3. Help! I can't decide whether to return to nursing school

   bigeyes4 replied to bigeyes4's topic in General Students

   I've been working with a clinical psychologist regarding the meltdowns and they are due to my inherent hypersensitivity. I may be able to improve that, but I don't think I will ever totally get rid of it. I just have this hunch that everything is g...

4. Help! I can't decide whether to return to nursing school

   bigeyes4 replied to bigeyes4's topic in General Students

   I just know I can do it. I wrote a letter to the department head today requesting to be reinstated and to be given the opportunity to challenge nursing 1 with their exam. It is going before a committee in May and I'll find out then. I know I can d...

   I think that is what I am going to end up doing. Are you a musician? I play violin and piano. I was just noticing your logo there. Thanks for the suggestions!

6. 29 too old to start nursing school?

   bigeyes4 replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I am 57 and may start in the fall. I tried twice before. Am I foolish to think that I can do this? or should do this? My children are older and I am married. What do you think?

7. Help! I can't decide whether to return to nursing school

   bigeyes4 replied to bigeyes4's topic in General Students

   Actually, I did want to work for an insurance company. I was thinking of legal nurse consultant too since I used to be a paralegal. I want to be a nurse to make a positive impact on people and to learn the material in which I am extremely intereste...

8. Help! I can't decide whether to return to nursing school

   bigeyes4 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi all - I have a low threshold for stress. I have had melt-downs during each attempt at nursing school. I have taken the first semester twice - almost to the end. I'd say that each time I dropped it I allowed the clinical instructor to stress me ...

9. Ccri Spring 2013 admission

   bigeyes4 replied to Bdev628's topic in Rhode Island

   Anyone who plans to attend the nursing program at CCRI is masochistic. The clinical instructors are nothing but abusive. I never once heard the plural of diagnosis pronounced correctly. They kept saying "diagnosises". These teachers are illiterate...

    bigeyes4 replied to Stanislav's topic in Student Assist

    I encountered the same situations at my former nursing program. Most of the time, the instructors can't pronounce terms of medications. I haven't heard one of them pluralize the word diagnosis correctly. (diagnoses - They keep saying diagnosises)....

    bigeyes4 replied to Stanislav's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you for your nice response. I am feeling better by now. I have been brainstorming for alternate avenues. I know that I have strenghts and it only makes sense to capitalize on them. So, once again, I seek my niche. But it's ok. I have a ...

    bigeyes4 replied to Stanislav's topic in Student Assist

    I sure wish I had been in a program like that. Our program was definitely brutal. I would have preferred a BSN program, but I didn't do the right research. I have a bachelor's in a non-nursing area and could have done well, had I found the right p...

13. Rahhh! Nursing school is taking its toll

    bigeyes4 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I quit nursing school. I couldn't stand my instructor's constant bullying. I am depressed about it. I think about death a lot, but I have no plan.

14. NEU Direct Entry Online?

    bigeyes4 replied to cwrn1's topic in Massachusetts

    HI - I just quit an associate's degree program because the instructor was too sarcastic for my tastes. Is this typical behavior for clinical nursing instructors or are there some institutions that actually have teachers who encourage their students?...

15. Assuming The Nurse Role

    bigeyes4 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I am neither thriving nor survivng in nursing. Hence my exit from the program. I know that I''m obsessing on this unfortunate event, but I just can't get my mind off it. I have a lot going for me without being a nurse, but it really is dishearteni...
