You're life sounds a lot like mine. I am a second year nursing student in an ADN program. My program is accelerated, so I start a new quarter every 10 weeks. Although I love nursing, I find myself overwhelmed, and just done with it some days. Come to think of it, most of my classmates are going through the same thing. I failed microbiology as well. In my program we need a B or better to pass. I missed it by a half point. Although I passed Med/Surg II, I had to sit out of Gerontology and retake Micro. I had to wait 6 months to retake Micro, because it is not offered every semester. I was supposed to be graduating December 2014, but now I won't be done until June 2015. I know it sucks, but nursing is what I was born to do. Don't worry. You're living the life of a typical nursing student. Just prioritize, study hard, take time out for your self, and you will be okay.

Thanks for responding. I told myself that I would not get discouraged, but I was slowly starting to feel that way. I have a few friends that work where I've been applying. I will try putting their names on the application. It's tough out here lol. Thanks again!

Hello, all! I am a second year nursing student, in an ADN program. Over the past 3 months I have applied countless times to the hospitals in my area. I've applied to jobs within DMC, Oakwood, and Harper. I far surpass the minimun requirements of every job position that I have applied for, thus far. On top of that, I have eight years of patient care experience as a Medical Assistant. I volunteer, and I am a member of the NSNA. My question is, have any of you ever landed a student nurse associate or student nurse extern position while enrolled in an associate degree program? I can't figure out any other reason to why I'm not getting any call backs, besides maybe all of the students that are enrolled in BSN programs are the ones getting hired. I'd appreciate some input. Thanks in advance, Chelsey
