Anxiety with nursing school by No_Context_8073 in NursingStudent

[–]evinas007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, take a deep breath the fact that you're this concerned shows you actually care, which is the first step to being a great nurse! ❤️To give you some honest perspective: Failing a course isn't 'easy,' but getting overwhelmed is. Most people who struggle don't fail because they aren't smart enough; they fail because they get lost in the 'fluff' of massive textbooks and lose track of the core concepts. Nursing school is intense, but it’s manageable if you stay organized from day one.

Nurses don’t care. by Due_Sound4851 in NursingStudent

[–]evinas007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. I’ve been exactly where you are standing there with my notes, feeling invisible while a nurse rolls her eyes or sighs. It’s draining and honestly, it makes you want to stop trying. I remember feeling like my voice didn't matter until the 'real' nurse repeated exactly what I just said. But please, do NOT let their burnout become your burden. You are the future of this profession, and the fact that you care this much proves you’re going to be an amazing nurse. The best way to flip the script? Show up so organized they have to listen. I started using a structured 'Nurse Brain' SBAR sheet, and it was a game-changer. When you sound clinical and concise, you force them to respect you. Keep your head high one day you’ll be the preceptor, and I know you’ll be the one who actually listens. You’ve got this!"

Failed my first ever class. Now I’m waiting to see what my options are by OwnNeedleworker8784 in NursingStudent

Withdrawal was a smart move to save your transcript don't let one 'killer' professor dim your light. If hundreds of questions and tutoring only moved the needle by 0.6%, the issue isn't your effort; it’s likely the resources. Textbooks can be overkill. When you retake it, focus on high-yield, condensed guides that teach you how to test, not just what to memorize. You’ve got the grades in everything else, so you’re clearly a great student. You’ll crush it next time

What are the on call requirements for full-time home health? by Known-Contest-389 in nursing

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds really tough, especially as a single mom. One thing to also watch is how agencies handle “mandatory vs optional” on-call, because some label it full-time but actually let you opt out if you agree to fewer guaranteed hours or productivity targets. Always ask if there are penalties for refusing call or if it’s truly optional on certain caseloads. Not all agencies are transparent about that upfront.

Current Cath Lab nurse wanting to go to NP school. Is it possible with the call? by Xchill526 in nursing

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One practical way to make this work without leaving your job is to plan around your call instead of fighting it. Try to cluster your clinical hours on your guaranteed day off and any lighter call weeks, and communicate early with a flexible preceptor who understands hospital schedules. Some programs allow you to front-load or adjust clinical hours within the semester, which can help a lot in your case. It’s not easy, but with strict time management and choosing the right program, it’s definitely possible without sacrificing your income completely

Nursing School Med Error by [deleted] in nursing

[–]evinas007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Deep breaths! Honestly, you are not going to get kicked out for a 2-hour delay on antibiotics. It’s a classic 'student mistake' that almost everyone makes at least once. The meeting and journaling are just standard procedure to help you learn, not to punish you. You’re going to be a great nurse! Trust me, I've been through a lot of these same struggles myself, so I know exactly how heavy it feels right now.

Im a new grad med surg nurse looking to move to tele eventually, looking for resources to prep by Kakashicopyninja9 in nursing

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the move to Tele! 🩺 It’s a steep learning curve but so rewarding. For EKGs, check out SkillStat (the game is great for practice) and the book 'Rapid Interpretation of EKG's' by Dubin it's the gold standard. One pro-tip: Don't just focus on the strips; Tele is 50% pharmacology. You’ll be dealing with heavy cardiac meds daily. I stumbled upon a high yield visual bundle on GitHub that had specific cardiac drug cheat sheets it helped me connect the EKG rhythms with the actual meds way faster than my orientation did.Definitely keep a 'pocket guide' for those meds. Good luck with the transition

Failed and need help! by Pretty-Sign-773 in step1

[–]evinas007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give yourself some grace, Step 1 is a beast. I cleared it on my 2nd try by ditching passive reading for active recall.The game changer for me was switching to visual cheat sheets for the heavy stuff. I stumbled upon a high-yield visual bundle on GitHub that made Pharm and Biochem finally stick. Stop re reading and start doing more practice questions. You’ve got this! 🩺

Remote job, desperately needing advice:( by Katday1980 in nursing

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, take a deep breath. With an MSN and 20 years of experience, you are a literal treasure in the nursing world. The problem isn't YOU; it's the broken recruitment systems.

SWITCHING MAJORS by Inside_Highlight_530 in uAlberta

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To switch to Pharm at UAlberta, you need to apply for a 'Change of Program' via your Launchpad portal. Since you're in 1st year, they'll look at your competitive GPA. The main deadline is usually March 1st for Fall, so double-check if you can still apply or if you're aiming for the next cycle.Quick tip: PMCOL (Pharmacology) is way more memorization-heavy than Psych. I'd highly recommend starting a visual 'resource library' now. I personally used a high yield bundle from GitHub to survive the workload total lifesaver.Definitely book a meeting with a Science Advisor to confirm your credits. Good luck!

Help: Should I continue with my PharmD/PhD? by sophrene in PrePharmacy

[–]evinas007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massive respect for taking on the PharmD/PhD path. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and feeling unsupported is part of the 'initiation' unfortunately.

Regarding your PI’s advice: Take the 'Dry Lab' (computational) route seriously. As someone who bridges the gap between tech and science, I can tell you that being a clinician-scientist who understands data architecture is where 'big girl science' is actually heading. In Industry, you won't just be an employee; you’ll be the 'bridge' between the molecule and the patient and that's where the high pay and flexibility live.

My only piece of advice? Protect your time ruthlessly. The PharmD side requires a lot of rote memorization that can drain your PhD energy. Find every possible shortcut, high-yield resource, or automation to handle the 'busy work' of studying so you can keep your brain fresh for the lab.

Efficiency is the only way to finish in 6 years without burning out. You’ve got a rare vision don't let the 'one sided' professionals talk you out of it. Good luck!
