There's a girl in my class who came in undecided, applied for nursing during the first semester and was accepted so she was taking A&P I this semester so she would be able to start the nursing curriculum in the fall after completing A&P II this summer. Well, A&P I just ended, and she has officially withdrawn from the nursing program. She said
I dropped the nursing program yesterday and changed my major to psych. I just don't want to do bedside care... the thought of wiping butts made my cringe. So i dropped. :/ The thought of it just scared me. and they told me that if i drop they won't take me back so nursing is no longer an option
I was really surprised with this since just a couple weeks ago we were talking about how excited we were to be going to the college of nursing in the fall!
Anyone else know someone who's dropped because of fear?
I almost dropped. I withdrew from A&P I last semester because I wasn't going to get a C and I thought it was pointless to stay in a class that caused way more stress than one class should, where I wasn't taught anything, and that would ruin my GPA only to have to retake it...and there was awhile that I was seriously considering changing my major to sociology with a concentration in elementary/special education since education has been forever my fallback plan. I just didn't think I could hack nursing since I couldn't hack A&P. I also just didn't have the desire to try A&P again. But I regained my senses and I retook A&P I this semester and couldn't be happier. I would definitely be kicking myself right now had I just given up. Nursing is what I want to do even though there have already been some roadblocks in my way.
:nurse:I for one was thinking about not pursing nursing because of my grades. I fear I will not get in the nursing program because I am not a straight "A" student. I am more like an average "B" student, so I have been going back and forth about doing nursing. I am currently enrolled at GSU and I had the teacher herself to tell me they take the high GPA's first. I hear that nursing is very stressful and it will take on toll on your health lifting up patients. I talked to my Godmother and she told me that I can't be listening to what everybody has to say about nursing and this is so TRUE. We all get stressed at times and fear things but that is part of life, so I am just going to continue to keep my head up and pray. I have come to far to let go now.:redbeathe
