I drink 1-2 cups per day.

There are so many areas of nursing you could easily find your niche. I would definitely encourage you to go for it. there is a great need for public health nurses and although you will need to get some experience you can get to you rend goal and do well.

That sounds like a pretty solid plan. Did you use ATI ?

Keep pushing until you get it. You can do it. Never give up on your dreams! ~Blessings

MauritaJoyceNursesMinds has good videos on youtube. She helps students who are failing or have failed to get back in the game. Have you taken a review course? Also ATI review books and buying a counter and practicing as many questions as you can get your hands on. You got this!

The only way to really know is to try it. There is no harm in trying it because you may discover that you love nursing. Not everyone goes into nursing knowing they wanted to be a nurse, I didn't. However, I discovered that I loved nursing and I could not see myself doing anything else. I absolutely love it!

I'm sure if you failed or not but I would contact the clinical professor and ask. Also find out where you went wrong and how you can correct it going forward. If you have more questions about specifics you can message me. ~Good Luck

This is incorrect. You most definitely can and must study for NCLEX. I took a test preparation class for a few days in addition to practicing ATI throughout my education. If you have more questions about specifics message me. Good luck!

There are two things you need. One is google calendar and the other is google docs. Put all of your assignments into google docs. Input all important dates into google calendar starting from the beginning. Some people like paper calendars and this is fine as well. Staying organized will be essential. Organize your day hour by hour including lunch breaks, showers ect. The advice from a previous commenters to hit the high points in the book, record lectures and I would add sleep 7-8 hours per night no matter what! Use the TIDE app to time your study sessions using the pomodoro technique to train yourself to study up to 60 mins then 10-15 min breaks in between. You may need to start out at 25 min but that's ok. Being extremely organized and getting adequate rest will be key. Do not give up when it gets hard. If you would like more information on testing/memorization strategies message me and I will help all I can. You can and will do this, just believe in yourself. I wish you much success. ~Blessings

Hey, I'm not sure really what to advise because nursing is very specialized. However, I will make an attempt. Ok here goes: Teaching, work in plastic surgery/dermatology doing botox injections and such, medical device or pharmaceutical sales, insurance, contractor, blogger, writer, youtube, consultant and business. I would recommend starting your own business. You have a skills set obviously. Decide what you love and use your nursing experience and business savvy to make yourself marketable to the public. Nurses have so much knowledge but we can easily get caught up in only seeing where we fit traditionally. I would advise you to sit down and take stock of your skills, the life you want to live, how much money you feel you want and create a business around it. If you are not able to do that, then continue to work your job. When you are finally miserable enough, your creativity will kick in. Ignore the negative comments. Many nurses are miserable but just as many are afraid change their lives for the better, hence the overwhelming negativity. Nursing is a vocation and it deserves to be loved. If someone does not love it, there needs to be positive encouragement to leave. Good luck!

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis is a great option as well. Good luck!

And then there's politics. Nursing can sometimes be very political. Instructors are human as well. I think most students are removed with good reason but there are exceptions.

Hi, I recently had a similar experience. I'm also a new grad in Psych. I think it is important for you to stick to what you know is correct. They have all said " if it were them they would have given the haldol". Well, it's not them, it's you. You do what you know is best for your patient with the understanding that if anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible. Nurses are patient advocates. You don't need them to agree with your nursing judgement. I think if you hang in there you will be fine. Over time you will learn more and grow from your experiences. Let them know you respect their experience because there will be times where you will need that experience to help you. However, they don't get to tell you what to do. You have to do what is within your scope and what's best for your patient. Find a more experienced nurse that you trust and hang on to her. Try to learn as much as you can from her. Don't let anyone intimidate you into doing something you know is wrong. You can inbox me anytime you want to talk. God bless.

ER nurses usually see a fair amount of Psych patients. You could always use your ER experience in a Psych facility. I hope that helps! ������
