Thank you. I hope I figure something out too. I just don't want to accept that I may not be able to be a nurse because of my stupid anxiety.

So I am in my third semester of nursing school, we are a five semester program. I had simulation and had a really bad panic attack during it, making my performance not great. I eventually did everything I needed to but I did have my panic attack. I have only ever had one panic attack before so I didn't even realize what was happening. I froze and started saying "I don't know what to do" even though I knew what to do. I had no idea that I was having a panic attack. I received a notice that I am being kicked out because of my performance in my simulation. Is there any way that I can fight this? I do not feel that I should be kicked out because of something that I cannot control. Yes, I understand it was bad to have a panic attack but I don't think that should be the end of nursing school for me. I have very good grades and have only missed 2 days of clinical my entire 3 semesters because I had mono. Please, I would love advice.

Hello! I am new to this site and so excited to meet fellow pre nursing/nursing students. I'm supposed to apply for nursing school for the Fall of 2017 and wanted to gauge my success rate of getting in. After this semester I will have completed my general pre-recs and if I do not get in the first time, I don't really know what to do. So as of right now my general GPA is 3.5, my science GPA is 3.4 (I believe). I got two b's in Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. Still have to take Micro and Patho. My school's requirements are a minimum 3.0 GPA and a 2.5 science GPA but obviously want higher grades. Do I have a chance? If not, what can I do? Thank you!!! Forgot to add: They do not have tests for admission. It is just grades and an interview of a RN which you have to write up then reflect if it changed your opinion on nursing. There is not specific mention of volunteering but I suppose it would not hurt my chances.
