This is a just for fun question!
Did you have a plan B in nursing school? Like if you failed or did not like it. I know most people were probably all in or this was their one and only chance to further their education so I don't mean to be insensitive to those situations. My plan B is radiation technology.

No plan B for me. I went through too many sacrifices and believed God had told me to pursue it. I'm committed to getting there.
I started off trying to complete all prereqs to get into a competitive BSN. I ended up completing some prereqs, becoming a CNA, taking more prereqs, then becoming an LVN. I'm now in an ADN program.
I will get there eventually! 😀

There's a strip club just up the street from campus... so yeah, there's that. Lol
I've got two left feet so that's not an option for me!

Depending on your "best before" date, Seeking Arrangements might be an option.

Um, no. Who goes into something thinking "now if I blow this, I'm going to do X"? Way to set yourself up mentally for failure!

No way ....it was too big of a time commitment and financial investment. My only "plan B" would have been to pull myself together and get it right.
Word to that, girlfriend!
I will be honest and admit that I did not work as a CNA before entering nursing school so even though I tried to gather information online and ask my nurse friends about thier jobs I knew I would not know what I was truly getting myself into until clinical.
I'm not the type of person that will ever find my passion in their work (or at least I dont think I am) so I went into nursing optimistically but for financial stability. That being said I spent five years in a job I completely loathed (dental assisting) so I at least want to like my job a little.
That's the main reason I have a Plan B.

Failure was never an option. But I suppose if I HAD failed..."Plan B" would have been either getting back into school or staying a SAHM!
