Hi everyone! I’ll be starting my ASN program in January 2027 as an out‑of‑state student, and it still feels surreal typing that out. Where I live, getting into a nursing program is almost impossible waitlists, competition, limited seats all of it. I wanted a different outlook, a different environment, and honestly… a fresh start. They accepted my HESI, and that moment felt like everything clicked. The exam wasn’t even that hard when I took it, but seeing “accepted” made me feel like the universe finally opened a door for me. Right now I’m working in education, and it’s been rough. The field is changing fast, and not in a good way. I’m ready to step into something that feels meaningful again. I have some healthcare experience and I’m a certified phlebotomist, so I’m hoping to get back into the medical world soon maybe a hospital role or caregiving through an agency while I prep for school. For those already in ASN programs: What study methods actually help you stay grounded and not over
I have 3 weeks left of my BSN program, including two comp exams. I failed the first with a 62 and have been studying every day for the past month and a half to try and pull out a passing grade on the next two. I need to make a 76 average between them. Logically I know this is super doable, but I've been so dejected from the first exam that I've struggled to have confidence in myself. I just accepted my dream job, but I feel like so much is riding on this that the pressure is insurmountable and that I can't be excited for it yet. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How do y'all cope with inferiority complex and impostor syndrome? I've never been a person with test anxiety before, but I'm so scared right now. Do y'all have any tips and tricks for like... grounding yourself? submitted by /u/mothwingmirror [link] [comments]
Hi all I am currently an LVN I graduated last December and went straight into the transition program, which I’m currently in. Now I am pregnant. I am due in January and I am planning to induce labor as soon as healthily possible. And if that doesn’t work I want to schedule an induction at 39 weeks. That would give me about 10 days before I have to be back in class. I talked to my department chair and she gave me two options. I can either come back to class 10 days after giving birth or I can skip the semester and come back, but they don’t have any classes until fall of next year so I would pretty much be sitting out two semesters. I know there is no timeline but I really wanted to be in school while my baby is smallest so I can spend more time with her when she’s older and running around. I honestly don’t know what to do and I know this whole plan is just hoping my delivery goes well because if I need a c section i know for a fact I can’t come back ten days after. If anyone in a simila
Hello, I am a working lpn who is in an accelerated bsn program. Im about to finish prerequisites and start the nursing classes/clinicals. School will be mon-fri then I work 2 12s with a total of 2 hours commute for work each day (1 hr there 1 hr back) on weekends. How am I going to find time to study?? I can't afford to change to a closer job because only working 2 12s I can barely afford life and the pay is higher at my facility. People say C's get degrees but in my program you need at least an 80 in the class to pass. I am so scared I will fail and waste tens of thousands of dollars and be stuck in long term care nursing until I die. Any advice please? submitted by /u/insecurepanda69 [link] [comments]
Hi there folks, Starting Mental Health Nursing in September. I got tickets to Noah Kahan in July this morning (yay). I said to the girl I'm going with after we had bought the tickets that I could be on placement but I should be grand. She's now really angry that I only said after buying the tickets, which is fair but she knows I was doing nursing but hey ho. Anyways, I know you can't do much negotiation and that placement comes first, but how far in advance do you know what exact times you are doing for shifts? Is there anyway to move the shifts around during the week? I feel awful about the situation but I don't really know what to do. I'll get my timetable on the 7th but it may only show that I'm on placement that week and probably not what time or days I'll be working. Any advice? Cheers submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded_Set8604 [link] [comments]
I have been taking prerequisites to get into nursing school at my local community college. I have to have all of my official transcripts from previous colleges I attended. But I owe a school ~$12000 and therefore cannot get my transcript. I plan on getting a second job and taking a break from school for a year to pay off the debt. Do you guys have any tips on retaining information learned with such a long break? I have physical copies of all my textbooks and I have roommates I can practice on. Should I invest in any skeletons or models/posters? This is super important to me 😣💕 submitted by /u/may_dreaming [link] [comments]
I just finished 20 years in the Army as an engineer so this is a hard switch for me. Im currently in EMT school, I plan to use this to get my toes wet and be a transport or ER Tech while I do nursing school. Currently have a bridge program taking my degrees and turning them into an accelerated BSN course in person on a local campus. I have dealt with plenty of trauma and I have quite a few advanced first responders and trauma courses from the army, I know medicine isnt trauma. My question is should I start with ASN or go straight to BSN? Am I going to rush into this field and or get overwhelmed as its new to me? Any advice is super helpful thanks. submitted by /u/ItsKImaEngineer [link] [comments]
It’s my 2nd semester of nursing school out of state and I go home pretty much as soon as break starts. I was home the entirety of this past summer and intend to do so in the following winter and summer breaks. This time I want to get a part-time job, anything in healthcare support roles such as CNA/PCT, monitor tech, unit secretary etc. Would it be unusual/would I be a jackass to be working these jobs and expect to still have it after being gone 1-3 months in the year? (Obviously I would be transparent about my schedule from the jump). There is of course the option to work PRN, but it’s still a long stretch of time where I’m not there. I also don’t see any PRN job openings in local hospitals, apparently they usually only offer PRN roles internally. If I got a job this September I would only have it for 3 months before leaving in December. I’m just wondering high likely I am to be hired/retain a job with this kind of schedule. I just don’t know how common this is outside of, say, typica
Hi so I am in my first year of nursing school, and im getting my BSN. If you include pre-reqs, I am considered a third year. So my first ever nursing classes that I take this semester include fundamentals, health assessment, research, and integrative clinical strategies. From my understanding, research does not seem like the most tedious and stress inducing class. It is for the most part all group work with few reading quizzes. The lecture itself was horrendous for sure. It was 3 hrs long, but it actually could have gone for more. I already have to study for a quiz next week. Integrative clinical is a clinical class as well as lab skills combined into one grade/course. I find out more tomorrow and am too scared to check the syllabus. I have clinical Tuesday, and a lab skills day Friday. For fundamentals and health assessment, i have 5 exams each for both classes including the final. That is so unfamiliar to me. I do not know what to expect. Some of the exams for these classes overlap a

