Oh one more thing.... I'll be honest with you i'm not one of these 4.0 students. I'm not the smartest person. But i try and i care, and i learn through experience, and yes i had to retake a class or too. Yes this may look bad to other students but i've spoke with other teachers and nurses and to them it show's dedication. It may have taken me longer to get through this program than others. But it's what i want to do. I know i can do it. I know i'm not dumb i just have test anexity. Any way the point of my blabbing ....dont get discouraged. If i can do this any one can. If it is want you want to do go for it. No... It is not the funnest thing in the world to retake a class. It is the most disappointing. But you know what? I learned more from the classes i retook ,the 2nd time than i ever did the first. And i don't regret it. I don't recommend it to anyone but sometime it is needed and it is worth it. It made me smarter and it's going to make me a better nurse.

I have to say nursing school is hard all together... It's a combination of everything together. It's alot to take on all at once. I'm not married I don't have kids and it's still a lot for me. I have the best boyfriend ever and I don't know what I would have done without him. We have been together for 5 years this march and he has been patiently waiting for me to finsih. I will be done this Dec. It is just hard to balance a job, school, studying, clinicals, a boyfriend and my family. it's like a juggling act. the little time you do have to spend with people everyone is fighting over who gets you. (Do i spend it with my boyfriend who i haven't seen in a week and I miss or my sister who i never get to see) And then you dont have time to slack. You don't have time to just take a day off... you get the slightest bit behind and it almost impossible to chatch up... get orginized and stay on top of your reading and assignments... Good luck...

I am going in to Nursing for one succurity it is a steady income we are always going to need nurses in this world. There is always going to be people who are sick and who are in pain. I have always been a caring person. I love to help people. My family still worries about me going into this field I get attached to people a little to easily. I came home from the second day of clinicals at a nursing home crying because the lady I had taken care of the week before had passed away. It makes me happy to be able to help someone forget their illness even for just a little while. I am not becoming a nurse for the people around me or my future co-workers but for my future patients those i will save and those who will save me and teach me. Yet saddly i will admit as I have gone though the nursing program the last few years and I have become really annoyed with the motive of those around me. I see myself as a very common sence smart person. I do great in the clinical field. And when we sit in the class room and the teacher asks questions I am always the first to answer. Yet I have test anxiety to the point where it holds me back from doing very well on the exams. So when I see these other students who are book smart and who have no people skills who are only going into the nursing field for the pay. And They make it look so easy and I have struggled my way through and I know that I am going to make a great nurse and those around me tell me I am going to make a great nurse because I have a huge heart. I is kind of irritating. There are some people who I am going to school with that I hope I never run into again after we graduate. I hope they are never my nurse, and if they are I am going to request another one because I don't turse my life in their hands. (I think it is good that they Try to weed people out but I think that it is also sad at the same time because they weed out some people who would have made great nurses and yet they skip some of those who scare the hell out of me) Sorry I think this turned into me venting. Thanks for reading if you did. :tinkbll:
