Talking to Dean about returning to nursing school, advice please?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi,

In a couple of weeks I'm going to speak to the Dean of nursing about possibly returning to the nursing program. To keep the story short, I was in the nursing program 7 years ago but unfortunately I was unable to make it. I was young and foolish but since then I've learned from my mistakes and now I hope to pursue my dream again.

My game plan is:

(1) Get a letter of recommendation from three poeple: (a) an old nursing teacher that taught at that school who supported me 7 years ago; (b) From the Vice President of Student Affairs, © From the Dean of the program I graduated from.

(2) Talk to the Nursing Dean and explain to her that I've changed a lot since I was in the nursing program 7 years ago. I want to tell her how difficult failing was but at the same time I'm kind of glad that it happened because it woke me up and brought everything into perspective it helped me grow up quickly.

(3) I want to show her that since failing nursing school, I've graduated with another BSN degree and I've remained in the Dean's list, first honors, since failing nursing school.

(4) I want to explain to her that nursing has always been my passion... Even though I've now graduated and have a job, I want her to know that I've always wanted to be a nurse despite living comfortably now.

(5) Should I tell her that I actually got accepted at a different school? The reason why is because I would prefer if I stayed at my old school because it's really been a second home to me and because I believe in their teaching method and their holistic approach to treating patients.

Does this sound like a good plan? Thanks for reading and sorry for the length :).

Regards.

Thank you that's exactly what I was thinking! I'll avoid mentioning it in that case and just take full responsibility for what happened. After all, I should've been able to handle it anyways.
