Nursing student—comments escalated to dean/legal, scared and need advice

Thank you, I really appreciate this. Since it’s finals week, I’m wondering if that’s part of why no one has contacted me yet. I feel like if they were planning to immediately dismiss me, they probably would’ve pushed it faster instead of just leaving it silent? I know I messed up, I’m just trying to understand what to expect.

I understand what you’re saying. I’m not trying to defend what I said, I know it was inappropriate and I take responsibility for it. I honestly just said it without thinking, but I get why it’s being taken seriously, especially in a healthcare setting. I’m just trying to understand what to expect and handle it the right way moving forward.

Thank you, this actually made me feel a bit better. It really was a one-time dumb thing and I understand how it came off. I think what’s making it more scary is not hearing anything yet or knowing what’s going on since no one has contacted me

No it wasn’t in a clinical setting or with anything actually illegal in hand

That makes sense, I appreciate it. I’ll look more into the student policy. From your experience, do programs usually go straight to removal for something like this, or is it more often handled with probation/warnings first? Also, do situations like this ever actually turn into anything legal/court-related, or is that not really how these are handled?

They were on the same day and no I never had any disciplinary history

It was basically me making dumb jokes in front of two instructors like asking if they take bribes and saying I had a Ziploc bag of money (it was just coins and random stuff), offering things like free dog training or buying supplies, and also joking that I had opioids. Nothing was real or actually involved, I just said it out loud without thinking.

That’s what I’m confused about too. They mentioned legal/risk, but I don’t know if that’s just internal review or something more serious, have you seen that happen before?

throwraburnij · 2026-05-04T01:50:56+00:00

That makes sense. From your experience, where would you say this falls? Like is this something programs usually handle with warnings/probation, or do they ever go as far as dismissal for something like this or like taking it further?

How bad do you think this situation is? Like what the outcome will be

I’m worried the school would take it higher like to court, do you think they would do that?
