1. I hate nursing

   bb.rn replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

   I graduated in May ' 06. There was a female in class the first semester that also said she "hated everything about it" and quit. At the time, I thought she had made a stupid decision but now after struggling to find something I can stand to do in n...

2. considering nursing school at 45 yo

   bb.rn replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

   I don't know where you are located, but I haven't heard of any schools that have an age limit - especially nursing - if you have the grades, etc.

3. considering nursing school at 45 yo

   bb.rn replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

   Sorry to hear that. It would definitely have been a lot easier to pull those 12 hr shifts at 26 instead of 46 and we could be retired by now!!! I didn't have kids but was busy doing other things and it didn't occur to me that I would get into my 30...

4. considering nursing school at 45 yo

   bb.rn replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

   I graduated in '06 at age 46 after 2 years in the ADN program. It was tough, the work is tougher, but you CAN do it. The great majority of our class was considered non-traditional students, mostly in their 30's, a couple fresh out of high school, b...

5. help! i think i hate nursing!

   bb.rn replied to bloomscoot's topic in New Nurse

   I have had that happen to me since getting out of school It's like they don't want to deal with you and will let you know it in a not so nice way. I understand how overwhelming their jobs are but if we can learn then we can lighten that load. I ne...

   I hate that but it really felt good to get this off my chest.

8. did you ever think it would be like this?

   bb.rn replied to jamonit's topic in New Nurse

   My advice would be, and I am only a year out of school, to do what is right for you. If you feel that you need to check, double check, triple check...then that is what you should do until you feel YOU are comfortable. I don't know what the other ne...

10. did you ever think it would be like this?

    bb.rn replied to jamonit's topic in New Nurse

    It really is nice to know that there are others who feel the same as I do. A friend who graduated with me calls it "brainwashing" that we have to go through in school and then when we go out into the world. Some of us are resistant to that, apparen...

11. did you ever think it would be like this?

    bb.rn replied to jamonit's topic in New Nurse

    Good luck to you, hope everything works out. I really think that it's not unusual for new nurses to move around until we find what we want. I have had 5 jobs in a year and classmates that I have stayed in contact with have done about the same. Ther...

12. did you ever think it would be like this?

    bb.rn replied to jamonit's topic in New Nurse

    I totally agree!! I have been out of nursing school for a little over a year and have had several jobs. The people, other nurses and others, that I have worked with, for the most part, have not been supportive, and it has made me have a very bad at...
