stressed out!!

[monkeesilly]

I am so stressed out! I was in school for the Associates degree, it took longer than expected due to kids, financial problems, etc. So I was in school for 3 years. The school I was attending made me sit out for a year due to the policies if one takes longer than 3 years, they have to sit out a year. I only have one class that is called the "NCLEX review class." It is NOT required by the city, state, or BON to get your license or to even graduate to sit for the boards. I had too much going on and I ended up dropping that class so they made me sit out a year. Now that I am trying to go back, they are trying to tell me that their nursing credits expire after 2 years.. That would make me have to go through the beginning of nursing school courses all over again!! Not only the time but the money, and the way their school is.. I CAN'T work while doing that big of a class load. Essentially, even if I did give in and retake the 1st semester, by the time I was done with that, the 2nd semester credits would expire.. and so forth.. Not only have I never heard of this before, it is NOT in anything that I signed etc. So now I have to fight just to get back into school for a course that is NOT required in any other college, or for the BON to qualify me to sit for the boards... I have had it with this school!! I just want to take the stupid class, to get it done and move on. Now I have to save money to sit for my LPN.

Wow!!!!!!! Nursing credits expire and they want you to start all over? Are you kidding me? This school seems money hungry to me. Have you thought of transfering to another college....try excelsior...as long as you have completed 50% of your clinicals they would except your nursing credits. About they nclex review course...my school requires the 3 day live review and if we miss it....we don't graduate....sucks but required courses for your college are just that...required courses....it doesn't matter if the state or other schools or the BON require it......it only matters that the school you chose requires it. Good luck in the future.
