Im so angry and bitter!

I was in a nursing program. I worked hard to get into my nursing program and on my first day of school find out I have to move (bc of military) I had to withdrawl and start the process over for another program that has different requirements. I saw on fb that my nursing class started their clinicals today and seeing them in their nursing uniforms makes me so sad because I'm not there.

So here it goes..I have one extra class to take, the TEAS, and the stress of hoping I get accepted.

I needed to vent...came here hoping people would understand

I'm so sorry, Ashley. That is so tough. It's completely understandable that you would feel bitter and angry right now. It sounds like you know what you need to do next, but even so, your feelings are valid.

I can understand feeling frustrated and angry about the situation. Keep in mind that, in the long run, over a career in nursing, this is just a minor speed bump ... Best wishes for your journey!

Sometimes it just sucks.

I'll cross my fingers and send you good thoughts for a quick entry into a fantastic school and that you can finish quickly.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Imagine how you would have felt if it happened halfway through your program. Hang in there.

Yes!! I am so thankful this didn't happen halfway through my program. I am hoping and praying I get into the next program because if I do I think it will be a lot better for me

[Buyer beware, BSN]

Whenever I hear that someone else is being bitterly disappointed I fall off my chair in amazement thinking how unempathetic and I, me, mine the responces to other people's woes can be.

And this given the hype that nursing is the "caring" profession.

OP: you have two invaluable things going for you right now. One is youth and the other is time. With those two things in your favor the possibilities are limitless.

Thank you and your husband for all you do to keep the rest of us safe.

The road to success Is hardly ever a straight line even for those in their shiny new nurse's suits.

Would being re-assigned be a possibility at the next school as well? If so, you should consider getting an ASN degree rather than the BSN (don't know what you are currently trying to do). That way, if you decide to go for your BSN, you can do an online RN to BSN program which would not be impacted so much by a physical move.

I was actually thinking in a two year program. I still plan to get an adn/asn first at our new location especially since many RN-BSN programs are online.
