Hello everyone, I’m a sophomore in college for nursing, the semester just started and I’m already feeling overwhelmed. I’m supposed to apply to my schools nursing program at the end of this semester but despite it only being the FIRST WEEK of classes I already want to drop like half of them. It feels like a lot is riding on this semester and how well I perform. If I don’t pass a required class no nursing school for me. This scares me—I’m taking multiple science classes and three labs on top of that because I had to retake my math class so now I have to make up for my chemistry class I was suppose to complete last year. I’m also working, because I’m broke and college won’t pay for itself. I’ve already cried probably like three times, not even for anything big, it’s all small stuff that just piles up. There are so many syllabus’s to read and so much information and on top of that I’ve already had multiple assignments due. It’s all just overwhelming and it’s gotten to the point where I ca
Hi all! My school allows us to wear other scrubs as long as they are the correct color/have the logo on them and I was interested in looking for a different pair of the Isabel Ciel blue bottoms from Figs. Received it and they came WAYYY darker than shown in the photo 😭 Starkly different from the given scrub top from my school. Does anyone have any recommendations for wide leg, Ciel blue scrubs that aren’t as saturated?? submitted by /u/Due_Youth5397 [link] [comments]
I am about to start my 3rd (out of 4) semester of my nursing program. over the summer i got a job as before/after school teacher. now that school is starting im getting nervous / stressed about whether i am going to be able to handle everything or if i should just quit. I also have a 3 year old son who is in daycare 8-3 and my partner works full time. The last 2 semesters i didn’t work, and used the time that my son was in daycare to study and do work. The next 2 semesters i am also taking an extra class that will go towards my BSN. My weekly schedule would be M: 8-1230 lecture, work 115-545 tuesdays work 7-815 am then clinical 2-11 wed i would be off and have clinical 2-11. th/fri id work split shift 7-815 and 230-545. My MIL does help us out and would be able to pick my son up or drop him off at daycare, but we currently live with my in-laws so I would basically not have any time by myself to do anything school related other than hours before i work or start clinical. Weekends are va
I have a year left of school and I actually hate nursing. The future of healthcare is so bleak and it's incredibly clear that management doesn't give a shit about us and we will constantly be under-resourced to do our very important and stressful jobs. I've been a CNA for over two years and a nurse tech for about 6 months. Maybe I've just worked a lot over the summer and I'm burned out but as soon as I get my degree, I'm gonna start taking classes for engineering or something because good lord, this field is not looking good. I'm in a privileged position cause I have scholarships to pay for all of my schooling and some of my living expenses. If this weren't the case, things might be different and I may feel trapped/pressured to do this for much longer. Still thankful for all I've learned though. I'm glad I know for sure that nursing ain't for me. Edit: in the post, I state that I will finish my degree and work as a nurse and THEN take engineering classes. But at least I know right now
Hi! I’m starting a post-baccalaureate ABSN program next month and we’re jumping right into fundamentals, patho/pharm, etc. I’ve been an EMT on an ambulance doing primarily 911 coverage for a high call volume city as well as some interfacility transports. Did anybody here work as an EMT prior to pursing nursing? Did it help you at all in class/lab/clinicals (besides the obvious stuff like taking vitals, bedside manner, and general assessment)? submitted by /u/abbsy04 [link] [comments]
So, for context, I did my lab and in-person class earlier this year, and in a few weeks, I have to implement everything I learned at the beginning of the year. There is a bootcamp day session for revision, but I doubt I will be able to learn everything to be truly prepared. Hence, I want to take that approach myself. What did you guys do to prepare for the upcoming clinical term? I don't want to be thrown into the hospital setting without truly knowing how to do certain things.

My closest friend and I just went through a horrible friendship breakup today, and she’s one of my only friends so it’s absolutely gut wrenching for me. Perfect timing because I start nursing school (college sophomore) in a few days! Not sure what to do or how to balance this with the inevitable stress and responsibilities that come with being in nursing school. Has anyone been through anything similar?

