I Was Booted From Nursing School.?


This Question From Missouri LPN Programs | 4 Answers


I was booted from nursing school in the state of missouri LPN school with five weeks left because of a bad grade and I was wondering if anyone knows if you can still take your state boards without graduating an acredited school because I have heard you can.

    Probably not. Why dont you take some classes to boost your grades up and then try to reapply to get back in.

    You need to contact your BON and ask them. Most states allow you to challeng and take the test but I have never heard of anyone doing this who didnt graduate. Mostly I have heard of RN students not making to the last quater and challenging to take the LPN exam. I would be doubtful you would be able to but it wouldnt hurt to ask.

    I sure hope not lol. Not to be super mean, but if you have bad grades and didnt’ finish the program, why should I trust you with my health? I want someone qualified and who knows the things that you’re supposed to. Would you want a doctor performing surgery on you when she got 60s in med school? You could kill someone! You’re supposed to go to school for a reason. If you really want to be a nurse, try the courses again. If not, find another career path.
