Got an F on my last APPE rotation in P4 year? Will I be kicked out?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Geez holy chitzky what is it about this forum that draws the weirdest outlier of pharmacy people that want to suicide for moving out of state, want to drop out after 1 year of prepharm, who flunk an elective, and who quit to be a botany counselor???

Was that a cheap shot?

Getting bossed around I see. I think the last time I went camping was 20+ years ago...I couldn't pitch a tent/start a fire if my life depended on it.

I'd be Hunger Games casualty #1, yup.

Then you'll have to sleep in my tent 😀 I can pitch a tent, build a fire, hunt, fish, make weapons, and tie knots if I had to. Although I would hate having to kill elk and rabbits and what not.

Nothing cheap about my comment. You are an outlier and I've said it before. I asked what made your previous job unbearable but you never replied.

What do you mean by "outlier"? Is that positive or negative?

I don't think it was anything specific, but whatever it was, my body was telling me that I couldn't handle it. We did all think that this hospital was a little too gung-ho about admitting patients who were too sick for our facility to handle. :shrug:

Speaking of botany, any tips on keeping tulips? They are so fussy.

True, and they're short-lived plants. The bulbs should be planted in the fall for spring blooms; bulbs, corms, and tubers should be planted at a depth about 3 times its diameter. Potted tulips can be replanted after the foliage dies off. Don't remove the foliage, because that feeds the bulb for next year.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the depth because different people said different things. I purchased awesome soil so I know it wasn't that.

Thanks again! 😀
 
omg i'm in a room full of geriatrics and am finding it difficult to not laugh out loud about tent pitching.

Yikes, I didn't know rxlea was into TWO tents being pitched, much less one.

Ok it's settled, owle will pitch a tent and rxlea will teach me about her tulip bulbs...and A4M will coordinate. Deal?

Well I need to have a back up tent just in case the first one isn't big enough. 😀

Ouch!

I might be too occupied with your bulbs to be of much assistance.

Besides, i thought you were more into sliding into igloos vs. dealing with tents.

(hm, guess we're camping in Alaska)
 
poor owle...the hell did you do these ladies?!

i'm staying out of this lest my tent pitching comes under fire

My tulip bulbs are indeed distracting. When it comes to igloos, though, the tighter fit the better...want to make sure it stays warm. Although I do prefer igloos, I'm good at getting tents to pitch (or so I've heard). Apparently, they are quite sturdy when I'm around to guide and make it happen.

As for owle's pup tent, maybe we can work something out. Pup tents could be a useful addition to igloos and tulip bulbs....in Alaska of course. 😀

Oooh ooh...we'll have our $1M alaskan signing bonuses and we can pitch tents, explore igloos, and admire your tulip bulbs all day long!

And then we'll draw on welfare, buy a Hummer, and go look for unicorns.

Man...this is a great vacation. Distracting bulbs, tight igloos, and a hummer to top it all off! :luck::luck::luck:

All I can say is no one likes a deadbeat daddy with a crooked pole who won't even support his little owlets so they have to go on Medicaid!

I didn't know rxlea could have such a dirty mind. :ninja:

It's like...going into the woods and watching a majestic deer frolic in the meadow, you admire its purity and grandeur, and then you follow it into the woods and it starts humping the **** out of another deer.

Are you equating rxlea to a majestic deer? 😕

Hi all, I finished my last APPE outpatient care rotation and got a c+, however the course coordinator at the school for the outpatient rotation gave me an F. According to her, the manual and policies for the Appe rotation states that getting a grade that is below the minimum satisfactory score of 8 out of 10 on any of the professional competences on the professional evaluation form is a potential grounds for failure. Since, the preceptor on my last rotation gave me a score below minimum on 6 such competencies on the professionalism section, I got an F. Consequently, the school policy also states that getting an F on any APPE rotation is an automatic dismissal from the program. I have not received any official letter from the school yet, but I know that I am most likely dismissed from the program. The associate dean has told me that I have the right to appeal the decision and I should definitely appeal it. However, I am very nervous and depressed T this point. I am nots urge how this will end up even if I appeal the decision. The worst part of all this is that I already attended the graduation ceremony and my parents attended it and now we are all shocked to have heard about this news. Please help me on my situation because it has been 4. Years of hard work and my lifelong dream and passion to become a pharmacist. Please help! I would also appreciate any feedback from any students who were in the same situation for same or different reasons and know what happened in their cases. Thanks again.

tl;dr

Depends on your school's academic policy. An "F" generally requires repeating the rotation.

If this is true, then how on earth did you allow yourself to get a C+ on ANY rotation? You were either knowingly/unknowingly unprofessional, slacked off (which is unprofessional), or some other thing that would cause you to get a C on a rotation. Our rotations are pass fail, but I don't know how anyone could fail a rotation if they had as much "passion" as you say you had. I have no other response for this. You will have to make up the rotation if possible. If not, repeat year for the one rotation.
