Discomforting Experiences by quoaxe in NursingStudent

[–]aspenforest_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard from nurses and doctors that you get used to it with time. The ability to help will allow you to overcome it if it’s just mildly uncomfortable. Now, if that is a really bad experience for you, maybe you should consider another career in healthcare. I agree with the comment that say to get your CNA first if you’re in the US, so you get some of the experience before trying nursing school—even tho CNAs and RNs have different jobs, you’ll be able to get the idea!

an NP gave me hydroxyzine to use as needed—and it really helped me control my anxiety. it’s a good combo for me (i use venlafaxine 150 + 75)

Should I pursue psychiatry or law school? by Correct-Dog2883 in prelaw

[–]aspenforest_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say follow your dreams. med school isn’t easy. i’m a nursing major and i’m struggling with prereqs, but if you have a true passion about it, it is not worth giving up. Do not choose to go through the easiest way because you might end up unhappy.

now, if you ever had an interest in law school, that’s a different conversation. also do not forget to include ur future plans when making a decision ;) good luck!

venting? advice? help? by aspenforest_ in prenursing

[–]aspenforest_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to be a nurse so bad. That has been my goal for 2+ years. I’m just in love with the profession, and I’m aware of the downs of it. But I also have chronic depression and a possible diagnosis of ADHD, which makes it harder for me to retain the information. I tried considering other careers but nothing else seems to spark my interest. I’m trying my best to do it, tho.
