2. Is nursing school as bad as they say?

   Clint1076 replied to sarahelaine08's topic in General Students

   It's tough but it's totally doable. I work 30+ hrs a week and did just fine. Also, I had classmates with babies/small kids. You will definitely need to get your time management skills down but you'll need that when you're a nurse, too. Learn it now. ...

   I know I HATED hearing this when I was a student but I'm going to say it anyway- med/surg was a great way to "find myself", develop my nursing and time management skills, and hone in the nursing instincts. Don't rule out med/surg!!!

6. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

   Clint1076 replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

   I suppose stress is relative, but I've found that hospice nursing is the lowest stress environment that I've worked in (I've done Med/surg, MICU, NICU, Psych). Sure, there are good days and bad and then there is the necessary evil of paperwork and ch...

   Sorry I missed this. I don't have kids, so I'm not sure how everyone does it. I know a lot leave them with spouse/grandparents.

    I'm finishing up my first semester. If I recall correctly, it's not long after the deadline that they send out the emails. Good luck! This program is intense but it is great. Seriously, going to nursing school and BSHP was the best decision I've ever...
