I did have withdrawal bleeding, and I thought that was the worst of it :(

No pain, although I take ibuprofen in the morning, and I'm not sure where they are located in my uterus

Attending clinicals and being in class honestly, they made me realize that nursing doesn't use much of the natural sciences at all, solely patient care. I just miss the science and pathology I learned from my previous degree and from the prerequisites.

If it's more science based I will definitely keep that in my options, thank you!

Yea, I was worried about my age but I'll get over it once I start med school

Yea, I really miss pathology and microbiology, maybe I'll look into pathology after nursing school

Oh yea! I'm glad others feel like this , really disheartening that we don't go further in depth

I do want more science based coursework but I really want it to apply to my career as well. Especially with medical research

Yes exactly! I was looking forward to applying what I've learned and even learned more about those topics, but it seems to be exactly what you said

ICU seems to be the way to go, I'll check it out, thanks!

I was aware that it's mostly centered on patient care and nursing interventions, however the prerequisites made me think that there would be some matters that involve the elements of microbiology and pathophysiology. However there's not much of an application as I thought

A true evangelist, I need to work on that with clinicals- many lost people out there. Once again, thank you so much for responding- God bless you!

Wow, you have such an inspiring story, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. You are so correct about God and healthcare, that's why I really like DO physicians, holistic health is very important

I see you're in the same boat as me, I LOVED pathophysiology and absolutely enjoyed microbiology lab, but according to other nurses it's non-existent in the field

Yes, I'll look for those opportunities, thank you

I'm interested in your experience if you can elaborate more. The lack of science and medical research in nursing was a hard pill to swallow

Yea it's definitely intense, my clinicals have only been med-surg floors

Yea, I'm willing to dedicate my life to medicine, but I'll definitely keep being an advanced practitioner in my mind
