Cheers, and good luck on your career swap. I swapped out teaching art for nursing and I am in my 5th semester now. Let me tell you, I have a degree in a pretty demanding field already, my courses were not easy... But nursing school cranked that amplifier all the way to 11. My compliments for swapping a career where you protected and served the people to... well another career that does the same thing, but a lot differently.

This stuff doesn't just come super naturally for me. The only way I can really pick apart a question on any given topic is if I have had plenty of NCLEX style questions to digest in practice. They have to have very good rationales too. I can use google to locate some, but I've found some pretty untrustworthy submissions before, the and same can be said for Quizlet. I though I'd try here first though. The test is on Wednesday and I have a 14 hour clinical planned for tomorrow and an extended lecture on Monday. To say I am a little pressed for time and feeling the stress is an understatement haha. I've found plenty of questions related specifically to Shock and Burns. Sepsis, DIC, and MODS are my actual problem areas. I used quizlet and Nurses labs. I've tried Khan Academy but they are kind of mostly broader in their coverage. I found about 3 or 4 questions that suited my purposes there. Also, I have ATI, but as with Khan Academy, it's a little less focused on these subjects. Anyone have any other suggestions to look into for me?? Thanks in advance to anyone that has a contribution.

I have to love it. I deleted most of my social media to cut down on distractors in my life, and here I am on allnurses to really hone in and optimize my studying, only to get sucked into a thread haha. To answer your question. No? My decision to enter school to become a nurse is solely based on two things that are important to me. Those are that I have a good career that I can feel great about, and that I can leave some sort of positive mark with my jobs. I have a degree in education and my field of specialty was general art. After bouncing from school to school for work and then 1 full year of under employment, I once again threw life on the backburner to go into a field with more opportunities. I'm 34 and I was never married. I lead a pretty unconventional life style. I'm not a church goer, I prefer quiet days indoors reading, and I paint when I have free time. I hate hate hate hate football (which I am told is un-American) or really most sports, but especially football. I am a huge nerd, I love going to conventions and I play PS4 or Switch ... Or ... I did. I also practice ethical polyamory as opposed to monogamy. A lot of people in rural Alabama do not really find these things to be positive traits. It is already difficult to find soul mates in these situations. The thought of meeting someone awesome did cross my mind, as it does when ever I start a new chapter in my life, but the idea was dashed immediately when I met my classmates. Great people, but a lot were already married (I live in the south, people marry young), before the close of our very first semester I can note 3 people getting engaged. Also, many of the single women in my program are in their late teens or early 20s. I prefer to date people a little closer to my age. Dating isn't off the table, but it isn't exactly a priority.