Just wanted to provide a fun exercise for all students: For all those planning to go into nursing or close to finishing school, what speciality are you thinking of pursuing? Optional: re-post an update in a year or two if you end up changing your mind or if you were right all along. ***Note*** This isn't about if you will get into your specialty out the gate from graduating. Just a fun, time capsule type of post to see how you've progressed but also to show future students how things may or may not change your minds. Like how med students choose their residencies, nurses should be celebrated for when they choose their specialities. 🎉 submitted by /u/Sea_Quantity6915 [link] [comments]
Hi! I’m a nursing student at an Australian university and I’m thinking about bleaching my hair to a very light colour. Would it be viewed negatively, especially during clinical placements?

Hey everyone, I have a question/I really need advice. I’m January of this year I was unsuccessful on my clinical on a surgical unit. I start and retry next January (2027) and need help figuring out what I can do to retain and maintain my information/competency In general in the next few months. Thus my question/ advice request, what should I do? Resources, tips, ideas, I’m open to anything. Also if it means anything I was unsuccessful because I have a hard time remembering things and pulling all important information from pt charts.

Hi I’m going to start my nursing school in 20 days and at the same time, I am going to work as a PCT (apprentice) at a hospital. I have had a disc bulged due to an accident three years back when I was 17. I had a bad rest of three months which helped me stop my pain. It took me at least four months to recover. Since then, I have not had any episode of pain. But sometimes there is muscle tension whenever I left something heavy and to mention, I usually avoid lifting heavy things. I have been doing my nursing pre requisites for one and a half year. I think that will go in waste. My parents are not happy at all because they have invested a lot of money on those courses. I’m very scared right now. I’ve not been sleeping from last three days when I got to know in the hospital orientation that I will have to lift patients which I knew I will have to, but I was not very sure about that. After that, I have started practicing turning my mom side to side and see if I’ll be able to work or not. I
I (32F, no kids) am starting nursing school in Ontario this September (4 year BscN). Currently I’m waitressing 4-5 nights a week. How much did you work during your first year of nursing, while still getting decent grades? Are there any other things to consider? How many hours a week did you have to study? Obviously during clinical I may have to take time off completely from work. Thank you! submitted by /u/blondeAmazon876 [link] [comments]
My school requires that we receive a TB test every summer and submit it to Verified Credentials to attend clinical’s. They like it to be within 12 months of the last TB test. I received my TB test on 7/8/26 and assumed I’d be within the 12 month window because I had gotten one 7/8/25. I got an email from the lady who oversees our Verified Credentials documents stating that I needed to get a new note from my doctor because it didn’t have the doctor’s office name on the note. I reached out to my doctor’s office & the nurse said there was issues with them documenting the TB test, so I’d have to come back in & get another one. As frustrating as it was (I live 2 hours away from home… where my doctor’s office is) I agreed & got my TB test on July 29th of this year & submitted it. The entire time this was happening, I was in contact with the lady from my school. Despite it being past the 12 months at this point, she said she’d approve it for me. Well… she emailed me yesterday morning asking m
Hi guys I started nursing school about 8 months ago and realized I don't have a group of friend or a best friend like everyone else. I found out someone else had been feeling the same way and I ask the person if we could be friends and this is where I think I messed up so I had seen this person was upset after class for a few months so I asked if they wanted to talk they said yes we talked after understanding that we were feeling the same way I asked if this person would like to be friends and I was told yes. So I had decided about 3 weeks before the conversation I would get this person something small to pick them up. So a few days after our conversation I brought this person a gift I wasn't told thank you, it kinda seemed like this person was intentionally trying to avoid me we had been texting and I told this person I hope they liked the gift and I still haven't a reply it's been almost 18 hrs. I just wish this was easier I did think my classmate would do this since they had been fe
Hi, as the title states, i’m looking for any tips/tricks and suggestions for an incoming nursing student. I’m honestly really excited to be starting and already have my clinical placements. However, I’m worried that I’m not as prepared as I should be. I just spent my sophomore year stressed out by A&P I & II and I know nursing school is not going to be any better. I’ve somewhat prepared myself mentally, but I am a little worried I’m not as prepared academically. submitted by /u/House-Plantx [link] [comments]

I was lucky enough to get nearly 3 months off for summer break and I’m about to start back up again in 2 weeks. However, I am already having a panic attack about starting up again because I did not look at anything school related during my entire break. Now I feel like I’m already behind. Any advice on what to touch on before my second year starts? I told myself I was going to stay on top of things but I feel like I blinked and summer break is basically over. I’m seriously dreading going back cause I burnt myself out so bad last semester and nearly admitted myself to a mental institution. I only have to get through 2 more semesters to get my ADN but it literally feels impossible.

