    See if your college has a physical therapy program or a radiology program. Those are the big ones that I think you could use the classes you’ve already taken towards.

    You could try a different medical path, for example anesthesiologist or pharmacist.
    If you are that interested in being a nurse, i know there are colleges that offer lower degrees in nursing…then after some time you could go back and get a better nursing degree.

    TCNJ is a really good school. Do whatever you can to stay in the nursing program there, or if you do get removed, find out what, if anything, you can do to be readmitted. Is it a grades thing? Would they allow you to retake some of those classes, this summer, at a local community college, and apply your improved grades back to your course at TCNJ?

    Please speak to your nursing program advisor immediately. There may be things you can do to take an active role and help yourself stay in nursing at TCNJ.

    As for your other options re: nursing – which ones are possible for you depends, in very large part, on why you’re in danger of being removed from the nursing program at TCNJ. For example, if it’s your grades, then that’s going to impact your ability to get into another program. And a lot of the other careers that are in health care will also care about your grades.
