"Med Student" syndrome

Nurses General Nursing

Published

For nurses or nursing students...While in the process of learning about all of the different diseases and symptoms of diseases in school, did you find yourself being overly concerned with your own health, thinking every little pain was something terrible? I did this in my Abnormal Psych class and I was just wondering if it is common! If you did have this, did you grown out of this yet or is it still plaguing you?

Specializes in LTC, MSP, ICU.

I had every medical condition -physical and mental-except child birth and at that convinced myself I was preggers at least twice

Specializes in B.S. Psychology.

Haha, that's a cute story :)

:rotfl::rotfl: That happened to me too. Every time I have a fever I get paranoid. All the diseases that has a fever enters my mind. Thank goodness it is only a fever. :)
