I am so thankful for you offering. Let me know how you’d like to connect. I appreciate it so much.

They didn’t mention about having us wear masks in clinical. I think they’ll provide surgical masks I assume but not n95. And also, they said we won’t be with known covid-19 patients so I think they will not require PPE. It makes me nervous still....

Our program did online clinical for now. It's been a lot more reading and zoom meetings!! We are set to go back into clinical in June, however I don't know if I feel safe. I see mixed messages online about safety for healthcare workers. How do you guys feel about it?! I want safety first as well. They are about to send us back to in person clinical and I'm really not sure that it is safe. Did they let you guys back in yet?

Thank you so much this really did help. The art of winning friends and influencing people. this is a great tip and I really appreciate you!

Yes! I noticed that a lot of nursing students talk about failing out etc. even my professors have! And it scares me more than the actual work itself. and I’ve been doing pretty well in my classes to be honest. I got through the first 6 classes with A and B+ (3.6 GPA) I think what makes me the most stressed out is what people say, and the coursework is something that you’re able to handle with time and efforts. It’s definitely difficult but it’s not as tough as people say it is you just have to put in the work. My first time taking physio was difficult but if you work extra hard to build your foundation it’s going to be okay in subsequent classes.

Hello! I am in an absn program and they say they want us in clinical in June. They’re trying to get us in to train. We have been online since March. I feel conflicted. I want to be a nurse but I have mixed feelings about the current situation involving covid-19. I've heard of things not being very safe for healthcare workers so I am concerned about the clinical setting. I also live with someone who has a current health condition so would be at more risk. if I do take a leave of absence it would be for a year, and during the time off I would do a masters in public health online. Maybe in a year there will be more safety precautions or more PPE available. thank you for any advice! I just keep seeing conflicting messages online and in the news.

I feel like everyone made their friends and I don’t fit in. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m awkward? I didn’t think I am but it seems like everyone made their cliques and fast. I moved from another state and just started the program. I just don’t know why I’m having a hard time with this. I feel so sad about it. I just know that nursing school will require team efforts down the line and I feel like I’m not a part of the group. Can anyone relate?
