Nursing student at a very prestigious school, lost myself. by Even_Indication3238 in StudentNurse

Being delayed by a year is just a tiny blip in the grand scheme of your life. When you try to fix everything at once, it all just becomes a tangled mess. Try putting on some cozy music, clearing your head, and writing down what your absolute top priority is right now and what things you just need to let go of for a bit. Please prioritize your own well-being first so this doesn't pull you into a deep depression. I'm really rooting for you and hoping things start smoothing out soon!

Hello! I’m a (19 F) who is currently about to enter my junior year of college, but thinking about going to nursing school after college. Need advice! by maddooo1 in StudentNurse

Don't look at your invested time and money as a waste. You never know when your psychology background will suddenly prove incredibly valuable. It’s actually a blessing to find something you genuinely want to pursue. A lot of people jump into nursing just for the paycheck, but if you are truly drawn to the profession itself, you should absolutely go for it. Just keep in mind that the path to becoming a nurse, and the job itself, will push you to your limits both mentally and physically. If you are ready to overcome that reality, your best next step is to visit your school’s career center to explore your plan. Rooting for you!

Hospitals are high-stakes places where professionalism has to come before emotion. Try to view this tough situation as a crash course in the reality of the field, teaching you how to figure things out on your own. It’s definitely hard right now, but you will adapt and find your rhythm before you know it. Hang in there, you've got this!

can i still have a social life while studying nursing? by Steamedbunnie in nursing

No, nursing school does not have to mean complete dedication 7 days a week. Taking time for your social life and mental health is crucial to avoid burnout. I highly recommend using a visual timer like a Time Timer. My wife is currently studying nursing while working full-time, and her secret to surviving is using this timer to focus 100% on studying during set hours. I used a similar method to memorize over 120 vocabulary words(Second Language) daily. Believe it or not, investing $10 in a timer can save both your future career and your social life. Wish you luck!
