   justagirlwhosaideh replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They will honestly be okay. You all should be really secure in yourselves then. I'm really not trying to be crass and (: I'm sorry if this offends anyone but I'm working hard too. This isn't to say your work isn't especially hard. I know that it is. ...

   Who cares? Lol I always say nursing student because my plan is to become a nurse. Therefore everything I do/study is preparing me to become an RN - tah-da nursing student.

   justagirlwhosaideh replied to ana_96's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with the previous posters. Read ahead. Do little things to keep it fresh like reviewing a body part in the mirror every time you go in the bathroom - things like that. Make it your life lo

10. I Want To Be A Nurse, But My Grades Aren't Competitive. Help!

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was in the same boat at one point because I was young, dumb, and just lacked discipline - the prereqs in my opinion were a cake walk. Yet honestly, I'm completely happy I went through that period. It taught me a lot. I would just say to all those s...

15. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    justagirlwhosaideh replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I don't "hate nursing" - I hate that I can't always give my pts the time I would like because of short-staffing. I "hate" that sometimes I believe I see my hospital only seeing the pts as money and therefore opt for riskier treatments because of the ...
