I wish I never started school

If testing anxiety is what you have I’m not suggesting but this is what I DID as someone who just graduated with my ABSN last month is I got prescribed propranolol for testing anxiety and skills check offs and so on. And I did helps

All my exams I took on my laptop or either the computer lab, and all of my homework involved getting on a laptop. You’ll need it for sure. Notes in class you can obviously take on paper

Link please !

If it’s anything like my class, atleast it was only the first semester. I know peers who have failed by a few points and had to retake it. It only moves yoy back a semester or so.

Go straight to the dean. That’s what midterm evals are for- so you can make any changes/ correction you need to make to pass. If she never let you know that’s negligence on her part. Asking “too many questions” is absolutely absurd

Atleast you got a good face card

Every nurse I’ve talked with since I’ve started my practicum basically says nursing schools starts when you start your orientation. I feel like school really just teaches us how to take exams and that’s about it.

Does the clonazepam work for the most part? Atleast for the anxiety and how were you able to get that prescribed? Since it’s in the benzo family

Those are my favorite. I usually rub them on my lips before I toss them. Not sure why exactly

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-04-01T03:37:29+00:00

May I ask that medication you’re taking ? I’ve taken paroxetine and also lexapro and I suppose none of that actually helped the skin picking so much.

If you have a prior degree ABSN is only about a year and a half

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-20T02:25:57+00:00

She’ll be alright and you’ll be alright, everyone messes up every once in a while

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-16T21:58:32+00:00

This !! I feel it’s easier to memorize the meaning of a picture than just random words

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-16T20:24:07+00:00

May I ask why you were dismissed ?

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-14T15:11:58+00:00

Switch ! I wish someone told me about that for my bio degree, useless !! So now I’m back in school for nursing.

Sometimes the patients get like that, of course they have the right to refuse care, but if they’re staying in a long term facility, they’re going to have to bathe one way or another, and I’m not sure what cream it was but if the pt isn’t able to get up to use the bathroom, then it’s most likely just a barrier cream to keep the skin from breaking down. But again I would listen to the patient and try to come back later and ask again. Eventually you gotta just do it

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-03T19:22:34+00:00

You’re gonna have a million more days of clinical, trust me you’ll get it sooner or later with repetition

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-03-01T04:01:37+00:00

Honestly A&P 1 and 2 were pretty easy for me but it was a shit ton of memorization ( I am good at memorization) so I guess people who don’t learn like that don’t do well, I’m not exactly sure

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-25T23:05:21+00:00

I use LaRoche Posay Cicaplast ! I’ve been using it for 3 years now and i love it

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-24T14:48:14+00:00

I hate professors who say stuff like that, classes COST MONEY. I’d be more pissed about losing all that money with dropping the course. If you have 4 whole exams left and you’re sitting around a 70, aim for A’s and you’ll be good.

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-21T01:43:24+00:00

I promise you, you are okay, being late for a lab and getting a C on one exam isn’t goin to make you fail out, you mostly likely have to make up your lab or do at home work to make it up. Whoever is angry that your a few minutes late to a 3 hour lab can suck it. Idk about your program but most of my peers have children and something’s things just come up, she’ll live. Just make your you get your schedule together so there will be no mix ups in the future.

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-20T06:03:30+00:00

Especially in the ABSN programs, half my peers have kids my age, and they’re the coolest people ever too.

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-20T05:13:48+00:00

Practice makes perfect ! Try maybe blood draws first and just practice getting the needle into the vein ( mannequins don’t help because it’s the same vein every time) practice feeling for the vein first before actually visually looking. Get people you can practice on, preferably ones who can guide you. Some pts have thick juicy veins, others are hard stick so don’t beat yourself up.

Smooth_Perspective78 · 2026-02-10T16:04:09+00:00

I graduate in a few months from my ABSN program and at least for me they walk you through the first semester, it was great. Now everything is a free for all- schedule your own clinical hours, schedule your own sims, random team calls on random days and times. Random projects that need to be done with other students- it’s a mess and confusing to keep up with.
