1. To Flu Shot or Not??

   wellhereiam replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

   Sometimes, people have adverse reactions to the flu shot, even though it's a dead virus. I used to think it was all psychological. I rarely get the flu, so I rarely get the flu shot. Even during clinicals, I didn't get the flu shot and I never got si...

2. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

   wellhereiam replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

   Everybody grows up with different experiences. Maybe that girl has medical experience, great parents that encouraged learning, went to a solid school, studies twice as hard b/c she has the time, or is naturally smart. In my nursing school experience...

3. How to stay in shape while in Nursing school....

   wellhereiam replied to FutureLatinaRN's topic in General Students

   How about signing up for a sports class at school? That way, you have to go, and it's no extra cost. You could find a nursing school partner and jog/yoga together after class. Do it in between class. I had a 3.5 hour lecture where we had a 20 minute ...

4. Did I make the right choice?

   wellhereiam replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

   First of all, thank you all for your response. I've been racking my brain trying to think of what else I could do. Sunray, I think you are right on target about me not liking customer service; therefore, I probably won't like myself as an occupationa...

5. Did I make the right choice?

   wellhereiam replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

   Isn't it true that people usually hire nurses as health educators though? I'm suspecting I'll never ever get a secure job b/c of my decision. I know that staying in nursing for job security is a wrong reason, but I am worried I will struggle with the...

6. Did I make the right choice?

   wellhereiam posted a topic in General Students

   Argh. So I went through 2 years of prereqs and 1 year of nursing. I ended up quitting because I really despised clinicals. I originally went in to this major b/c my parents told me to. I thought I'd learn to like it. How could I not like it? It's a r...

7. Quit nursing school?

   wellhereiam replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

   I quit with a 4.0! I've never been this happy and and unsure in years. I have NO idea what I want to do even though I've discussed it with plenty of career counselors; I just know it's not nursing :). I think I just like everything, but don't love an...

8. Quit nursing school?

   wellhereiam replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the messages, everyone. After seeing counselors, career counselors, doctor, etc, blah, I'm still in this program. I should feel fortunate. Lucky. So many people would like to be in this position, but I hate it. I've tried searching oth...

   ~$25,000 for 5 years of education, including inflation, but not gas prices.

10. Unsure.....

    wellhereiam replied to stunurse89's topic in General Students

    I feel the same way. I posted something earlier about this: https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/quit-nursing-school-297292.html

11. How did you find a summer job?

    How did you get that job?

12. How did you find a summer job?

    wellhereiam posted a topic in General Students

    Well, I guess it's too late now since it's the middle of summer, but how did you find your job? I've filled out so many applications and done some interviews, but no dice! I've went to HR in hospitals and even regular stores to talk to them directly,...

13. Anyone else going crazy waiting for nursing school to begin?

    wellhereiam replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Students

    No, definitely not. Once you start nursing school, you'll be begging for breaks. I love every minute of this. Around mid-year, I became sleep deprived almost every day we had school or clinicals. I can't believe I get to sleep 8 hours now! WOOOOW. En...

14. Clinicals with no sleep

    wellhereiam replied to BSNstudent09's topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm in a BSN program-- one of the best in the state. In our program, we're supposed to go the evening or night before clinical to collect patient data. Then we spend almost all night writing the care plan/prep info with patient data, medical diag...

15. Why do we have to wait until after orientation to get our books?

    wellhereiam replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I think it's to encourage students to buy from the bookstore. If you email the profs, they might be inclined to say 'wait for orientation" so that you buy it from the store. What I would do is email the level 2 students. Don't buy the BS ab...
