Wanting to transfer into a fast tracking program, Canadian student

Published

Hi, in December I was in my third year of nursing. Unfortunately my teacher did not like me at all and another teacher was my ex bf's sister in law and they failed me even though I passed all my classes marks wise. Well I plan on going back into nursing but I was hoping to only do a year and a half then a full blown two years. At my school we did not take a stats class. I took nursing in BC. Anyone know any options out there? I applied to UFV, and Trent. I am just waiting to hear back from them. I even applied to Australia where its only 3 years. I'm that desperate. I have been going to school for 6 years now and I just want tot travel and have a life and not be broke for once. Thanks

I don't believe for one second that you passed all your classes and got failed because ONE teacher thinks you shouldn't be a nurse.It doesn't work that way. You aren't telling us the whole story.

I watched this happen to a classmate way back when. I attended all her "meetings" with her and she and I pored over all the communications, evaluations, and feedback between her and the instructor and identified many instances of the instructor deliberately misrepresenting, redirecting, and misleading. It was a personality conflict. She passed all the classes but was failed during a community-based practicum because she spent so much time trying to address all the instructor's repeated, minor concerns that she was told she "missed the big picture".

She was failed. I was assigned to that same instructor for the final clinical of that year. Two of the instructors who weren't involved in failing my classmate came to me informally to make sure I would be okay with that, because they knew what happened. They couldn't say anything but they knew.

Trust me, it does happen.

That sounds exactly like me. I did everything to please her. Everything and it was never enough. I literally was doing stuff over the weekend for clinical. I was always doing clinical stuff and called her everyday. I told her everything I felt. I saw she favored students who were really outgoing and beyond talkative. I was quiet because it was a class of 12 students and weren't open at all so I kept my mouth shut. I told my teacher things about bad things that have happened in my life. I know too cause once she told me I was sick and shouldn't come to clinical and I wasn't sick at all. Then, I heard her talking to other teachers saying if I didn't make something up that I would fail, and I made it up. So I feel like she did this on purpose. I could never do anything to please her. And now I'm BEYOND depressed about it and have to be a year behind.

Hi, I have done 2.5 years of nursing but failed my third year of clinical. I don't want to do another 2 years. Any tips? I have applied to trent compressed program and UFV but UFV said I might not get in on time as they are still assessing me. Thanks

If you want an RN it will take you two more years no matter what... Western's program is the shortest at 19 months for compressed. Why not try and continue your current degree? I can't see how starting a whole new one would be beneficial you have taken half of the courses already. I'm also not too aware of how many restrictions they put on students looking to take a compressed program who already have Nursing courses completed... You aren't saving yourself any time by doing a compressed degree and it is bound to be much more demanding than a regular BscN Collaborative.

Why did you fail your 3rd year of clinical?

Long story. I was placed in a daycare. My teacher never really liked me cause I was not a talkative person. Told me to take a year off and think about something like social worker. She even gave me a certificate saying I completed five semesters the week before cause I was transferring schools. I passed my clinical marks wise but she wouldn't grant my credit.
