  1. Why get my BSN?

    It really depends on your goals. I'm getting my ADN right now. If I want to specialize down the road I'll of course have to get my BSN but really I just want to get the ADN and test the waters out(and take a break from school) before deciding about ...
  2. You asked why people dropped and for the most part we answered. By the nature of the action you're inquiring about of course the answers are going to be down and dirty. Someone feeling the need or having to abandon their dream isn't going to be a fun...
  3. Every hospital has different equipment so it's hard to prepare students for everything. What I have been doing is when I'm paired with a nurse that you can tell is open to teaching, I ask as many questions as time permits. But yeah I think this is n...
  4. I agree with others. Anticipating the stress of nursing school is one thing and living it is another. Your entire life will change once you enter nursing school. I am about 6 weeks in and went through a mini mourning period of the life I left behind ...
  5. Has Anyone Considered Chiropractic?

    Yes I'm a chiropractic assistant and I love it. Unfortunately the room for growth in my role is minimal so it was either pursue chiropractic or take a different route. I decided nursing for various reasons and these are my own personal reasons so ta...
  6. Has Anyone Considered Chiropractic?

    I currently work for a chiropractor and I'm a first year nursing student. I do have conflicts with some of the traditional methods of healing but the main thing that we have to remember is that there are many opinions out there and we can't tell peo...
  7. Is it just me???

    Micro will either make you paranoid or it will make you realize there are bugs everywhere and you've made it this long with them and they didn't become more dangerous or prevelant over night. For me the latter happened.
  8. Nursing School Blues??

    witty_online_monker. You just described my experience to a T. I felt fairly incompetent. I didn't exactly have a Scrub's moment where I cried in the supply closet like Elliot but I definitely was in no rush to leave it after I found the cup I needed...
  9. Lost it today

    I know how you feel! I went through this. I got sick and pretty much had a breakdown(like we can afford to be sick with all that we have to do!). I had to drag my tail to class when I'd rather be under some covers nursing myself back to health. It...
  10. Nursing School Blues??

    I'm glad this thread popped up because I sure needed it. I have the blues myself and I'm only a few weeks in. I'm so used to being a perfectionist and doing everything perfect all the time. It's hard to come to the realization that due to all the ...
  11. negativity in nursing school

    In my class there is no negativity. I think it varies. I talked to a friend who is in the same school as me but has different professors and the class dynamic for her is so different from my experience with my class. There are no outcasts in our c...
  12. Am I being too hard on myself?

    I'm definitely a perfectionist and I think this is why it bothered me so much. Most of my classmates seemed thrilled at their performance and suggested that it went off without a hitch. Maybe they fumbled too and just aren't beating themselves up ab...
  13. A&P(Especially the P side) was hard for different reasons. Some things it was just hard to wrap your brain around in that class for me. Nursing school so far is cut and dry. You do this for this and that for that and this is the definition of thi...
  14. So far I've been doing fairly well in nursing school. Aced all the tests and felt pretty confident. But then clinical day came and I fell short. I wouldn't say it was a total bust. I performed the tasks I was told to do but it did not go off without...
  15. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    I started August 27th. I've been lurking around here but finally decided to sign up and post. So much work. Been through 3 weeks and have taken two written exams, two lab skill tests and had my first day of clinical. I agree with flipflopgenna. Tak...