Hi everyone, I need some advice on how to prepare myself for the HESI A2. My circumstances are a little unique so I'll try to explain to the best of my ability. I intended to take the HESI this summer in hopes to start the nursing program at my university in January. However, I decided to plan my start to the nursing program Fall 2027 rather than spring semester. I met with my advisor yesterday and she is now telling me that since my university is going to a 5 semester program, that I would need to take the HESI now to gain admission to the Spring 2027 cohort. I feel absolutely blindsided by this since the HESI and application are due on the 1st (5 DAYS!!). So now I'm stuck preparing for the worst. I feel unprepared and want to know what I should focus on for the HESI. Since I did initially plan to take the HESI this summer, I did purchase the prep book by Elsevier, grind out modules in NurseHub, and average 85-95% on the practice exams for vocab, grammar, math and reading. However, I
Took an exam today, after we’re done we leave the computer lab and go back to class or on break until everyone is done. Today we walked in after an exam and all just gave a “wtf was that?” look and laughed entirely too hard. Instructor walked in afterwards and said, “Don’t even worry guys, I’m just glad you didn’t leave the program and came back to class. Saw the look on your faces after submission and was questioning if you all were coming back.” 😭😭 submitted by /u/Sudden_Term_9682 [link] [comments]
Just feeling discouraged already. I got a 68 on a quiz today and didnt submit the correct ati module format and the instructor never messaged to clarify if she was still going to give me credit since it is the first 2 weeks.. that was on 2 assignments. Feeling overwhelmed. The ati module lessons are so much reading. Like 5 hours a piece.. it just isn't feasible. Im not great at math and screwed up on the math quiz today. Several of us did but I swear.. I struggled before in college and I just dont know. They took us to lab and didnt explain a thing and just were having us practice skills with zero instruction. I feel slow like im not retaining info. Idk what to do. submitted by /u/swimmingupstr3am [link] [comments]

