Does anyone who is has BSN think that there is a difference between being a student nurse and an practicing nurse? I mean minus the money part? I feel like i try SO hard to please my clinical instructor and get straight A's that I'm now sleep deprived and just doing what i need to do to get by. I want to practice good patient care but after getting 4 hours of sleep and studying, i just want to get through it.
Anyways, does anyone out there think there is a difference and the "nursing" aspect of school will come with time when i'm not wasting all my time on prep and care plans?
