You just have to deal with it and have a thick skin. Maybe nursing isn't for you because you have to be kind, yet tough. You can't be a sensitive snowflake that cries easily and gets offended easily. Don't take anything the patients say personally. They don't know the real you. Patients tend to lash out when they are worried, stressed, scared or in pain. It comes with the job. It's hard to take that kind of harsh criticism from coworkers and superiors. I've just come to accept the fact that most doctors have big egos and that's the way it is.

I am worried about being disqualified for the nursing program due to my drug screen. I have been taking narcotics with a valid prescription for a back injury for several years. Is the drug screen confidential or do I need to tell the school about my medications? I have worked so hard to get accepted, I would be crushed if this disqualified me. I don't know what to do.

I also applied. I had an 88 reading and 97 math. Science really messed me up on the TEAS!! I have 35 points, so I am hoping I will get a spot for the Spring. Did anyone apply to UCF as well?
