Hey everyone! Since the supplemental app is due soon I thought I would start a thread where SDSU Fall 2016 hopefuls can compare their stats. So I'll start: Cumulative GPA: 3.71 Pre-Req GPA: 4.00 TEAS score: 84.0% That puts me at 56 total points Not sure if that will be good enough but we'll see. Feel free to share yours if you want and good luck everyone!

@SoldierNurse Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! You have really helped me a lot! :) Hope you have a great day!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries about this! :) I guess I worry about being the only introverted or quiet nurse which is obviously not true but I feel like outgoing people sometimes don't understand us introverts which makes being around a group of extroverted people a little intimidating. Maybe that's just my own thinking though.

Thank you so much! You helped relieve a lot of my worry! I am pretty introverted and it's not that I"m too 'shy' to talk to people it's just that there are times that'd I'd rather not talk which makes me quieter than others. I'm much more of a listener/observer. I agree with you that this makes us better at empathizing as well as noticing things that others might not. I'm a very observant person which I'm sure will come in handy as a nurse! I guess I should just focus on the personality traits that will bring out the best in me as a nurse instead of worrying so much! Again, thank you so much for your response I really appreciate it! :)

Yeah but most that I found were posts regarding the blood and ickies of being a nurse. I'm fine with that end of nursing and had my own personal question that was different from all others I found. Thanks for the help though.

Hi everyone! I am currently a pre-nursing student and will be a nurse in the somewhat near future. I have browsed this site often, especially the L&D section as that's where I hope to be one day and have learned from users of this site how hard and stressful nursing can be, especially as a new grad. I know that I want to be a nurse but I am a somewhat reserved person and worry that I won't be able to handle the stress of it all. It's probably even more worrisome given the fact that I haven't even been to nursing school yet and really know nothing. I am wondering if there are any new grads that have a somewhat reserved personality or are easily frazzled that can give me some insight of how being a new grad was for you. By reserved I mean that I'm almost never the most talkative person in the room and definitely have nowhere near a type A personality. I think being more reserved makes me get intimidated more easily as well. But with that being said I know how to communicate to get things done and to do what I need to do in the workplace, if that makes since. I am a quiet person, but I am not shy in that I am unable to talk to people. I guess overall I'm just worried that nursing won't be for me even though it's what I want to do and am hoping to get some insight from nurses that know where I'm coming from. What are some qualities in a person that make a good nurse? I really hope this makes since as I'm a bit tired:eek: Any insight its helpful! Thank you :)