I am kind of shitting my pants here and looking for any advice and insight. Can you guys tell me what your second semester clinical entailed and what the day to day tasks looked like? Did you have adequate help and supervision? what skills should I make sure I have nailed down before? What was expected of you? We will be at med-surg once a week for 8 hours starting week 1. We will be assigned a patient and just expected to be their “RN” for that shift and perform all RN duties. We will be primarily alone. We were told we just need someone per policy when passing meds or transferring. Our instructor will be around to help, but there is 10 of us and I know how hard to track down she will be. I also know how the nurses on the unit are busy and aren’t expecting to have to hold our hands. I am hoping my interpretation of what i’ll be doing is wrong.. I learn best by following example and having feedback and reassurance. I was expecting to at least have an experienced person to assist with b
Hey everyone, I’m looking for some real-world advice from nurses/nursing students, especially anyone in Southern California or San Diego. I’m 25 and already have a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (pre-PT) from SDSU with about a 3.5 GPA. I’m currently a licensed EMT working in EMS and have decided that I want to pursue nursing. Most of my nursing prerequisites are already completed from my first degree and I’m currently figuring out which programs make the most sense financially and career-wise. Originally I was looking heavily at accelerated/second-degree BSN programs like SDSU, CSUSM and National University. The problem is cost. SDSU’s accelerated second bachelor's program alone is around $75k in tuition. I don't have that kind of money available, and because I already have a bachelor's, my financial aid options are more limited. That has me seriously considering a community college ADN program at somewhere like Palomar or MiraCosta, passing the exam and becoming an RN, then completi
I’ve lived a life that I never really expected to have a “real job” and have tattooed my body accordingly. However, recently I have decided I want to do something different with my life and, after much consideration, have settled on nursing as the path I wish to pursue. Curious if anyone has any insight as to if my tattoos will affect my opportunities moving forward. Ultimately my goal is to work in the ED if that makes any difference as well. EDIT: just to address a reoccurring question, I have tattoos on my hands, and technically my neck and face as well.

I know this is apparently common and I wanted to know how you guys who've experienced this cope with it. It's my first time in the O.R, basically I was about to serve the gloves to the doctor, but the doctor got really frustrated and snatched it out of my hands and the whole time throughout the surgery she just ranted about how I should just drop out, asking why I was still there and that I should just leave the room because I clearly have no skills. She wouldn't let me pass her any of the instruments, she'd just toss it back on the mayo table, told the scrub nurse supervising me not to let me help because she didn't trust me enough to be competent. So I just stood there the entire time just listening to her. I'm just thankful I didn't cry on the spot. How do you guys cope with this. To clarify because some people asked why I was allowed to scrub in: in the Philippines, it's required we do 10 major cases in the OR. 5 Scrub and 5 Circulating, depending on the institution it could be mor

I just started nursing school this week, and I'm already questioning whether I made the right decision. I would really appreciate advice from nursing students or nurses who have felt similar. For some background, I did very well in prerequisites like Anatomy & Physiology. My main way of studying has always been active recall/direct memorization. I would study PowerPoints, learn definitions and concepts, cover them up, and explain them out loud or write them in a whiteboard/piece of paper until I could recall everything. That worked extremely well for me.I finished all prerequisites with an A and Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 with over a 100% final grade. Nursing school already feels very different. There is a huge amount of textbook reading, material, assignments, skills, clinicals, and nursing-style questions where simply knowing the information doesn't always seem to be enough. I'm realizing that I have to learn how to apply the information and choose the "best" answer, and I'm worr
Hi, I wanted to ask how difficult majoring in nursing really is. I’m considering going back to school for nursing because I’ve been struggling to find a job in my current field. The biggest concern is the cost. I already have a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, so I believe the financial aid options would be limited to loans, meaning I’d be taking on a significant amount of debt. I want to make sure I’m making a smart decision before committing to it. For anyone who has gone through an accelerated nursing program, how difficult would you say it actually is? The school that I am thinking about requires at least an 80% to pass certain classes, so I’d really like to get an idea of how challenging the coursework is and how manageable it is for someone coming from a different field. submitted by /u/MediocrePass4780 [link] [comments]

