I've been crying all day.

I thought it was weird that I hadn't gotten a confirmation from school that they'd received my nursing clinicals application (mailed 2.5 months ago). I just found out from a friend yesterday that we even got confirmations. So I called and made a phone appt with my advisor (who I'd gotten an appt with 2 other times-- once he was sick and the other time stood me up).

He called today and said my application was being rejected because I'd scored 2 points too low on an assesment test. He thought that was weird since I have a 3.75 GPA. He said the testing center is supposed to let students know if there's a problem. She told me I did fine and was well above the minimums on everything....I'd been concerned since I'd whipped through it.

So now I'm just screwed. Had he not stood me up on those 2 appts I'd have figured out that I needed to retake the test (I could have killed him when he said that it would have taken me 15 minutes to fix the problem). Or if the testing center had let me know I'd have not had a problem.

Now I can't reapply until next year which means I can't start until fall 06. I'm just crushed. He said I'd have gotten in (there are 5-600 applicants for 60 spots). There's not another program I can do that would let me keep my job. A day program and working part time would mean we'd have to sell the house.

Bummer to work your ass off for a long time only to get screwed by a series of mistakes on their part. The ironic thing is that I'd had a weird feeling about those tests I took in November thus I'd tried to make the appts with him.

Damn it.
 
..things happen for a reason.....


It will work out for the best.......
 
..yeah...call me...Ill fly up there and introdue them to one of the three R's":

1 - Roof

2 - River

3 - Revolver
 
Are there any backup slots? They must have a few discretionary fills....

Time to start complaining.... LOUDLY.

Work your way up the bureaucratic food chain. Don't take no for an answer.
 
sorry to here that Raina
 
Wow that's really too bad. But I think Shadow is right.

The same thing happened to me. I worked my ass off trying to get into B-School. It wasn't even the top rated school, but I really liked the program. We'll I got rejected and for awhile I though of not even attending B-School. It took me 6 months to even think about B-School again. This time I though if I am going to get rejected, it's gonna be from the number 1 school.

Well I got accepted and got a great job because of it.

Hang in there. :) I am SURE things will turn around
 
:rose:

I agree with Shadow. Everytime I had what seemed like a major disappointment at the time, turned out to be a set-up for something better. Or it kept me out of something that in retrospect would have been bad for me even tho I really really wanted it at the time.
 
I keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason. My closest friend from school was bawling when I told her. We're the most uptight perfectionist study partners in the world. I cry when I get low A's.

Calling around at school got me nowhere. According to them I'm not the only one this happened to and they can't really make 1 exception and ignore everyone else. It's just a huge disappointment...especially since I keep turning down promotions at work thinking I would need more time for my program (whic will me 4 hours Tuesday and Thursday nights and 10-12 hours Sat+Sun every other weekend).

We'll see what happened. My gf asked me if I was going to have a baby. That's the most I've laughed all day. No thanks.

Work your way up to the Dean?

President of the Uni?

Why not... do you have anything to lose?

Heck, file a complaint. Make noise...stuff starts happening.
 
At least I'm not playing "could have , would have, should have". I'm more just irritated that I had a little cibe that something wasn't right but I was told all was well. If multiple things would have happen all would be well. Who knows what will happen next.

Maybe this is God's way of saying I should get another puppy. lol

can't hurt and it will make you feel better and maybe even help prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.
 
Sorry to hear that, Gambino's right try the squeaky wheel method.
 
sorry girl :/

let me know if me hitting some poses in a speedo in front of the people at the testing center would help because i'll do it
 
There's always a backup list but people go through hell to even get in and for as many people as they have apply, they're not exactly willing to do backflips to do anyone a favor. The real bummer is that even with a 3.75 I'm not guaranteed to have a high enough GPA to get in. I have all of my classes done though. Now I'm just waiting.

I'll tackle this more tomorrow after I'm more settled down. I'm just thankful I had a pretend dr appt today and left work at 11am. It's never good to have a breakdown at the office.

Thanks for letting me vent. It's just a heartbreak to have to wait another damn year.
 
four letter word:

DEAN






you need to cut to the chase and go sit in the office of the dean of academics because your ACADEMIC standing is not in question, nor your ability to amend any minor points of order> you got fucked.


Things happen for reason? Ok, so GO GIVE THEM REASONS TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!

pm incoming.

Pardon me... FUCK THAT. You are a woman of science giving to that fate and destiny codswallop?!? SINCE WHEN?!

you are better and bigger than that, and have hell of lot more fight in you than this..

People drop out, people change their minds, people get sick and die.. god forbid, but for a myriad of reasons openings HAPPEN at the last minute in tighter calls than this.

You are not going to get in if you give up on fighting for it, that is a certainty.

Look at it like a contest that you have a hundred in one shot of winning. THATS BETTER THAN ONE IN A MILLION! HELL YES! But you have to FIGHT!

