  3. Third year nursing student who hates nursing and wants to quit

    Nerdy Nurse replied to somerhalders's topic in General Students

    You are certainly not too old at 21 years and it's definitely not too late for you to figure out what you truly want to do. I'm sorry that you have to go through with this. I can sympathize having to...

  4. Potential 2 jobs. Need advice

    Nerdy Nurse replied to Nerdy Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Woops, my bad! I guess I exaggerated the number of miles and checking it back, 20 miles is more accurate (not that there's so much difference). I agree with you to be honest. I am considering just...

    Nerdy Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Lacking Confidence

    Nerdy Nurse replied to CMitchell11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are never too old to pursue a career, let alone, nursing school. 27 is still young. I had classmates who were in their mid 30's and early 40's when we began the program. Give it a try and let your...

    Nerdy Nurse replied to aczhao's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Nerdy Nurse replied to byjessi's topic in General Nursing
