I just failed my final exam in my last semester of nursing school. What if my school doesn’t have a specific readmission policy only an initial acceptance policy?
Like most nursing students, the last semester was extremely difficult with lots of unknown certainties. I did not even find our what my transfer to practice was until a month and a half before I was set to graduate. My GPA was suffering with Kaplan, regular testing, studying and all of my clinicals only available on the weekends which is when I needed to study.
I was out of my Adderall medication the day I took my exam and only failed it by three points my doctor was out of town and did not respond to my request for a refill. After my failed exam, I reached out to my professor and Dean of nursing who both told me that it was a shame I did not have a physician who responded.
I then reached out to my advisor who called the Dean of Nursing in reference to the fact I had ADHD and was out of my medicine and the Dean of nursing said that had I told my professor that I was out of medication and didn’t feel comfortable taking it without it they would have rescheduled. Finding that out after the fact is soul crushing.
Does anyone have any advise for me?
They said I can take the class again in nine months but my GPA has to be a 2.8 but with no policy on readmission requirements where do they get that GPA score?
Can I take any general education classes to up my GPA? Or something I’ve already taken?
I filed an appeal based on the fact I was out of medication and that that I was not aware of the option to reschedule because I was out but it’s highly unlikely to win it.
