P.S. I have another part of my quinforgot to mention.
I forgot to mention my friend said that after the terrible experience with my meeting with the dean, and how the director treated me, that I should consider asking the Sister if we should date situation to the President of the school? She believes that if I make a strong case, especially after being defamed, it will give them a reality check! A friend of mine had a similar situation and she got a lawyer I and the director of the program and school didn’t want any bad publicity, and her report them to the accreditation committee…..she said I can also take it a step further and contact the accreditation committee to see if they can possibly get involved too. So what do all of think about this as well? Thank you 🙏 😊

There's no context here. And honestly you probably won't get anywhere unless they directly denied you the education you've paid for or denied disability accommodations. Nursung school is hard and incredibly strict and you really gotta man up if you intend to get through it. It's all worth it in the end though.
Got it! Thank you.

Hi Grace, I’m really sorry to hear about your difficult experience with the meeting with the dean and how the director treated you. It sounds like a very challenging situation, and I understand why you’d be considering taking further action. Taking action against the institution, especially if you feel defamed or unjustly treated, is an important decision. If you do decide to escalate the issue, make sure you are well-informed, calm, and have clear evidence to support your case. Consulting with a lawyer and possibly reaching out to the President and accreditation committee could give you the direction and support you need.
My advice is: take steps that are going to be the most beneficial for your mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes, legal action and official complaints can be draining, so it’s important to consider how much time and energy you’re willing to invest.
Also, consider how your actions may affect your relationship with the program or institution moving forward, even if your claims are valid.
Finally, make sure you have a strong support system (family, friends, or a mentor) to guide you through the process

Hi 👋 Susana,
Thank you 🙏 so very much for your help and support, it means a lot to me! After some thinking, I decided not to go that route and consider any legal action, but, keep it documented.

Susana, if I may ask you, can you also give me some advice on me reaching out to the Sister and see if she can help and sure in anyway in possibly getting back into my old school and starting fresh and new with the nursing program again? I explained the circumstances about the whole situation, what are your thoughts? Thank you 🙏 😊

I am happy to be of help to you and I give GOD all the glory. Moving forward, If there's a Sister (possibly a nun or someone associated with the religious leadership of the school) who holds influence or is respected by the institution, reaching out to her could be a good step—especially if she’s shown compassion or concern for your well-being before. You can use this approach :Be clear, calm, and respectful in your message. Don’t focus on blame, but on what happened to you and how it made you feel. Emphasize your desire for restoration and the opportunity to return to the nursing program with a clean slate. Ask if she can advocate on your behalf or advise you on how best to proceed.

Hi 👋 Susana,
Oh thank you 🙏 so very much for your compassion, help, kindness, and support it means so much to me! I’m definitely going to take your advice; I reached out to the Nun and she told me to get back to her tomorrow with some days and dates to meet with her. I believe in my heart the Lord is directing my steps to her and my journey back to the program! Please 🙏 pray for me, and will keep you updated! God Bless You. 🤍

Hello again, Donna M !
I just responded to your first post about this and I do stick by my advice. I do not think that the experience you had at Saint Joseph's warrants getting a lawyer and starting a lawsuit. This is just my life experience opinion. Each time someone makes you feel bad is not a cause for a lawsuit. We get made to feel bad many times in life and we'd all be millionaires right now if we could sue every time. I would not waste the time and money taking any action, I would follow the advice I gave in my previous response to your first post about this. That advice is to do a two year Nursing Program in Manhattan or Brooklyn, graduate and start working as a nurse.
This may be the time to connect intellect with your education, not emotion. Save emotion for your personal life. There is a place for it, but it can hold you back if you dwell on how you feel. With education and careers, let that assertive, confident quality of yours come out, the one that tells you no one can stop you from achieving. We all have things that happen, but if we dwell on them, it puts a huge barrier wall in front of us and we don't get anything done.
If you feel strongly about how he/she made you feel and that he/she lied, write that person a letter as a way to document it, spelling out the truth and send a copy to the college's President and department Dean. Move on. There are excellent things waiting for you and something tells me that they're not in Long Island. Remember - everything happens for a reason. You may not know why now, but in a few years, you'll look back and see how and why things worked out for the good for you.
