Exited Nursing Student..Advice

I was a recent nursing student who was 24 hours away from obtaining an ADN. However due to an unfortunate circumstance that occured between my nurse and I, I was not granted the right to graduate and obtain my degree.

The incident involved an unproven accusation that I, the student, supposedly falsied a patient's lung sound in my documentation. The preceptor's claim include that I checked "clear" on the lung sound without having listen to the patient's lungs. (we had paper chart) This particular incidence was not in any way, informed to me by my assigned preceptor nor reported exactly at the time it occured. Instead my preceptor waited for days to report me, thus the evidence at hand {retaking patient's lung sound and if indeed the lung sound is different from what I claimed in my chart is different) can no longer be obatained. The decision for me not to graduate was solely based on her saying.

I guess at this point, having been exited from the nursing program... where do I go from here that I may somehow obtain credit for the two years I worked so very hard for.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
