Hey everyone,
So im a 20 year old nursing student who smokes marijuana recreationally.
I have maintained a 4.0 in the program I am in. I get excellent comments from my clinical instructors/staff nurses on site. I smoke on the weekends, do not drink, never 'popped' a pill, or have used 'hard' drugs, and yet I'm a 'pot head'.
I understand what it takes to be a nurse, and plan on getting 'clean' within a month or two, and that will be it for my marijuana use.
I have to say, from time to time I feel guilty for smoking pot while doing patient care-all though I feel fully capable of doing procedure's, and honestly would rather me do it, than some of my fellow non-smoking classmates.
So...what is your opinion?
*side note: I have never/will never come to school or a facility high. It pops into my mind some times when I'm on site, that I smoke marijuana, and feel guilty for it.
