Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

Published

In my job as a CNA, I'm always meeting new coworkers who say they are nursing students. After talking more about it, they tend to mostly be pre-nursing students not yet admitted into nursing school.

I don't know why, but it bothers me when people say they are nursing students before they are actually admitted into nursing school. Almost as if a pre-med student tells people they are in medical school.

What are your thoughts on this? This is really not an important topic, but I've been curious what others would think about this!

Oooohh.. how about this situation? -

LPN goes back to school, has to take a bunch of pre-req's to get back into a bridge program for an RN..

They're a nurse, and a student, but not a nursing student? :sneaky:

Happened to me..
