Second chance

Editorial Team / Admin · Apr 6, 2015

Welcome to AN! We'd like to help you out, but there is a lot of information lacking that would assist others in helping you- what state/geographical location you're in would be a big first help. The other thing you can try is looking at the admissions requirements of other schools in your area, and you can always call them to find out if they accept students who have been dismissed from other programs. Keep in mind that if you have already taken any nursing classes, it is unlikely that any of them would be accepted by another school. Prerequisites may or may not transfer, but it is very rare that nursing classes are accepted as transfer credits due to the individualized nature of a school's nursing curriculum.

Thank you For actually replying me.I live in the Atlanta Georgia area.it has been very difficult,I will be graduating in May with a BS degree in psychology.The answer I keep receiving is that they don't accept dismissed nursing students and nursing is all I want to do...

Please, I just need some direction.

Thanks again,

Depends on what the reason was for your dismissal. You might consider addressing that upfront, having a good plan in place to remediate, working that plan, and then moving to another area to reapply.
