What happens if I fail out?

Published

I might flunk out this semester. I am having problems in Adult Health, and just failed OB.

If I fail out, my school makes you sit out for a year then reapply.

In talking with other students who are in their second attempt in the school, they say that if you fail out of one nursing school, other schools will not accept you for a certain number of years in your state and that this is the only reason they didn't try another school. I am trying to confirm this. I don't feel like I can right this ship and am wondering if I shouldn't withdraw now before it is too late. If i withdraw b/f the first exam i can try again next semester.

So I guess my question is. If I flunk out of school A, can I turn around and apply to school B? Is this a legit Board Rule? sorry if this question is poorly stated.

And when people try to give you advice.... It is too long for you to read...

So the state sets the rule. Thanks that's a start.

Will another school be better?

now that I've wrapped my head around it. addressed my distactions.

definitely. i just would like a new start. my grade at a different school would have been passing.

thanks, I will look into that.

I doubt there are any board of nursing rules about applying to another program. It's easy to find this out: a two minute phone call to the board to ask.

I also doubt many schools would take you if you failed another program.

yea. its barely failing but failing. not "F" failing but "D by tenths failing" at one school and "C" at another.

If you can't bother to read a few sentences of advice you asked for, I highly doubt you're putting any effort into school.

you are still in A&P I so I would say you clearly wouldn't have a clue how to answer my question

I am shocked by your attitude OP. Please rethink your choice of being a Nurse. Compassion is such a huge part of the job and it may be something you are lacking.

Maybe if you didn't have the TLDR attitude, you would read enough to pass the class...

Grow up or continue to waste time and money. Your choice. Hope this isn't too long.

OP, I know you want to know what happens, but I think the reason why you were given the advice to reassess your study habits is because if you don't address that, then you will only carry your current problem into another program (if getting into another program is an option for you).

It's a legitimate piece of advice.

I've been through your troubles and one of the classes I failed was OB.

I had to go before the board to get back in, but I knew getting back in would be wasted if I did not address how I studied.

Please do this for yourself.
