This is a brief background about me, Hispanic, male, 21, 4.0 gpa 3rd year towards my BSN. The main reason I mentioned that was to give you a little heads up about why I feel that nurses are unappreciated. I grew up telling myself "I want a job that involves patient care". Off-course everyone assumed on me being a MD because i have a way with math and science (it just clicks to me with ease) and graduated top 8 in my class. I however do not want to become a MD. I don't know if it's because of so much more schooling or the cost $$$ or just because I don't want go that route. So I got into the nursing field and I love what I am learning. However, my family and best friends disagree with what I am doing. They constantly tell me "you're a leader not a follower that's what MD do not nurses" my parents background is still stuck from where we came from( IN Dominican Republic nurse are so limited to only what an AID can do in USA ). So I try to educate them and tell them the huge difference and how our primary care was a NP! But off course they think I can do better so it brings me down at times. Not Only do I have parents that think I should change my mind but the friends i group with tell me in a "nicer" way " dude you're so smart just become MD so you can take charge and make a lot $$$, besides you'll get more respect because DR do all the important stuff ". I could not hold my tongue to my peers and tried to informed them with the reality of how much work nurses do and how we are the gate keepers between DR and clients how we pretty much make sure they don't kill clients be double checking everything and how we give that comfort which draws me into nursing:nurse:. The whole point of this is to see if anyone else feel unappreciated how do you handle it:mad:. Also, I usually don't care what people say about my personal decisions but it hurts when it comes from your loves ones Nursing student.:redbeathe *Excuse my bad grammer

Hello, I have spoken to one of my advisor he told me thats the overall score, also i believe since it is a community college maybe thats why the aspects are not so high the prereq are sociology, psychology, AP 1, and english 101 which i have an A on all four subjects it just seems wierd to me that a 58 is so low but i guess the reason the scores are higher because a comparsion to a 4 year school oppose to a 2 year

Hello, i just wanted to ask a simple question. My school min grade for the teas V is a 58.6 which to me sounds extremely low or am i wrong? Is the 58 a median or is that low? Also im not the best time test taker but I do have a grasp on most of the topics on the teas so IF(which im not) i was to go and take the teas v without studying would you believe i would score close to lower or above a 58?