No offence, but.. 'things happen for a reason'.. FOOEY ON THAT! Make your own luck, woman! If it doesnt work, so what? There is no way in hell it will work if you dont try.
 
No offense taken and I'm planning to do what I can and go as high as I can. There's nothing I can do tonight though other than rest and make a plan.

Thanks you for saving me the effort, because I wouldn't have been able to put it as tactfully as you did.

W.C. Fields said that should you get very angry at someone in the heat of the moment, and desire to shmunk them on the head with rock thrown with great force, you should step back, count to ten and relax.... your aim will improve greatly that way.

:artist:
 
Sorry. I'm sure you will acheive your goal.

I have had MAJOR failures and events happen to my business, personal, and health. These things made me stronger, wiser, and more successful than I dreamed of. I know everyone says this, but I would not have traded these events for anything. (at the time I thought it was hell lol) In fact, the hardest thing I've had overcome is the friends I lost and the negativity I recieved from people when I finally became some what successfull.

Good luck!!!

I know quite a few people that had just missed getting into nursing school, its a strict cutoff and thats all she wrote for those people.
Most medical programs are like that and then they weed those people out even more as it goes along so that the graduates are the safest and well trained professionals b/c theyre dealing with human lives. I dont want to dissuade you but thats a reality of the cutoffs, its only the first step in the elimination process of medical professionals, school, grades, clinicals, boards etc...
Good luck I hope it works out for you sincerely, its a great and rewarding field.
 
To sum it up. According to the legendary bike builder (may he rest in peace) Indian Larry things don't go according to plan generally in life, especially when building a bike, but often it is a blessing in disguise. Good things can come out of it. Hopefully same will happen to you.
 
sorry to hear raina. my advisor almost fuked me out of graduation the first time by calling me into his office, 3 weeks before graduation, to tell me i'm 3 credits short of graduating. i ended up clepping out of accting 1, (i never took it, just accting 2). i passed and graduated, but still a crock of shit

i believe things will work out for you before fall of '06. your in my prayers
 
That's bullshit. Real sorry to hear that. I knew somebody who went through a similar situation. Try to continue moving forward if you can. Take classes somewhere else, whatever it may be. Don't just sit and wait for a year, but I'm sure you will make a good choice.
 
Raina,
I'm really sorry to hear that. Nursing is rough, at our school they just gave out rejections recently and 60 of the 90 people that applied were accepted. (granted thats no where near as bad as your situation) but there were a lot of heart-broken women, many of home had to transfer.

I hope that you are able to make do in the mean time, and find something good to do in the next year.
And remember, count your blessings. :)

That's what I keep telling myself. Only way I can keep my sanity.

Sorry, Raina. I went to nursing school for 4 weeks and dropped out. Don't know what I was thinking. Not even close to being cut out for that kind of work.

Think of it this way: Now you can take the promotions, save up more money, study more, focus on your life with you new husband, and use it all as fuel to do extraordinarily well when you start there next year. Sometimes life just tests us to see how we handle ourselves and our problems. Use this as a good thing and don't dwell on the hurt and disappointment you feel now. Life moves on with or without you and you'd better be ready when the train comes back by, just this time make sure you have a first class ticket.

Cheers,
Scotsman

Great advice here.
 
ah. red tape mofos.

i got stiffed in uni by a bunch of pricks who didnt like me terribly much because of my attitude, and to add insult to injury, they then decided to try precluding me from the course (boot me out for a year). it wasnt until i engaged full on bastard mode and started pushing buttons left and right that they thought "uh oh" and all of a sudden, all the drama just went away. im still going to beat the living hell out of thsoe lecturers when i find them someplace discreet. :mad: and im going to love it.

anyway, you did everything right. you applied, you passed, you made appointments that they didnt keep. it was THEIR duty of care, their responsibility to reciprocate. what theyve done to you is franky inequitable. start writing letters, sinding faxes, tell them that you have held back on having a child and turning down promotions because of this, and that frankly, their bullshit just isnt good enough. "we cant make one exception for you and ignore everybody else" thats absolutely right, you cant make exceptions... you cant bloody well screw it up in the first place, you arrogant slimy sidestepping bastard!

mofos. now im getting annoyed, so im going to shut up, but really, in places like academic institutions, when theres a screw up, exceptions are often made for people who make a lot of noise.

mofo. go in and make a complaint that he didnt accept you into the course because he hit on you and you turned him down. bastard. rrroooooooaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!! :evil:
 
Think ahead. Don't loose focus. It's not the end of the world if you have to wait for a year. Don't spend too much energy fighting it this year unless you feel its going to be productive. Relax and enjoy married life for a year.
 
If you can raina make a huge stink

If you know an attorney, use him. You'd be amazed at what people will do to avoid legal action. Even if the case is weak, settling is generally the better part of valor.

I hope you can fight and win hon.

If not, closed doors and windows opening and such.

