Schools for students who dropped out of a nursing program.

Hi everyone, like the title said, I was a nursing student at an institution and I have failed the classes on my first semester due to personal reason. It's been a year now and I want to try for another nursing program because I am really passionate about it, but so far none of the nursing programs in my states and some of the other states want me due to my failure and I believed they said the wait time is 5 years in time. I have decent gpa at 3.0 and an 83 on my TEAS exam. I was wondering if anyone know a nursing school that except students that are drop out of a nursing program. Some of the classes that I have taken are your standard nursing prerequisites Human A&P I & II, Microbiology, Pathophysiology, Biology I & II, Chemistry I & II, and a bachelor in Health Care Administration.

Thank you in advance and let me know if I need to include any additional information.

I have to be honest it sounds like english is not your primary language, and that may be more the problem. I would consider taking an ESL class if you haven't already or getting help with your grammar and writing skills first, that may help. They may not be allowing you in because of your writing abilities.

So rather than helping and offering information about schools. You offer a snide remarks about how a few grammatical errors in my writings. Sorry, if I forgot to proof read my "essay" before turning it in Professor Oakly. Hope you don't use the same attitude towards what you do.

Each school is different, you will have to check on the requirements and GPA may be crucial. I taught in a BSN program and the policy was that students that had failed out of another nursing program were not accepted. 3.0 while decent GPA may prevent admittance. For example, 3.0 was the minimum at the school I taught at, but most semesters, all accepted had 3.5 or above. Also, transcripts will be required and will show the courses you failed & that may hurt you but again each school has own admitting policies. Good luck.

If the truth hurts...

Just bec the cutoff GPA is 3.0 doesn't mean your 3.0 is good enough to be accepted.

Schools have lots of experience with failing students. That's one reason they say they won't take someone who failed before. If they say come back in 5 years, then come back in 5 years. Show them you are more mature and ready to do the job. Fighting their rules and rude remarks to someone that is trying to give you good advice do not help. If nobody will tell you the name of s program that will

take you now it's bec we don't know one. There prolly isn't one, not a real one. Don't go to a fir profit school for big loans just bec they will take you -if they will. Don't say nobody warned you off about that.

I'm not sure what area you are from however on the west coast a 3.0 is not a decent GPA. Every program I'm looked into requires a minimum 3.0 to apply. A decent GPA would be something above a 3.5 in my

humble opinion. And a competitive TEAS score is above a 90%. I hope that in your area the requirements are different and not so competitive.

I'm not saying this to be mean but instead to hopefully make you aware that you are not the most competitive applicant. To make yourself more competitive on future applications I would pay close attention to how you present yourself, especially through your writing. For someone who already has a bachelors degree I question the level of your level of writing.

I have known several students that have failed their first attempt at RN and went onto LPN then bridge to RN.. may consider that route.

You're going to want to get your GPA up, especially having already failed out of a nursing program. 3.0 just isn't going to cut it.

If you're really desperate you could try for-profit schools, but you'll be paying for it for the rest of your life.

Hey OP,

Most of the schools I've seen will not accept a student into their program that failed out of another program. But I have to ask, does the school you failed from only allow you to fail once and then kick you out for good? I'm asking because some schools will let you fail once, allow you back in, and kick you out after a second failure. If your original school will take you back, it might be better to try to work with them and see what you can do to get back into the program.

Ya know, your story, your grammar and your attitude sound familiar.

Have you been here before under another name asking this same question?

And unless OP is already an LPN, the name is against TOS.

You need to learn to recognize constructive criticism. You're asking such a BROAD question---there are HUNDREDS of nursing schools in the US, I'm sure there are a great number of for-profit schools who would be THRILLED to your money. Why don't you try doing some research on your own if you're going to bite the head off of the very first poster that responded to your ridiculous question?
