   Christinajoannne replied to Fall15NYU's topic in General Students

   Definitely the fact that it is rewarding, there is just something so...humbling...to be able to be a nurse, not to also mention the fact that it's a job where you can only go up...if you want to go up. I love the aspect how more education can take yo...

   What type of ID holder do you have? Are yours personalized? For me, mines is a retractable baby blue one, with a cute stethoscope on it. I'm hoping I get a personalized one with my name on it for my birthday which is in a month! (Woo) Or one that sa...

   I'm in the same boat! Almost finished my third year for that BSN, minus the 8 children (which, bless you. You must be incredible to be able to juggle school and your precious ones!) Let's keep moving forward. We're almost there!!

8. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

11. Nursing school is killing me

    Christinajoannne replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Students

    It's a completely subjective thing, and I respect your opinion. :) I didn't say it was "THE" hardest. I can think of some other majors that are very difficult such as Engineering. I simply said it was "One of the" hardest, when you take in considera...

13. Nursing school is killing me

    Christinajoannne replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Students

    I am very sorry you feel this way. It seems you are feeling extremely frustrated, discouraged, and just down in general. Nursing school is hard. Don't forget that. We have one of the hardest majors ever, compared to our other non-nursing colleagues....
