It is! I'm happy I asked for advice on here because I wouldn't of thought of most of the things people told me! I just don't want to make the same mistake twice so I have to go the extra mile and do more! thanks for asking í ½í¸€

Yes i have and i feel 10000000 times better. The dean told me I do have a fair chance. She said because None of my nursing clinical courses transferred and I'll be starting over completely with clinicals that me failing another program won't be counted against me. They give students a fair chance and that's not how their enrollment process works. It would've been different if I had tried to pick up where I left off. I meet the requirements but the only thing that determines if I'm accepted into clinicals is if I pass the pre req nursing class that everyone has to take which I heard is very tough! I made friends with some students that's in the program and got them to send me the syllabus and the books they used! I have been reading and getting a head start on things before the spring semester begins.

wow! That's great! I'm happy you decided not to give up! Your story gives me hope! I hope one day I'll be telling the same story to someone that happens to be in the same position I'm in one day in the future :) thank you for the encouraging words!

I failed a course by 1 point and I appealed and they granted it and then revoked it because the class I failed was 9 credits and killed my gpa! The appeal committee didn't look at all of that before granting my appeal. They didn't catch the mistake until after I went to summer school and paid an arm and a leg and I couldn't drop the summer courses bc it was past the drop date. Once my appeal was revoked I was dismissed from the program. The serious problem was my gpa dropped so low after that 9 credit course.

For the record everyone. I do not have a problem with anyone's responses. Some are blunt and straight to the point! I have no problem with that! My situation is not perfect so I don't expect anyone to baby me or tell me everything will be okay. I just wanted to clarify that. Please be straight forward! The advice has been great.. tell me your experiences. If I don't know something, educate me, don't belittle me. you learn new things everyday and I'm learning from every one of these comments! Thank you

you starting to understand why I failed out of nursing school? Lol You don't even know me personally but you understand why I failed? I won't even tell you what I really want to tell you. But thanks for the advice!

Thank you! I'm meeting with the dean this week! 8 will definitely ask this question! Thank you :)

I agree. Some are rude but the advice and tips are great! I tried the Lpn route and was accepted and then I couldn't get any financial aide. I would've had to pay $655 monthly to the school, which would've been extremely hard to do and try to focus on school

your statements on being mean is irrelevant. Everyone have the right to say what they want to say. & if I think some of the comments are rude then that's my opinion! I wasn't yelling I was capitalizing to make sure you understood that I don't feel any type of way towards any of the comments on my thread! All the advice and tips is important to me whether is was rude, negative, positive or whatever. It's just you blowing things out of proportion. Have a nice day ma'am, and thank you for your two cents and advice! I appreciate it.

yes! Exactly! None of my clinical courses will transfer. & was hurt at first! But it's something I got over. I had to put my pride aside and go after what I really wanted. Anywhere I go I will have to restart all clinical courses.

I NEVER SAID " THAT I DIDNT WANT TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY " ! if you being real about a response & giving me advice I have no problem with that! I'm taking everyone's advice and all the tips given to me. WHETHER ITS SOMETHING I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT OR DONT WANT TO HEAR! But some people's comments are very rude and bluntly stated!! But do you see me commenting back to them telling them that?? No, if that's how they are expressing their points of view on my situation then there's nothing I can do about that. Don't come on the thread trying to blow things out of proportion and jumping to conclusions. I can't expect everything to be all peaches and cream when my situation is not even peaches and cream. I wasn't expecting comments to be sugar coated an nice when in reality it's not like that.

i regret saying anything about my failings, because i am judged just based off of that and it's so hard to find a school to accept you. thanks for the advice, and i will def keep you updated.

That is awesome that students are given a second chance and not judged by their past. I hope, for my sake, that everything goes well and that is the case for me. This makes me happy.

I was was very surprised too being that this is people who have went through the struggle of nursing school. I still took their advice into consideration though. But thank you for your honest and sincere comment! Thank you for the encouraging words.

thank you! That was very kind. Thanks for the great tips and advice!

umm I posted it because I wanted to know if anyone has ever had this problem! I know my school has the last say so, but some of the comments have been really helpful, especially on how to take action! I'm sorry you feel like I can't ask a question that I'm concerned about!!!!

thank you! I am not giving up! But times like this can get even more discouraging! Your story has motivated me and has given me hope.

