Just curious if anyone in the nursing school experience has stories of friends (or family members/partners) that "just don't get it" when you try to explain what nursing school really involves? Prior to this venture into nursing school, I too thought that it was "just like any other major."
The only way I've tried to explain to those I'm used to spending time with on a regular basis is by describing what doctors go through. For some reason, everyone whos anyone understands that Med school and Law school are challenging and time consuming so it helps them relate.
I guess I've just been thinking a lot of how I'm going to "say goodbye" to my regular lifestyle :cheers: at the end of the summer and I was curious if others go through the same frustration.
Aside from the people I know from school, everyone in my life thinks I just "chose a career change, and it's no different than deciding to major in business."
Anyone who has been through nursing school & then worked as a nurse "gets it". I think this is why nurses share such an incredibly close bond. It's almost like belonging to a secret club or something. We make wonderful friendships with one another that last a lifetime. It's kindof like the brotherhood you see in the military, police force, or fire department.
and I was curious if others go through the same frustration.

I am not even going to start that debate, but I will say in the end everyone has the same title - RN.
