This all sounds great, especially patient out. I never knew I had so many options like I was. I felt really lost for this really clears and lot of things and gives me good options. I do want to research when it comes to art therapy because that's just a passion project to find as a veteran but I also want to advocate for patience especially at the VA because every VA is different you know it's a national program program. For my own experience, I can say that that for a really big thing VA that I have to go to sometimes I personally choose to only go to the emergency room because I know opportunity care of there, but for every other department, it's a tossup game that I am probably gonna lose. And if I can do anything in my nursing career to change that for the VA, I would be happy to do it because everyone deserves quality healthcare, especially especially Veterans and just from my own military experience and veteran experience experience, PTSD and consequences from burning heads are going to be huge factors in the coming decades and we need to treat that that only with a scientific hand but pathetic as well because they sacrificed a lot of things for us such as the ability to have children their skin their body and they should be treated treated with respect. I'm off my soapbox LOL

Hi everyone. I'm just trying to get some plans for the future based on my past. I have an MS in Leadership that I thought I would use as an English teacher but clearly I'm not since I'm in nursing school so I plan to use in nursing but I'm not sure how. I know I could go for a MSN or NP or CRNA but those are pricy and I don't think I'd make a good NP or even nurse educator. However, I love doing research and I do want to be an advocate for students. I wanted to eventually become a Nursing School Dean so student and not go through what I went through. However, I realize I'm not the right personality for it. My own nurse manager in neuro med surg called me "weird and strange", not that I'm not a little different but that's what makes me good at communicating with patients who are sensitive or scared. Literally all of my compliments from being a PCT are "thank you for listening to me and making me laugh" or "thank you for helping me calm down when I was scared" or "thank you for holding my hand and singing to me while my arm got set in place" (Neuro Med Surg, Peds ED and ED Psych). Anyway, some direction would be very appreciated on how I can best use my skills.

I think I messed up so badly that I can't go back. Let me explain. So I started nursing school in May this year. My grades were a mixed bag. This semester has kicked my butt though. Especially farm psychology and pathophysiology. Recently I got super super sick with laryngitis after taking a pharmacology test, which I'm bombed and I had to quit the class leaving me with just physiology well I was sick. My parents tried to help me study for path out by super grilling me with questions studying and looking back. It's complete nonsense that they were doing that's why I was actively mostly unable to talk or breathe really well. Anyway, to get them to leave I wrote an email to my Dean asking for her to intervene because my professor had to answer the question I had and in the email my parents told me to ask if it was a racial or rumor accusation that had cost a delay, which makes even less sense now. My dean was appalled that I asked that question And in retrospect I'm appalled that I asked that question but I knew I just wanted my parents to leave so I could sleep and get better. Anyway, my question is should I leave this semester and go to another school because I've been accepted into an ED program which is much closer to my house than BSN program. The BSN program is a four hour round trip ATM program is 20 minutes round-trip and has a higher NCLEX pass rate plus I work at a state hospital that will pay for my BSN. What are you guys think?

I'm in kind of an odd spot. I am trying to use my VR&E Benefits to go to school. I was attending a local 4 year college and I applied to their Nursing program but didn't get in. Now I'm at a local community college and I have 5 options: 1. Apply to the RN program at the community college. 2. Apply to the Rad Tech program at the community college. (Will need to retake English 2, Gen Psyc, A&P 1, Humanities Elective or English 1-I got B's in all of these) 3. Apply to the Physical Therapy Assistant program at the community college. (Will need to retake English 2, Gen Psyc, A&P 1, Humanities Elective or English 1-I got B's in all of these) 4. Apply to the ABSN program an hour away. 5. Apply to the second BSN program an hour away. (Will need to take Biology) I'm open to any all suggestions. I'm at a point in my life where I realized that I cannot keep chasing my parents dreams over of my own (Even at financial costs because getting fired from jobs is also not making me financially stable). Nursing is something I want, specifically CRNA because I get to work with people on a one-on-one basis and I don't want to overstress because of my past mental health history as someone who has Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and I don't want the good work I've been doing to improve my mental health to be in vain. I want it to be for good. I want to help people. I want to help veterans. I want to help me feel more like me, good days and bad days.

Hi, I'm applying to 6 schools this fall and I want to know how competitive I am in regards to the programs listed. I am planning to take College Algebra, (Calculus 1-RETAKE), Biology 1, and Chem 2 (Retake) this fall. I am looking into a future as a CRNA or an FNP/WHNP using my Chapter 31 benefits from the military. Can someone please look at my attached chart and look at how I can best apply my grades and chances of getting into MUSC, The Citadel, Clemson, Emory, or the Technical College of the Low Country (UVA, Duke, and Yale are way too far)
