thank you Jov, I'm looking into the links.. You're awesome

I think you go to the director again and the first thing that she will hopefully understand is that, being the only parent left for your child at this time, that you would greatly appreciate not being sent to the clinical one hour away. That would r...

MESSAGE TO JOV: The articles are incredibly enlightening. Do you know of any others. These help me enormously. I cannot thank you enough!!

Thank you! How would the ANA be able to help? I wasn't aware that they assist students. Thanks for any information!

MESSAGE TO JOV: I found the articles and paid to download them. I am about to read them. I hope they help. Thanks.

That is my first priority----salvaging my GPA, hopefully because I worked so hard and wanted to go on and get my BA and then my Master's. That won't be happening with a 2.6 that they left me with. MESSAGE TO JOV: Can I access these articles online...

Thank you brattyone and everyone! I have all of the rules and regs from the agency which overrides all of the colleges where I am at because I started seeing this in 1st semester and knew that it was wrong. So, one of the things I started looking i...
