They required us to go through/register the board for fingerprinting, background checks, drug screens prior to clinical, and any sort of criminal background checks. It is a requirement for the state of Louisiana nursing programs.

I was hoping to sit out a semester and apply somewhere else and start fresh. I know this involves me starting from scratch and changing schools. I have severe ADHD and the state board has pulled me from all of my prescribed medications that was used to help me to focus and control my ADHD. I have gone through vigorous drug screenings, AA meetings, and NA meetings. I was made out to be a drug addict by the board due to the medication I was prescribed. I never abused ever. I took my medication daily at 6 AM for 6 years and suddenly I'm being asked to attend a rehab facility for 3 days with true drug addicts. Several hundreds of dollars have been spent on weekly drug screens, I'm even being denied pain medication for my injury. I'm not going to lie, I've felt defeated since I've started. And my depression and anxiety are a daily battle but I've never missed a class because I skipped. I've actually only missed one class due to a family emergency and I attended another section of the class. I wouldn't have gone through all of this to give up or make up excuses. and yes, I did communicate with my instructors. I am by no means making an excuse for my failing. I'm just wondering if it is possible to apply to a different school after having failed at a previous school.

I am currently enrolled in a nursing program and in my second semester. My first semester I did not pass a class and had to repeat it. After only taking one class and passing the class I needed to retake, I started my second semester. Unfortunately this semester, I have been overwhelmed with several personal issues and injury to my arm which resulted in a need for surgery (which I have not had yet due to the semester still going on). My concern is that I'm currently not passing a course and I'm not sure I will be passing after I complete my final. Does anyone know the rules on applying to another nursing school after failing a nursing school in Louisiana? Im hoping my school will make an exception due to the stress I'm under, but I understand that rules are rules and some cannot be broken. Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.
