   Today was the last day of the trimester, we finished with the pharmacology final. On Tuesday was our med-surg final. I've heard from several classmates that they just need ____ points to pass. Some are doing the bare minimum and just aiming for that ...

3. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

   xtina334 replied to RNCM123's topic in Career Support

   That's so true! I'm not talking about OP though, I just meant a lot of people on this forum. I guess the happy nurses are too happy to spend their time on this little unhappy corner of the web

4. Failed nursing. Now what?

   xtina334 replied to Mirelasa's topic in Canada

   Very good, but nothing was related on how to manage anxiety and didn't include any ideas on how to be better prepared should the OP decide to go back to nursing. Again, this is why I said she should gain some CNA experience so that she gradually feel...

5. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

   xtina334 replied to RNCM123's topic in Career Support

   Side note to your thread: Why is this kind of attitude so prevalent on this website? It seems a lot of people on here are bitter, sarcastic, condescending know-it-alls. I have 1 year left of school and if this is what awaits, I am not looking forward...

6. Failed nursing. Now what?

   xtina334 replied to Mirelasa's topic in Canada

   Then I'm surprised you aren't more compassionate towards others that struggle with anxiety. Instead of shooting down the OP's entire career aspirations, maybe you can recommend some coping strategies that helped you while in school and at clinical. I...

7. Failed nursing. Now what?

   xtina334 replied to Mirelasa's topic in Canada

   I think it would be wise to gain experience as a CNA first to get comfortable around patients and accustomed to doing vitals/BP and just generally being around patients. I had a really scary clinical professor once so I know what you went through :) ...

    Thank you for the constructive and kind post! I agree. I have chosen to ignore her. It's sad that there are so many rude people in nursing when it's a profession that involves a great deal of kindness and compassion.

    We have assigned seats. I can multi-task And it's hard to pay attention to class when feeling uncomfortable. I try not to use my phone much. Everyone I know occasionally texts during class, not saying it's ok but that's how it is in 2017 I suppose!

    Thank you for your useful response! I have chosen not to pay attention to her and pretend like I don't hear anything when she's slamming stuff down. I'm sure she loves it haha!
