I'll be persistent!

I might do that, thank you for your support. Also, good luck in nursing school!

i intended to be a crna, but then psych nursing captured my interest.

i might do the lpn route, but what oppurtunities are there for lpn's? i heard hospitals were trying to phase them out.

i was looking to be a psych nurse. first semester: so close to passing, but i couldn't manage prioritizing. i re-took nursing 1 and managed to pass because i focused on prioritizing. i moved on to second semester which was med-surg and psych. i enjoyed the psych part a lot and decided i wanted to be a psych nurse instead of aiming for crna from there. now with nursing 2, my grades have just hung around the border line (75 and above is passing). i talked to my professors about how to improve my grade, but they didn't help. i had to figure out my own mistakes. med surg had 2 tests and psych had 2 tests and then there was the final. i realized that on med surg i focused on what the disease was, not the so much on nursing care on the second test. during the 2nd psych test, i didn't pace myself during the test and that had brought me down. now on the final, i failed by 0.7 points. i felt like ****. still do. i'm not out of the program. i gave a **** about clinicals unlike some of my other classmates. i didn't cheat like some of them did. i looked at the test today, i did very well on the psych portion, but got a 74.7 on the med surg. i was ******. i got outstanding reviews on my clinical evaluations, but clinicals were either pass or fail. now my problem is looking for a nursing program that would take me. i was thinking about an lpn route then getting back into a rn program. what would you suggest? any advice? also, sorry for the inappropriate language.

same, I scrubbed down every part of my body, I'm still a little paranoid

He wasn't in an iso room and I took every precaution except when I shook his hands. I washed my hands afterwards.

Have you guys ever been paranoid? One time during clinical, I introduced myself to my patient and shook his hands. He had Herpes Stomatitis, but his hands were dry. I'm still paranoid about it.
