Yes... OK I should've said it a different way I know making patients happy won't work all the time as a nurse. I'm not even in nursing school yet so I was just ranting. I'm aware of some of the reasons of being a nurse to help the patients, cure them, can inform them and yes that's only few of what nursing actually is, but I'm just saying.

So, I am getting closer and closer to finishing my pre-reqs in Nursing. Not sure yet when I will be applying to my university of choice, but by the way it looks maybe Fall 2016 or Spring 2017. Anyways, I work at a hospital as a patient transporter, I recently transferred to a more popular medical center in my area(Novant Medical Center, if anyone is in the Charlotte-Metro area.) So I am seeing a WHOLE lot more things Nursing wise at this medical center and it scares me honestly. I love everything about medicine and the human anatomy. I love to make people happy and care for them, but there is a thing that I am having a hard time with and I witness it about every week while working... Family members. Not all the time I will get one family that I just want to smash my head into a wall and never take it out, and I am not even in nursing school yet! So I can only imagine how that will be! I have met some awesome nurses who are very sweet and caring, but I have met some who honestly make me want to reconsider this career. I know it sound silly but I am a caring person, I will do ANYTHING to make you or them happy regardless of the situation. So I need some positive vibes to put me back on the track and get me out of this funk I have been in for a while. I have patience for people but lately that also has been thin... And I don't like how EVERYTHING now seems to (can't say the curse word), but irritate me. I just need some advice on stress on how to manage it better or even positive vibes. Thank you those who are reading it! -Danielle

Haha thank you I feel so old at my age. Everyone around me is graduating with a bachelor's and I'm here getting a associates in science then BSN... The community college I attend to will not let me do all 4 at once and I think I would die mentally if I did that lol, but I do need to slow down and look at everything in the big picture. I don't want anymore C's on my pre reqs. So far my GPA in my pre reqs is a 3.71 overall GPA is 2.89 :/ after this semester I hope all A's and that will boost me back up. Thank you so much! For you input

Thank you BloomNurseRN! I am not comparing myself to others I just put myself with so much pressure and expectations like a rule book. That what stresses me out most of the time! Thank you for your reply!

Ok sorry in advance if this has been already talked about. I am four classes away from applying to the University of my choice for BSN.... I'm stressed out to the max at the moment. The classes I have left are A&P I, A&P II, developmental psych, and Microbiology. Microbiology is offered this summer 2015 as a 5 week session, my gut tells me no don't do it(also others told me that as well), so that leaves me to take developmental psych in the Summer, Micro with A&P I in the Fall 2015, then A&P II in Spring of 2016. I am confused, lost, upset, and want to say forget this! But I want to become a nurse late choice in my life, I want to be a Nurse Practitioner in the long run. I am just freaking out about the classes, time getting into the university, and my age(I'm currently 22 year old). I don't want to be any more behind than I already am, but I'm just uneasy taking Micro and A&P I together. I also work part time 21+ hours a week at a hospital. Any pointers will be helpful, any self esteem boosters are welcomed as well. I'm just upset at myself and I feel like a failure because I'm always behind no matter what.

I got Clinical Nurse Specialist( I can dig this actually ), Urology nurse(very weird not what I imagined or like at the moment), Rheumatology nurse(not expecting this lol), and Health Policy Nurse(interesting...) Second round... I got Certified Midwife... I don't think I will like that, Critical Care nurse... that I like, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner... Interesting, and Domestic Violence nurse..
