I heard this from a colleague of mine at a different community college from where I work, so it's more of a sighting.
A student takes and fails to pass the final course of her nursing program this past Spring. However, she is undeterred by her failure! No, sir, not gonna let it get in my way.
With great optimism she pays the testing fee to the testing company to take the NCLEX-RN (the national licensing exam for RNs), and calls to get a test date.
When she is told she can't get a test date, she calls the Board of Nursing wanting to know why she can't get confirmation of a test date. She tells the Board that she did indeed finish the program and should be allowed to test.
So what was the actual problem? Uuhhhh . . . because you didn't actually graduate.
The Chair of that program did confirm to the Board that yes, the student finished the course. However, she did not pass the course, is not eligible for graduation, and therefore is not eligible to take the NCLEX.
Her failure to grasp this little detail speaks volumes to why she failed out of her program (for the 2nd time, so she's not eligible to come back thank god), and why she has no business taking the NCLEX in the first place.
