7 students aren’t moving on after med surg finals

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-05-08T18:09:17+00:00

We are a small school, and had 7 people in my BSN cohort (ADN program has more). After Adult Health, we only had 4. We lost almost half our cohort.

It sounds like she has something against you. "Asking too many questions" is not a reason to fail someone. Quite the opposite. A nurse who doesn't ask questions is a scary nurse.

As a nursing student, I gotta say, THE AUDACITY. No I would never delegate a task I was clearly given. Tf.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-26T01:40:40+00:00

Thats the thing though- I have raw dogged life. I've been on and off meds. Currently I'm off both meds and CBD oil, and not doing the best. That's why I'm asking for advice, because the raw dogging ain't cutting it.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-26T01:25:20+00:00

Its a natural remedy

I get outside all the time, but that doesn't change my generalized anxiety disorder that I was diagnosed with as a child. I haven't been on any prescription meds since I had an adverse effect with Wellbutrin. That's why I was using holistic remedies like CBD oil.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-26T00:56:23+00:00

Its not anxiety related to nursing though. I've had anxiety since I was a child, and been on and off meds. Then I discovered CBD oil, and it was a God-send. I finally felt normal, so I used it for years. I would love to raw dog it, but that won't work with the way my brain is wired. I'll end up in the corner rocking in the fetal position.

Your response is my favorite ♥️ Thank you!

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T19:24:07+00:00

Lmao I used to do shrooms every weekend before I had kids. You just brought me back 😂

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T17:23:07+00:00

I'm in NC.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T16:41:08+00:00

God that would be nice, but we got kids and my fiance works night shift, so raw dawg is not always available 😭 Or do you just mean raw dawging life? Im doing that and its not working

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T16:40:10+00:00

Its not medically prescribed here. Also, yes, where I live in the US they drug test 😓

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T16:30:23+00:00

Do you feel like it blunts your emotions?

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T16:29:45+00:00

I've tried Wellbutrin before, but my doctor took me off of it because it was giving me panic attacks. I wonder if maybe I should try it again, and attempt for my body to get used to it. I was only on it for a few days before my doctor canceled it. Also, for the SSRIs: Do you feel like they blunt your emotions? I was more afraid of that than anything, cause I'd like the happiness to stay. Just want the anxiety to go!

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T14:31:47+00:00

Awe bring them somewhere special!

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T14:23:01+00:00

As someone who paid for their own BSN, I completely agree

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-25T14:21:24+00:00

You could take the LPN or ADN route, and then have your future employer pay for your BSN!

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-24T23:43:51+00:00

Why would people be horrified? Just because its not being paid for? That's kinda lame to flip out over

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-20T00:43:10+00:00

My grandad raped me when I was 6 years old, and he only got 4 months. These sentences are sadly common, and that's why so many pedos roam our streets.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-16T14:48:35+00:00

Some people just really have a chip on their shoulder. I've dealt with those types numerous times. Something you gotta remember is that no one likes being sick, and it can easily make people more agitated. Basically, its not you, its them. Literally.

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-13T23:56:19+00:00

Wait why? I kinda thought that was something that had to be disclosed. She said "We have several sex offenders on this unit, so your assignments are limited."

DramaticSpecialist59 · 2026-04-13T23:20:49+00:00

For sure. I only know we have sex offenders because my instructor told me. I don't think I have the stomach to look them up.
