I'm still beating bushes to get in the RN program. However, I witnessed a nurse student making a mistake when she was flushing an IV. I was an NA student so I didn't say any word. Thankfully, it wasn't a medicine but water. Later on, I regret for not speaking up. Mind you, I was trained at my different job not to say anything which becomes my habit. Don't be hard on yourself.

I will keep practicing this in case I will make it in the nursing world.

...I just finished my interview for the LVN program. Hopefully, I will get a call this week. :) However, the conniving people exist in all fields of professions. Don't allow people to consume you; most of all, don't change yourself because of how people (mal) treated you. If they're not hurting you, you can learn to tolerate their atrocious and unprofessional behavior. It's not worth it to lose your mind over those bored people. Perhaps, they're not happy of being nurses, or whatever problems they have personally. They're taking it out on others. They have no other choices but nursing. If their behavior becomes unethical and unlawful, then do something about it. My personal experience with a fraction of nurses. I have both positive and negative things going on for them. Generally, I have positive experiences of them. Some of these nurses are kind of RNs I will want to be. They're inspiring and admiring people while others make me wonder if they don't want to be nurses. There are those people who are paranoid (some nurses) thinking that I want to be a friend with them so they can back me up for a future reference. They can go **** themselves. I'm not there to get them to write my letter of recommendations. Hardly any of those nurses try to integrate me on in their world. I've been treated as an outsider, not a team member even though I've helped them many times. FYI, I've never resented them for my generous services. The two nurses blatantly told me such and such. I calmly responded, "I don't need to be friends with you. I'm here to do my work." They were butthurt. They told me that I had such a mountain of arrogance. Heh? They didn't think critically that I was probably skillful and knowledgeable but in nursing. Anyway, there was this physician feels bad for me leads him to initiate a conversation with me. Those nurses didn't like it then. Silly grown up people entertain me. Remember, there are many nurses who are nice and kind people. Don't close your door, change your horizon.

I either fall INTP or INTJ. 😂

I'm an INTJ. I'm thinking of specializing in brain trauma someday...Still beating bushes to get in the RN program?😄

That is pretty normal in college courses. I had professors made our exams more challenging. They would create a question that is 10% pain in the butt. I often do well on this so I do complain of other style questions but never aired it out. I figured it out how to get through .Anyway, I asked help from my instructor how to master memorization. I can say I have improved a lot. My input is that you will need to learn this style of question. You can do it. Complaining sometimes is worthless and costs our ambition in life.

My partner and I cared for a non-white/non-black resident/patient. My partner was a black lady, was discriminated by our resident/patient. I documented it and I reported the person to our clinical instructor privately. It hurt me to watch my partner/friend to be broken hearted. However, I learned to control myself towards this kind of a person and I know that I will face a similar scenario. I treated her/him like other good residents/patients. I could just walk out, but I reminded myself I was there to do my job. I hope you will find ways to comfort yourself. Don't take people personally.

I know this is an old thread, but I would like to know more about the LVN program of FAS. I received a phone to pick up a packet. After this, what's next?
