I was thinking about enrolling into Nursing school this fall but, I'm really scared now...Lol

@tamia1980 OH NO. pleaseee dont let my videos scare you. I post them to give you all a heads up so you dont make the same mistakes that I did...however, nursing school iss not easy, but just takes lots of commitment and dedication!...you have to put in way more work than you did with taking pre-reqs ;) you can do it hun! you just have to really want it :)

Girl, you are so right. It is a cold winter storm. It is so funny but true. It's almost like being in the military, you have what it takes or you don't! I am currently going into my second semester so I'm really stressed!

[bduna002]

@donnaandjay how are things going? donntt stress you got thiss! we can do it!

nursing is abusive most mentally and physically! run while you still can!

the reality of it is that you teach yourself with the books they give you and the professor just goes over what you taught yourself then on to the next chapter anybody lost? good chapter 16! i'll be giving a quiz on the next 35 medical terms tommorow morning see you tommorow..It just grinds my teeth (peter griffin voice)*

@MsVip2010 so true. they say the higher you go up in the medical field, the less you have to touch patients..smh sad but true

@cthorste its more like doctors are the lazy ones, they do nothing for anyone- except write prescriptions, nurses and their assistants actually are the only ones helping and caring for the people.

The reality is that nursing school is tough. You need courage and support to get through it.

@donnaandjay As a nurse who grad in May 2010, I thought I had what it took. I grad with a BSN, 3.5 GPA, dept honors & have yet to be able to find a nursing job anywhere: hosp, nsg homes, home care (who want 3-5 years experience). I was told by my local hosp after 1 year of applying, calling my grades were not good enough & that they want people in top 1% of their class, i.e. 3.9 or 4.0& that they have very strict criteria. All this because so many new grads out there & they can cherry pick.

i'm always worried about the people are they nice or mean

i mean they have papers about the horizontal violence specifically in nursing

so it's so bad that if you google it things come up in detail

that the thing stopping me the most