Really only have two options for nursing school: Option 1: ABSN 30–45 minute commute (1hr door to door using public transit) $60k tuition 18 month program For profit school with a mixed reputation, okay clinical placements, and decent NCLEX pass rate I'd graduate about a year sooner Option 2: ADN About a 1.5-hour drive to a community college in the middle of nowhere Virtually no traffic, it's mostly cornfields, so the drive should be easy and predictable, though winter driving might be tricky About $15k in tuition I'm estimating another ~$15k for travel/hotels if I need to stay overnight for clinicals that are further out or during bad weather Great reputation and a solid NCLEX pass rate Financially, I can afford the ABSN, but the for profit, "easy to get into, but fail out" environment makes me hesitant. The academic side of ADN program seems perfect, it's just the commute I'm worried about. Anyone ever do a commute like this? submitted by /u/wolfgangwolff [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! I have my OR clinical coming up and wanted to seek advice on how to be as prepared as possible. Some things I’m especially curious about: - What are the biggest etiquette rules that no one tells you beforehand? - What are common mistakes students make? - Where should you stand, and where should you never stand? - What can accidentally contaminate a sterile field? - When is it okay to ask questions, and when should you stay quiet? - What are some opportunities students usually get to participate in? (For example, Foley catheter insertion, positioning the patient, helping with prep, etc.) - What skills did you get to perform, if any? - What kinds of questions did your instructor or OR staff ask you? - What anatomy, instruments, or procedures should I review beforehand? - What are some things you wish you had known before your first OR clinical? - Are there any unwritten rules that make the OR staff appreciate having a student around? I’d also love to hear any stories abou
Hi everyone! I'm an incoming student at a liberal arts college where students apply to the nursing program during their sophomore year rather than being admitted directly as freshmen. Since admission is competitive, I'm a little nervous about not getting accepted. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? If you weren't admitted to your school's nursing program, what path did you take afterward? Did you switch majors, transfer to another school, or find another route into nursing? For those who were admitted, what do you think made your application stand out? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you have. Thanks! submitted by /u/Impressive-Peanut240 [link] [comments]
I’m looking for some advice from people who have been through this. Before nursing school, I had a 4.0 GPA in high school and was very involved in extracurriculars and leadership. Since starting nursing school, it’s been a completely different experience. I’ve been working hard just to stay around a 3.0 GPA, and most of my time goes toward trying to keep up with coursework. I’m in the Texas Medical Center area, so residency programs are very competitive. I keep hearing that becoming a Professional Student Nurse (PSN) is highly encouraged, but many of those programs require a 3.2–3.5 GPA, and it seems like there are hundreds (if not thousands) of applicants who also have extensive leadership, volunteer work, and healthcare experience. At this point, I’m struggling to balance everything. I feel like if I spend more time building my résumé, my grades may suffer, but if I focus primarily on grades, I worry I won’t be competitive enough for residency applications. Has anyone else been in a
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anybody could provide advice on MSN/ABSN programs. I'm a recent grad who graduated with a B.S in Organismal Biology and who now wants to be a RN so of course, I was looking at MSN programs. Although,I am unfortunately missing development pysch, physiology, sociology, and epidimelogy so I wouldn't be able to apply/qualify for UCLA,UCI and other public school programs. However, for private schools like western university I would be able to qualify and would only have to do one gap year as opposed to two (public schools want all courses completed before applying not in progress). I was wondering if anybody who's gone to any of these programs have any advice or thoughts on the situation. For context I graduated with a 3.53, am FGLI, have four years of research experience, 7 extracurriculars , some PT clinical experience, and am going to be working as a behavioural technician in this minimum one gap year period.

I would like to have an idea of what to expect because I don’t want to look like a complete dumbass and I haven’t practiced or learned any dosage calculations or memorized conversions.

