Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Kentucky

nursing school

I am in my last semester of nursing school- actually supposed to graduate today- my grades were posted and I thought everything was ok- yesterday my instructor called me and said she had put my grades up to soon - and due to absolute lies from a nurse preceptor that i did 120 hrs of clinical time with- I may not graduate. First I am angry because all grades were posted by facaulty and I was positive then I could tell everyone I am graduating and be sure- then they changed it afterward- next this preceptor said HORRIBLE things about me in my eval that just are not true. they are meeting about this (my instuctors) monday- I feel like I have been treated VERY unfairly- do you think based on this that I would have a right to sue either the school or the preeptor.

thanks

Re: nursing school

Sit down with administration and your instructors (together or separately) to figure out what happened and what you need to do to graduate. Then do that. If you received an evaluation that was unfair, there should be a mechanism to resolve that sort of dispute already in place.

If there is no campus dispute ressolution/mediator, then ask to go to a community mediation center.

Talk of a lawsuit is entirely premature.
