I've been kind of worried about how this is going to work. So... I've been accepted into my schools Fall nursing program which I'm so excited for. However, I have absolutely no prior medical experience. Is this going to hurt me? A lot of people from my prerequisite classes were CNA's or PCT's etc... I feel like they will have a huge advantage over me. I have worked with the public all my life. I am probably one of the very few people who can honestly say this, but I love interacting with people! I've successfully delt with happy, sad, angry people. (My degree in psychology also helps that lol). I have worked as HR for a national home health care company, and a general manager to a few subway restaurants. With each of those jobs I've had to deal with a lot of stress. So I know I will do well when it comes to stress and communication with people. Also, gore doesn't bother me. But I'm just worried I'll get lost with all the lingo. I am taking a non required med term class this summer hoping that will help some. Anyways, what are your thoughts? Anyone else in this same predicament? Anyone else successfully arise through this same thing?
