I am currently a 3rd year nursing student in a prestigious college. I failed in the first day in my clinic rotation because of my immaturity. Failure in one clinic will result to fail the class and receive F in the class. I can re-take the class, but F will be still in my transcript. How much will the F affect me getting into a grad school?
Welcome to College Confidential!
This is the undergraduate forum for Yale College. You should repost your thread in the GRADUATE SCHOOL FORUM: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/graduate-school/
FWIW: Graduate school admissions at colleges like Yale are ultra competitive. I imagine few accepted students have an F on their undergraduate transcript. However, if you retake the class and get an A, I think Admissions would understand that you fell down, picked yourself up, dusted yourself off, and bounced back. Best of luck to you!
I have many As and several times in dean list. I worked very hard in my college.
The clinic liaison in my clinic first day (6:30am - 7pm) pointed my 3 mistakes. (1) too excited to go to surgery room (2) had my eyes for closed during 2pm conferences for some time (3) show astonished in front of a patient when RN drop some stuff accidently. In my school, 3 mistakes, you will get F in this clinic. My other scores are full credit so far, but end at F in this class. I am feeling very bad.
