Hello again Suzette, What a shame you weren't allowed to resume your studies according to Dr Lanoutte, and graduate in the summer. I think you should keep writing those letters and emails (be persistent and show them you're seriously determined) to get back to school. I also advise you to record down in writing everything people have said in meetings, emails, & on the phone. Compile this information in case you later rely on it at an Appeal.
I have suddenly thought about where you should go to find extra help to reinforce your case....the counsellor. You have been under an insufferable amount of stress and strain, and I think it would serve you well if you discussed it with a professional (either your doctor or counsellor) and had it on record. You've talked about the gross negligence, bullying tactics (yes she is a bully!), her conduct of undermining and showing complete disregard for your wellbeing and education. Write it all down in list form and discuss. Perhaps the counsellor, if she's employed by the school knows an advocate who handles these types of issues. We have strong nursing unions who represent us. In addition, have you tried contacting an Employment Lawyer. I know you're at school, but wondered if you do hospital work? They may I'm sure be able to advise or act on your behalf, as they deal with bullying in the work place. If you can search your memory on all the points of grievance regarding this tutor without making yourself out to be paranoid. I think you need a back up plan just in case. You are doing really really well, but sometimes when you find yourself in a whirlwind of stress and emotion, it's not easy to see clearly or be objective with planning a strategy. So these are the important points to consider.
& please know that you are not burdening us with this. If I lived nearby I'd be over there in a flash to fight your corner. Many have been in your shoes at some point in their lives making innocent mistakes....being naive to know where to turn, and for the sake of a peaceful life, we walk away. This isn't you I sense as this has always been your dream! You have a case...well we already knew that...& now is the time to take action!! Please keep us posted.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