Good luck sweetie
 
That sucks hun.... hope it works out the way you want it to...... Good luck to ya! :heart:
 
Do they have any idea who they are messing with ??

Good news is your Mobile Fur Coats love U regardless..

Feel Better..
 
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.

You need to be raising alot more hell with the administration.

I'm in higher education and can tell you the more you raise hell with the VP's and President the better.

Threaten with an attorney, tell them you'll call you're local TV News Investigative Team (this one worked on me personally...we totally caved)
Write your state's Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), the Association of Colleges where you are (?) (we're the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) that's who they get their accreditation from. This will get their attention, believe me.

Never give up, never give up, never give up.....

This guy needs to suffer.
 
will this person have any say over further placements....especially with deans you have to be careful to not rock the boat too much unless you have to, as they can be quite spiteful when their arrogance gets to their heads

I would contact the dean and complain, and push him to see your side of the arguement, but already with a finite amount of placements I can your fighting an uphill battle. I know people who have had to take a year, even more out or started their jobs late, they found it hard but they got through it. Ultimately they need you, and desperately so you will always find employment its just a matter of time before you get a clinical placement. good luck :)
 
I really can't add to this but to express my best wishes for your future Raina..>Plus...Codswallop? WTF?
 
Also, to make you see that things aren't as bad as they could be..

Rent the Comedy Movie "Orange County" this weekend..

I got rejected for the Respiratory Therapy program even though I had 3.4 gpa and I even got a B in PHYSICS!!! So I just kept on taking some of the other program requirements and racked up volunteer hours at hospitals and got in the next year. Then I passed that, got certified in NY, and then after 4 years I quit because I wasn't happy with the job. lol
That's the thing with any program. You have to continually touch base with the advisors and talk to dept. heads to make sure they're not fkn anything up. It's a pain in the ass. Don't worry girl, I say get another puppy and keep on doing what your doing. :qt:
 
Oh man that sux. Been there, done that. Particularly in college there is so little regard for those critical things that keep each student's life moving with such huge dependence on them getting done.

Here's my little sob story -- I was completing what I thought was a Computer Engineering master's degree, while collecting a stipend as a research assistant and doing work towards a thesis on a project funded by IBM. I had 1 semester to graduate. I planned to complete my research, leave FL and move back to my parents' house & finish the thesis and then start up my life from there. My lease was coming up and my schedule was all dependent on finishing my classes, getting my research done & moving.

Around mid way through my 2nd to last semester, my advisor tells me the IBM project has been cancelled (this was providing my stipend, funding my tuition and paying my room & board), but he said I could still finish my thesis, etc. I was like, um, no because who's gonna pay for the tuition to complete my thesis, ya dumfuck? And then, while trying to review where I was with my classes, etc. I also realized hat the same fucking advisor had been recommended that I take all of HIS classes, which didn't contribute to CE degree, but instead to Computer Science. Um. Fucker. I am now completing a degree I didnt' want. Great. At this point I was so disgusted that I changed all my paperwork to complete a CS degree and switched to non-thesis degree, requiring an extra semester of classes.

Luckily I had gotten into a good situation with an internship at a global tech company and at least had some cash flow. But I also ended up renting a room from a friend for the extra semester because my lease was up & I had to move. Except this in itself was total buttfuck of an experience (i'll spare you that rant). Long story short, I finished the degree w/ honors, got a publication out of one of my classes and was hired fulltime from my internship & that same company put me in a position to complete a completely paid for MBA, with which I got myself the hell of out of programming and into the wonderful world of management.

Its been a bit of a random walk and not what I anticipated when I went into school for the computer engineering degree, but it does show you that when you have to, you can be very creative with finding alternate plans or passing time when you have to work within someone else's time frame.

I feel your pain because I lived something very similar for close to 2 yrs dealing with the lack of consideration I got from that fuckign advisor, but I also rose above it and opened up several different doors that I wouldn't have necessarily found on the Plan A route. Once the initial frustration is past, I know you are strong & extremely intelligent person and you will definitely get where you are going. Sometimes you just end up taking the scenic route. ;)

As far as your advisor, well, she's stuck in her shitty little job in her shitty little office knowing that she's yet again demonstrated just how useless she is. :) Don't waste energy getting mad at her because you can better exert that energy enjoying some ice cream while you make contacts for a better situation :)

So their incompitence is an excuse for more of their incompitence... :rolleyes:
 
I totally understand your situation in that because of some injustice/incompetence YOUR LIFE has been altered... All I can offer is this as others have stated before: "Everything happens for a reason."

Little consolation when you are down and hurting, I know... But my heart goes out to you and be comforted that better things are ahead for you darlin'.
 
The same exact thing happened to a friend of mine... except she was already a year into her nursing program. She failed a class and got kicked out of the program because of like 2 measly points on a test. Now she has to wait a year and reapply next spring.

Of course, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise so I'm sure everything will work out for you too.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that sweetie.

Is there anyone left at all you could talk to who might be able to fix this?
