   Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

   Well here is my 2 cents, I don't think my daughter will see me as a "quitter"...I think she will see that I love her enough to put her needs in front of my own, no exceptions. Like you said you're not a wife or a mother so I don't see how you could p...

   Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

   Thank you for all the support! I'm was sitting here this morning a little sad because I'm usually in class at this time, but reading all your posts have made me feel so much better. I know I've made the right decision, I can see it in my little girl...

3. no longer nursing student

   Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

   It is so sweet at night to be able to spend time with my family again instead of stressing out trying to get my homework done. Again, i'm disappointed that I won't get to be a nurse as soon as i had planned, but heck I'm only 32 and my daughter is o...

   Lindalou76 posted a topic in General Students

   Well I am no longer a nursing student. I had to walk away. I'm sure people will say i'm crazy because i didn't fail, was actually passing all my classes, I just couldn't do it. I don't know if it just wasn't for me or if it's just bad timing but I we...

5. Don't feel ready!

   Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

   Well I did it. I survived my 1st real day of clinical!!!!! It was scary but I got through it and i am proud of myself! I only have 9 days left (2 days per week for 5 weeks) in the long term care facility so I think I can make it! I'm off to work ...

6. New New Step Dad, Mom in nursing school, too much?

   Lindalou76 replied to ovnerati's topic in General Students

   You have to do what's right for you.....but at the same time you've got to take his feelings and needs into consideration as well. Stress can cause ALOT of issues in a relationship and you have to decide if you're willing to take the chance that it ...

7. Emotional Rollercoaster of Nursing School!!!

   Lindalou76 replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

   I started ns in August and it has been a major rollercoaster ride. From trying to stay on top of the reading (impossible for me), trying to pass check-offs, and now starting clinicals (which terrify me) i'm getting really sick of this darn ride! lo...

8. Don't feel ready!

   Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

   I know i'm freaking myself out about this, i just can't help but feel i'm not qualified to have a patient. I don't even have all my skills down! I guess maybe before clinical I can make some big notecards to put in my pockets on how to properly do ...

10. Don't feel ready!

    Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies. I may have to go talk to someone on Monday if I don't feel any better. I already feel the downward spiral starting and am wanting to flee the situation and don't know if i can stop it. I'm not sure if i should talk to my cli...

    Lindalou76 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    We're not working with nurses at all. There are 7 of us and we have 1 instructor. She's is VERY nice and will help us in anyway and is not the type of instructor to leave you on your own. We are only doing simple things like bed bath's, wound care...

12. Don't feel ready!

    Lindalou76 posted a topic in General Students

    We had our clinical orientation at the Long-term Care Facility and we start tending to clients next week and I just don't feel ready. Practicing skills in lab on "dummies" is one thing....doing them to real people is another story. Everytime i think ...

    Lindalou76 replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    Same thing happened to me. I failed by 1 question. I retook the test today and made a 100! Don't sweat it. Just practice a little more and I'm sure you'll pass next time.

14. Nurse Tech while in school?

    Lindalou76 posted a topic in General Students

    Has anyone, or is anyone, working as a Nurse Tech while in school? I just started ADN school and I'm considering next semester or maybe in the summer getting a job as a nurse tech. I would only be working a few days a month while I'm in classes, ma...
