Should I drop out

I'm just curious...what is it that is making you consider dropping out?

Life is hard, nursing is even harder. There are 10 reasons why you should never become a nurse. If you want to become a nurse is because you want to challenge the 10 reasons and because you think you are though enough.

This is not really a question anyone else can answer for you.

If there a specific things about nursing that you need information on, so you can make a more informed decision ask away. But do remember you'll get conflicting opinions.

I would recommend that you sit with your nursing advisor, or favorite instructor and talk about your concerns. They will know you, your performance and your local job market far better, to be able to give you solid answers.

But again those will be opinions. If you read threads on here (this one comes to mind... https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/worst-best-thing-1054338.html ) you will find there are people that thought/ were told they couldn't/ shouldn't become a nurse and did.

If you quit now.. what would you pursue?

a few visits with a counselor may help. take the interest inventory test. good luck

What is RPN ?

What is RPN ?

Registered practical nurse maybe?

Sometimes, when you're a student, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If, you have lost focus on your goal and your confidence is shaken, you can try regaining both, by talking to a student counsellor and by giving yourself frequent positive feedback.

If you only have a year left, maybe push through and decide when you are finished if this is what you really want to do? The time will pass whether you are in the program or not and you might have regrets a year from now if you left. Remember that school is NOT the same as working -- the school is harder, imo! School is crazy because you have class/group work/homework/etc plus clinical and a whole lot of stress. But after you graduate it's just work without all the homework and having someone looking over your shoulder. Think about why you went into the program in the first place and what you want your work to be like later.

That being said, I left my BScN program after first year and took a year to think about whether it was the right fit for me or not. After 6 months I decided it was and returned to the program with clear intentions & was very successful. If you choose to leave the program, you CAN go back. It's not a now-or-never situation.
