Wow, that is really frustrating, I can understand why you are upset! I had a few ideas about ways around it, but I'm not sure if they would work in your situation or not.

Like others said, I'd try to find the class somewhere else and transfer it. Though, since you can't use financial aid at two different institutions at the same time, you would likely need to pay out of pocket.

Another option might be to talk to your advisor / instructor and ask if you can sit in on the class, and in the event someone drops out (which is very likely), see if you can register for the class late.

The last option I thought of was testing out of the class (with a CLEP exam or something similar). Does your nursing program except this kind of credit? If so, maybe you could audit the class (again, attend classes so you learn the material without getting credit) and then take the CLEP exam or whatever it is your school recognizes to get credit in time for your application deadline.

Hopefully you figure out something that works, but if not, then like Karen said, it is a bump in the road. I know it's hard when you are struggling, and not getting the pay you deserve. My brother was a CNA for years (and worked with Alzheimer's patients, too) so I know how hard that is! Good luck!