I agree that they do have pretty low requirements considering that I'm coming from probably the hardest nursing school in LA. the school requirements are: to have a GPA of a 2.75 and above and make a 75% or higher on the Hesi entrance exam, and also have at least a C in all pre reqs. To them a GPA of a 3.09 must be considered competitive because other wise i don't understand why they would tell me that. I also scored in the 80s on my Hesi and they look at previous experience, which i have been in the medical field since 2013. I meet all requirements and i have a great background when it comes to experience. The real issue here is my past failings. This is what they will see and will judge. All of the other things is not a problem from what i was told, just failing. i understand that others will be admitted before me. I knew that before even applying, because they deserve to be admitted. Im worried because it seems like no one gives you a second chance. the first thing they look at is that you failed out of nursing school once. But that doesn't mean that I'm not capable. That doesn't mean that i can't prove myself or fix my mistakes. That doesn't mean that i won't succeed the second time. I appealed at my previous nursing school and my appeal was granted. They made me take summer courses and the day after the drop date, they contacted me and told me my appeal was revoked and that i could not return.

I failed out of the program because my home situation wasn't the best. I won't put all my personal business out there, but i was in a pretty messed up unstable situation that resulted in a lot of stress. i was a very attentive student regardless of what was going on in my life. I studied every single day and i knew my material, but my true struggle was that i just couldn't pass the test. It didn't matter how long i studied, how much i knew the material front to back, or how many times i taught my classmates material they didn't understand, NCLEX style questions were my weakness. i also had to work to provide for my family and pay bills. I didn't receive extra time until the 3rd test because i didn't even know about that. When i had gotten extra time my grades had went up 20 points and more but by that time the semester was almost over and it wasn't enough to save my grades. I appealed and provided as much evident as i could. The Nursing school granted my appeal, made me go to summer school, and then revoked my appeal and told me that i could not return. I wasted a lot of money and those summer classes didn't count towards anything.

Thank you for understanding. Before applying to the school i met with the Assistant Dean and i explained my situation. i also made copies of my appeal and the evidence that i provided for my appeal. My appeal was granted at the school i failed out of and then they revoked it. The Dean was aware of my past and my situation. I provided as much evidence as i could to show that i was in a bad situation that led to me failing. She is the person who encouraged me to apply. She is the one who gave me guidance and told me what to do. However, she did not mention that my past failings would be considered when selecting students. I understand that other students will be considered before me, and they should. But what i am saying is, i was told to apply and it was a 2nd opportunity being that i had been searching for the past year to transfer and had no luck. All i am saying is, my past is my past. everyone learns from their mistakes. It doesn't mean that i should just be eliminated immediately without even considering that i can't do better. when i failed i was completely devastated, and it took a long time to pick myself up from that. i thought about what i did wrong everyday and how i could correct it if given another chance. But once you fail it's like no one wants to give you a 2nd chance. everyone's nursing program is different, and just because i failed out of one program does not mean that i am not capable of doing well in another. i appreciate you understanding from my point of view and they others and not just being one sided like some of the comments.

The school that I was accepted into is a private institution! When I spoke with the director she told me I couldn't transfer from college to college but I could enter in as a " traditional " student which would be the the requirements that's considered for students applying to clinicals. I just assumed when she told me that and when registering the advisor told me I was considered " competitive ". It's just after the comment today it had me worried, being that I'm about to pay 3 times the tuition I was paying at the previous school! This sucks

Is there something I could do? Or someone I should speak to about my situation? Before applying I spoke with the director of the nursing program and she told me I could enter in as a traditional student, so I didn't need a letter of good standing to transfer. She also said that I would only be required to meet the minimum requirements and the transfer student requirements. But after today what the assistant told me actually has me worried. I've been out of nursing school for a year. & if I was told I could enter in as a traditional student and meet the requirements fair and square, why does my previous college courses has to be taken into consideration?
