Please if you take anything from this post DO NOT QUIT the program. Oh my gosh do not quit. There is sooooooo much more out there than patient care for nurses. I have been in your shoes 100%, I have delt with depression off and on for the past 10 years. It can be hard cause it creeps up on you, especially when you have distractions... like school. They have online therapy and psychiatrist (for anti-depressantsand anti-anxiety meds) Try Doctor On Demand - Urgent Care Doctors & Mental Health . I swear it saved me, they accept most insurance and you can get an apt within like a day. I do therapy on there too, its been super nice especially with school schedules (most have saturday appointments). Maybe you aren't depressed, but talking it out with someone like a therapist/psychiatrist can help you get to the root of what is going on. I have met girls that quit their BSN programs and they told me it was one of the biggest mistakes. When applying for any post grad school they said it was hard to get beyond that they dropped out of nursing school during interveiws(and we all know now a bachelors degree is the new asociates degree and to pay off your bachelors you might as well go back to school for a masters). You are smart, obviously, look at how far you have came. You love the acedemic side of health sciences, for most that is the hardest part. You made the 1st step by making this post and reaching out. Feel free to message me if you want, but I would for sure NOT QUIT and talk to someone even if it's not a therapist.

I haven't started my program yet, we are currently in the Midwest and I DO NOT want to stay we were looking at Texas (Dallas is where my sister is) or Florida Tampa or Miami area. Anywhere but CO or AZ haha so I'm hoping I will be good. I'm planning on looking at medical Spanish courses or getting a tutor cause I know bilingual will be a selling point. I haven't started my program and spent the last 4 years in pharm research. I use to EMT and enjoyed emergency medicine. I graduate in a year (it's an accelerated BSN program). Thank you for easing my mind a little

I was recently contacted by a girl who recently graduated from the same nursing program I am about to enter. She was telling me she was having a hard time finding a position and was now working as a pharm tech?!? She was reaching out to me in hopes I had any job leads for her. It totally freaked me out because our school claims to have a 97% placement rate. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe she is one of those people who got through school, but just didn't enjoy the actual career of nursing. It looked like she had a few different RN positions this year (physical therapy, home health care). Is it hard to find a good nursing job after graduation? I am terrified to get out of school and end up in the same position as I was before I started
