Student nurse and Video games.

Published

Just wanted to know if nursing is going to take up all my time. I occasionally like to play video games and so far I've gone through a semester in the nursing program while playing video games. Next semester I will be taking 4 nurses courses, in which 1 is a clinical course. Will I still have time for video games? PS: No, I dont have a girlfriend. Would I like one? Yes ;)

Confession: I played a MMO through undergrad and grad school on top of having a newborn baby at home for the last year of school. It's very doable, especially if you have a set schedule for gaming.

Well a thread concerned solely with the idea that nursing school (a path to a career) might interfere with gaming certainly doesn't help any stereotypes out there.

There are plenty of threads with people asking if such and such will be interfered with during nursing school. Once again, it's just that it's video games that stirs up the whole 'immaturity' thing. We can all agree to disagree, though.

Exactly. I have a 3-year-old, and I have been able to play video games in my spare time (which isn't much) since he was born, and since I've started nursing school. It is doable!

I didn't have time for games at all. I actually felt great in getting to play my favorite game Mass Effect 3 for a little bit during break. I'm thinking about getting the trilogy...I wonder how much trouble I will get in with my wife.

Yea I think it is. While it does come off as immature to 'worry' about such a thing as a video game, it is important to him.[/quote'] If the OP was asking about knitting, running, gardening, competitive ballroom dance, or any other hobby, would the perception that it's immature still be the same? I don't get this pervasive attitude that gaming is so awful that so many people seem to have.