UPDATE: There’s a required Zoom meeting for my clinical group on Monday (August 10). She said she wants me to stay for an extra 30 minutes to chat. I’ll update you guys on what happens. Hopefully we find a solution. Thank you all! I appreciate all of your advice, input, and shared experience. Hey all, So for the fall semester, my scheduled clinical day is on Monday. My instructor has been emailing my clinical group, and she just told us that she has a doctor’s appointment on one of the Monday’s.

Now she’s demanding to know where I work and is expecting all the students from my clinical group to accommodate her doctor’s appointment and attend the Friday clinical instead. If I don’t attend, I’m going to miss clinical hours. I’m just feeling so frustrated right now. I specifically mad
I’ve decided to switch gears and pursue nursing. I’m planning to apply to ABSN programs this year for 2027 admission. Right now I still have about 4-5 prereqs left (A&P I, A&P II, Microbiology, and Lifespan Development), and I’m hoping to finish them by October since that’s when most ABSN applications are due for spring starts. For some background, I worked as a phlebotomist for about 6 months, volunteered at a free medical clinic for around 1.5 years, and I recently started working as a PCT. The problem is… the job is keeping me behind in my classes. I work four 10-hour shifts a week, and on the days I work I’m completely wiped. I come home, eat, shower, and basically fall asleep. I have almost no motivation or energy left to study, and I’m worried it’s going to affect my grades in these prereqs. My dilemma is that I feel like PCT experience could make me a stronger applicant. I know some ABSN programs like to see clinical experience, and it’d also give me more to talk about in my ess
Career changer with a B.A. in Communications (3.7 GPA) and no college science background. I’m applying to an online ABSN program that starts in February and need all seven prerequisites completed and transcripted by February 1 start. The reason I’m considering this pace is that the next start date is in the fall, which would delay everything by about seven months. I’m able to not work from August through January and treat school like a full-time job: roughly 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with weekends as a buffer for extra studying or catching up. Tentative schedule: Aug. 17–Sept. 20: A&P I + General Chemistry Sept. 21–Oct. 25: A&P II + Microbiology Oct. 26–Nov. 29: Statistics + Lifespan Psychology Nov. 30–Jan. 1: Abnormal Psychology The program will review my application after I complete at least two science prerequisites and can make a final decision once 5 of the 7 total prerequisites are finished. All seven must be completed before the program begins. I also need at least a
hi! i’m a 19F 2nd year student. We have dosage tests every semester & i had mine last week. This morning, my lecturer gave us our grades back by calling us up infront of class and giving a one on one talk on where we went wrong. When it was my turn, he said i cheated because the girl next to me had her page “tilted” and he saw me “smile during the test”. Infront of the entire class. “You cheated” “I saw you cheat” “You can’t lie” “You need to be honest”. I said “No, i didn’t cheat”. Everytime i denied, his voice got louder and his statements increasing accusatory. Idk what he saw but i had a calculator, i studied, i get good grades, i participate in class discussions, etc. i even wrote down steps on how i got the answer. Hell, i even wrote down “divided by 1000” when CONVERTING! He said he spoke to the girl next to me and that she told him that “yes I showed her the answers”. but when I asked her, she said she didn’t because she just writes with her paper tilted and also denied the acc
Hello! I am looking for some advice/insight for someone like me who is looking to take a non-traditional pathway to becoming an RN. I graduated from undergrad in December of 2025 with my B.S in Kinesiology with hopes of applying to PT school, and through my time away from school I have decided to pivot towards nursing as I believe it would suit me better in the long run.

