Resume

This past summer I was dismissed from the FPMHNP program at Rush University due to failing a class. I am retaking this course this semester. I have reprioritized my life and am ready to move on and earn my degree. My question is when applying to another university how do I list my time spent at Rush University?

    Was this a NP class? How are you able to retake if you were dismissed? I wouldn't lie on your resume or application but I would address it in any essay or entry statement why you are changing universities. You can say something like events of your life required you to take some time off, and now you are ready to pursue your degree at so and so university. Then make a positive statement on why you chose the new university. Good luck in your future!

    Honesty is the best policy. If you try to deflect the blame, they will recognize that you have not learned from your mistake. However, if you own up to your mistake and being specific, identify how you have changed and are going to approach things differently in the future they might consider giving you a second chance.

    I would also suggest that you discuss this issue with advisors from several programs, as they might have experienced this situation before and have recommendations for ways to mitigate the negative impact on your application.

    Good Luck!

    There is no reason to include a period of study that you did not complete, and did not result in any kind of degree/certificate/diploma, on a resume'. However, the actual application form for other programs may ask you to list all the schools you've attended, and you should certainly list Rush in that case, and be prepared to discuss what happened there, what you've learned from the experience, and what you've done to make sure the same thing is not going to happen again without sounding defensive or blaming the school. Best wishes!
