Hmmmm, I cant say anything about your own personal beliefs but karma may come dressed as a mob of pissed off students looking for their text books.

Sorry if I was harsh OP. I was only looking at the situation through my own lens. I would possibly offer my books free but to people I know are nursing students, so I guess I couldn't imagine anyone leaving them there, but sure anything is possible. I guess, since you are spiritual, pray or meditate on what you should do about nursing and whatever else.

If you are spiritual, then you must believe in karma. I hope for your sake that you didn't steal those books, otherwise it will get you when you are in the program. I am a very spiritual person and I think you are delusional to think these are signs from God. So you memorized codes...big bloody deal. That doesn't mean you will become a nurse or meant to be one.

I think it's a sign that you act on impulse with little thought. More than likely you took someone's books that cost several hundred dollars. I would feel really bad if I were you.

I would NEVER have taken those books. They def belonged to someone. I would recommend taking them to the nursing Dept at your school to see if someone is desperate looking for them. They ARE expensive. If no on claims them then I guess they r yours. But nursing is an honorable profession. We should behave in a honorable way... just taking them is wrong.

Someone definitely needs to look up "moral turpitude".

Every since I changed my major to Nursing, my life suddenly changed in its own little way. One night I was on the phone with a friend who is now a graduate MLT (medical laboratory technician) and told me all of the color codes in the hospital where his clinical site was. There were 14 colors and I memorized every one of them by heart in less than 2 days. Recently, I was going to a tutoring session and I happened to come across a building where most of my classes were held and I saw a stack of books on the ground all out in the open for the public to grab and go. I first saw the basic books like psychology, chemistry, etc. AND THEN I SAW NURSING BOOKS. A PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEXTBOOK, A LAB MANUAL FOR MEDICAL-SURGICAL, VOLUME 1 & 2 OF NURSING FUNDAMENTALS, AND A POCKET OB/GYN NOTEBOOK PAD. They were ALL the books I need for nursing school in that particular stack. Best believe that I took all those books knowing how EXPENSIVE nursing books are. Could those books be a legit sign that the field of Nursing is the path I need to follow? Did I make the right decision of becoming a Registered Nurse?

You were at the Nursing building and found a stack of all the textbooks you need for that nursing school because they belonged to a nursing student at that school.

I don't know if you think the fact that nursing affirms spirituality is a joke to you or you just think nursing itself is a joke, but most of us regard ourselves as scientists even though we are taught to acknowledge and foster spiritual health for the healing process. I even personally struggle with fostering religious idealogies and higher meanings to life events for my patients in that regard. So if you think this troll post is mocking most of us here, as if the majority of us believe in magical signs etc, you are greatly misinformed. I suggest you find a religious website to troll if you are looking for people to react specifically to a statement like this.
