RN171

Hi, I just came across your post and am wondering how things are going for you?

I can say that I did not want to be a nurse. I was young with children and was going to go to college to give us a better future. Looked up salary of a RN and compared to my minimum wage job and it was a huge difference. I thought being a nurse will make everyone so proud of me and will lead me to a better future so enrolled in the program. Fast forward 6 years, still am a nurse and can’t really see myself being anything else. I wish I would of became a veterinarian though.

Hi, I’ve been interested in becoming wound care certified. I will have 2 years full time experience in wound care in November of this year. Can I get any help on how this process goes. I looked into WCEI there is an online course but just a bit confused on how it goes. Once registering for the course and completing it where do I go from there? Any help will be appreciated.

I completely understand how you felt that day. I'm sorry you had to go through that and wish you luck on your NCLEX. Most people that commented forget that things can happen and if they were in that situation they would of felt that same frustration you did.

I start clinicals in September and I am scared of the stress that is coming. I'm terrified because i hear lots of people say that it only gets harder as time passes. I'm scared of failing out of nursing school. I have two kids under 3. I'm worried that this will make it so difficult for me. I'm scared that I am biting more than i can chew. I am so stressed out just thinking about it. I don't want to let anyone down or myself. I just needed to vent 😢 Has anyone ever felt this way? How did things turn out?

I got accepted in a two yr adn program and have my prerequisite classes that will start on September. I got a packet of things I have to complete before starting clinicals and one of them is a background check. I'm scared they won't let me continue in the program because when I was 12 i was arrested for shoplifting and had my finger prints taken but I never got a court date or had to pay anything. Will it still appear in my record? If it does would I still be accepted? I'm so scared that it'll stop me from getting in 😢

Im going for the adn program this Spring. Classes start on June 22 and im due July 10. Im starting to worry about how ill manage with a newborn and a toddler while still continuing with my career. Im planning on taking almost two weeks off after giving birth and then going back. Im just beyond worried that classes will be too difficult for me 😰 how are you guys managing school with kids? I just need some reassurance that its possible to succeed in school with so much on your hands😳