I'm a 4th year student that got placed into post partum for final focus. I enjoyed my post partum rotation, but now I'm just worried about getting a job afterwards. I've heard different things - that med surge is the foundation and you want to keep your skills if you want to advance, e.g. nurse practitioner, or that even with post partum rotation, that you still need 1-2 years of med surge experience to get a job in post partum. I'm worried if I do post partum as final focus, that I'll have a difficult time getting a job as an RN. I wanna keep my options open, so is it best that I switch to med surge final focus? And then later just go into med surge to keep options open? And switch to specialty nursing like post partum or mental health if I decide to in the future? (Right now, I have no interest in ER or ICU) Please help, any advice helps! submitted by /u/kaziaraanon [link] [comments]

I'm graduating from an ADN program this December and I'm trying to figure out when I should realistically start applying for new grad RN positions given my background. I have one misdemeanor battery conviction from California from when I was 18, 13 years ago. It was an isolated incident with no injuries or jail time between myself and another adult, I completed everything required by the court, and the case was later dismissed/expunged under California law (it shows up on level 2 background checks as dismissed). I disclosed my history to my nursing program and have been able to complete my clinical rotations, including going through the required background screening process. I was turned away from one OB clinical but did sim lab. I contacted the FL BON, but understandably they won't give me a pre-determination about whether my application will be approved or whether it will require additional review. So there's some uncertainty about how long my licensing process could take after gradu

I need some prerequisites so I’ll be working on those first and then nursing school if all goes well. I’ve chosen a very affordable school and I have a car, housing. No debt will be taken on.

However, I have always struggled hearing blood pressure, the 2 step, I know how it should sound and I am unable to hear it on both of my stethoscopes.

So for context i am hopefully starting my adult nursing course in a few weeks time. However I am now absolutely bricking it as I dont know if they'll let me on the course. My enhanced DBS came back last weekend with a conviction for an unpaid train fare and subsequent conviction under the railways act. I did not disclose this on my fitness to practice form or at any other time. My reason for doing so wasnt an attempt to conceal the matter it was a two part error on my end, firstly I had genuinely forgotten about it. The incident happened in Oct 2019 with the conviction taking place Dec 2020, during this time I was struggling greatly with my mental health and was subsequently admitted to an acute ward as an inpatient in March 2021. My other reason for not disclosing this is that even if I had remembered about it, I thought as the train networks are ran by a private company I assumed it would be a civil matter, similar to a parking ticket and that it would not or could not be a criminal

I have heard things online about UOP having a bad rep but I don’t know if that’s still a thing. Thanks submitted by /u/xoxoangiexx [link] [comments]
I currently work in mental health and It seems like my current job is wanting me to be a nurse for them once I get my license, which is hopefully about 6 months away. It would be an easy in, however it’s a Monday through Friday and it’s a lot of office work. I really want to get medical experience first and just searching through jobs right now, a lot of them want a BSN or need experience as a nurse. I’ll be graduating with an ADN. I’m afraid if I stay in psych, I’ll lose my skills and forget a lot of things by the time I start looking for another job. I want to do anything but psych right now considering I’ve been in the field for the past 7 years now. I think I’m just extremely worried because I’ve been seeing nothing but people saying it’s hard to get a job right now as a nurse. Maybe I’m just thinking too far ahead, but everything’s moving so fast so I’m just worried. Anyone else in the same boat? submitted by /u/jimbojamesisbehindu [link] [comments]
