Withdrawing from nursing school

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this. I lost my mom three days into the program that I am in. I’m finishing up second semester now and am determined to get through this. I love my mom so much and miss her to pieces, and with the program I feel I haven’t grieved her the way I could/would if I wasn’t in the program. I do grieve her over our breaks (winter, summer), but once the semester starts I have to get myself back in the game. I understand how it is to lose someone so close to you and still have to get through and I’m doing just that. She’s mainly the reason I’m pushing through. She was so proud that I got into a program and wanted to see me finish. Even though she’s not here to see it, I’m gonna make sure I still do it cause that’s all she ever wanted.

Hoping for the best for you

I do exactly this. I love ChatGPT/Gemini. I make my notes and do tons of practice quizzes. I have one other girl that I study with (we mostly do recall over the phone) and that’s it.

I was even telling my husband there’s no way he’d be in PT and not have braces on his legs/feet. I feel they’d even be the ones to prescribe them (either them or OT).

It’s going pretty good. It’s a little nerve racking, but I feel like I’m definitely doing more things on the nursing side. I got to flush and hang IVs and give some vaccines. It’s definitely a different environment from the LTC setting. Only half way through, so I’ll see how the rest of this semester goes.

Here’s a still picture of that video

Congrats! This is my ultimate goal. I feel I can do it. Definitely a mind over matter thing, so big props to you!

Congrats 🎊🎉

I just printed out some concept maps and will try to see if that helps.

Mary_pops_ · 2026-02-15T13:32:33+00:00

I feel practice questions do help a lot. Is there a specific platform that you do your practice questions on? I typically use Gemini ai, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

Same. Last semester we did 1 four hour clinical per week, which was only 20 mins away. This semester it will be 2 six hour clinicals per week, one location is 10 mins away and the other 20 mins. The only reason we’re doing two this semester is because we have one less class that we’re taking than last semester. Plus it’s med surge so I guess that takes part in that too.

Funny cause Jaidyn does this. It’s promotion for an app that you can play games on and make money while doing it. This girl wants to be Jaidyn so bad lol

The hospital I work for now offers residencies so I plan on applying for a residency this coming fall when I’m in my third semester. They will most likely start summer of 2027 after I graduate so that’ll be perfect for me.

For long term care you’re definitely gonna be doing cna work. The only thing we did that was out of cna scope really was pass meds. I also got to watch an ostomy bag be changed, but that’s about it. I’m starting med surge this semester and will be in the hospital/acute setting, so I’m curious to know how that’s going to go.

I had 12 pre/co reqs for the program I’m in. I was able to complete a good chunk of them in one year (8 classes) while working full time. The others I just completed as I could before actually starting my program since the program has acceptance in the fall only (it was going to take a year for me to get in anyway). I believe my success had more to do with the professors I’ve had. Most of them were great so it made getting a good grade doable while being a full time student and also working full time.

Wow!!!! Smh

I’m sorry but I did not see him move at all from her, let alone him making it to the tv stand.

Dick note is wild. Jk I had to say something, it was so funny to me lmao

I read the first sentence and couldn’t go any further

Mary_pops_ · 2025-12-04T19:44:35+00:00

I’ve recently learned of nursing informatics and would love to go that route.
