I think it's the place you work for. The issues you are having are things that can be changed, simply by being in a different position. Before you decide to quit the nursing profession, I think you owe it to yourself to try a job in a completely different environment. Try a different hospital, on a different floor. Heck, a different floor in the same hospital can be a night and day difference. Remember why you became a nurse in the first place. Don't let a less than desirable work situation ruin your outlook on the career. Also, I don't think it would be a bad idea to find out what type of nursing you really love. Is it ER? Is it Med-Surg? Is it long-term care? If you are in an area of nursing that you love, I think it becomes easier to deal with some of the other things. Keep your head up and just remember one thing...YOU SAVE LIVES!

Hi all! I was curious to know if there are any students starting nursing school are in nursing school with a newborn/ baby. I will be starting nursing school this fall and my wife is pregnant. Our due date is actually 2 days before nursing classes start! I just want some advice. I know this can be done but I'm sure it's difficult. Help!

Thank you! I'll check them out!

I'm quite aware that I have to have a Bachelors for an accelerated nursing degree. I will graduate in May with my Bachelors degree.

It's not that I'm in a rush, I'm just worried about financials. I don't know if I will be able to afford attending school for the pre-reqs plus attending for the nursing degree. I also don't want to have to move from school to school. Ideally, I would take my pre-reqs at the same school that I would receive my nursing degree from. I am open to moving for a great program. I currently live in East Tennessee. I will do some research on CNR. Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone has heard of accelerated bsn or msn programs that starts the program with pre-reqs in the first semester? Schools like Union University only require A&P I and II and General Psychology to be admitted to the program. Once you start the program, you take Micro, Stats, Patho, and Developmental Psychology all within your first session (16 weeks). Does anyone know about any other programs that are similar to this? Thank you!

I have hated science since I was in elementary school, and I have never been good at it! Starting my nursing pre-reqs soon, there is no way around them! How do you make it through the classes without getting discouraged?

I am currently enrolled in a 4 year university and I am considering transferring to a community college. I started out as a freshman with the intentions of becoming a nursing major but I allowed myself to get discouraged by the science courses, therefore leading me to another major. Now approaching my junior year with a major I hate, I am having a lot of regret. It is too late to switch to nursing at my current school (I go to a private school and it would be expensive to have to stay at least 3 more years). Would it be a smart option to start in the fall at a community college as a nursing major? I looked into accelerated BSN programs but I just don't think I have it in me to continue college, knowing that at the end of my program I won't be a nurse. I welcome any advice! Thank you!