I’m 19 and currently doing nursing prerequisites. I’ve always been interested in medicine and have thought about becoming a physician, but I’m starting to think more realistically about what path makes sense for me. I come from a single-parent household, so the idea of being financially stuck for years while pursuing medical school is something I think about a lot. Nursing is appealing because it gives me a way to build stability sooner while still working in healthcare and helping people. I’ve considered doing RN → MD someday, but part of me wonders if that’s just making the journey longer when I could either commit to medicine now or fully embrace nursing. For anyone who has been in a similar situation, how did you decide? Did you prioritize the more stable path, or did you take the longer route toward becoming a physician? submitted by /u/Appropriate_Use3654 [link] [comments]
I'm in a private BSN program. Probably my fault but I had gone to a different private LVN program and found it to be fine. Now I'm in a more well-known private program and it is RAMPANT with AI. The assignment prompts and teacher responses/email/announcements are all blatantly AI. The slides for my online lectures are made by AI. I asked a teacher for suggestions on how to study for the midterm because we didn't have a study guide and she suggested using chatgpt to give me questions with the rationale afterwards, stating it's mostly reliable. Our ATI program even incorporates an AI tool called Claire AI. The students are obviously utilizing AI. I remember how people wrote for discussions and people did not write this well or the same in previous years. I asked some coworkers who graduated from their LVN program a few years ago and they said AI wasn't used then. Does your school use AI? What do you think of it? At this point, I feel like I should be paying chatgpt my school tuition. I'm
I am currently in my 3rd year in college in a bachelor's of science. I was going for a PA, but decided that that was too difficult for me. Nursing was my second option. My HS and college didn't really have a nursing major/ degree. You had to take all the pre reqs in order to get into a nursing program in my college. And (at least what my advisor told me) you cant take pre reqs without following a major. So, yeah, im in my 3rd year of my bachelor's of science. Nursing school is another 2-3 years. Did I just waste 3 years of my life and $30k in tuition for choosing a college that doesn't have a nursing major/degree? Or will my science degree benefit me somehow?? submitted by /u/SarahScamander [link] [comments]

I’m almost done with my first semester, but I feel like I know almost nothing. My foundation is really weak because I crammed A&P and other pre reqs a couple of years ago and forgot most of it. Even basic things like explaining vitals and common diseases concepts don’t come naturally to me. Academically, I’m really struggling. I feel like I spent the last couple weeks mostly panicking instead of actually learning. I would open my textbook, not understand it, get overwhelmed, and end up shutting down. I know that’s partly my responsibility, but it has become a cycle that I can’t seem to break. I had severe mental issue after I started nursing school and I also have adhd. On top of that, my English is a huge problem. I’m writing this with chat so it might sound okay but my English is terrible in r
The question is basically in the title. I’m considering going back to school to become an RN, with the possibility of eventually becoming an NP, but I have a hard time with blood and sometimes feel faint around it. Has anyone entered nursing with a similar phobia? Were you able to overcome it with repeated exposure, or did it continue to be an issue? I’d love to hear about your experience. submitted by /u/Capital-Menu6452 [link] [comments]
Hi all!! Soo, I live in VA and I’m really starting to consider a career in healthcare, specifically nursing. My mom passed in Feb from lung cancer and it really ignited a passion in me that I didn’t know I had. I’ve been a dog groomer for the past 8 years. I’m a little worried about admissions & background checks. I was convicted of 2 misdemeanors in Nebraska in Jan of 2026 (original offense happened last summer) one being possession of marijuana & the other being FTA (living in VA, mom was dying of lung cancer and I missed my court date) but regardless I was convicted. I am speaking to attorneys currently about potentially getting a set-aside because expungement isn’t an option in Nebraska. Fines only, no jail time/probation/arrest. These are my only convictions, I’ve never even gotten a traffic ticket. I did email my state’s board and they essentially said everything is case-by-case and there is no charge that is an automatic denial. Has anyone been in this situation & has any advice
I need advice and open opinions I’m 35 week’s pregnant, i can literal give birth at anytime. I failed out my ADN program in May by a few points. I feel if i stop or take a break I’ll never get back to finishing school. Alot of the programs near me start orientation and school the end of this month or early September.( I’m technically due September 8th with my baby.) i want to go back and do my ADN but my husband feels LPN would be quicker. BTW my only support system is just my husband and we have two other kids 6 and 7 besides the one that’s on the way. I’m afraid to start school freshly postpartum and leaving my newborn home for hours while it can be my bonding time but I waited so long to get to this point for school. Should I try it and just do it? I hear a lot of other moms say they did it but sounds like they have more help or maybe not. I switched my curriculum to health science degree at my school and have just the next two semesters to complete to graduate with that but not sur
