I had an instructor suggest to me I needed to get a job, because she said I wasn't as comfortable as I needed to be with patients. But I'm really worried about not being able to keep up with school if I do work. But her words have haunted me, and she will be my main instructor for the coming semester. I guess I'm scared if I don't get a job she'll think I don't want to do better or something.

I'm new to the forum but I've used your resources many times in my nursing school career. You guys have been GREAT!. My question is this, I'm currently not working while I go to school full time but I'm starting to think I should. I have heard from recent grads about difficulty finding positions as a new grad hire. I recently got my CNA license and am wondering if I need to find a job in a hospital so I have my foot in the door once I graduate and god willing pass the NCLEX. Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. I am 3rd semester, going into 4th this fall. I'm enrolled in an ADN RN program, pretty good one with very high NCLEX pass rates. I have not worked in the past because I felt I need to focus on school. It's a catch 22.

I am currently in an ADN RN program (4th semester) in Alabama, and it is the same just FYI. Some instructors review some don't, couldn't really tell you why, but gave up trying to figure that out a while back. And your grade is fine, don't worry about that. The day may come when your over the moon to have a 75.1 in a class. As for other books something I do is try to use a couple of different texts, Lewis, Iggy, Potter, whatever. I find seeing the material presented in different ways by different authors gives me a little better grasp of the material.
