      If you need a break say if you are in your second semester would that be okay? When I say a break taking a semester off from the program.

      I know this is a year ago, but I think it’s best to just stick it out. I had so much bad stuff happen to me in nursing school. My wife at the time had an affair and got pregnant, so we got a divorce. I tore my rotator cuff and had surgery on my dominant arm. I hit a major depression, but I finished. I even failed my NCLEX and I graduated with honors. Just push through it and come out a stronger person. Now I’m single, no kids, and moving to South Carolina to start a new life.

    i would rather go through mechanical engineering college AGAIN than continue nursing school just for an associates. nursing school teachers got big egos. got tired of hearing "well did you read your book?", or "it is not meant to be easy." well one: yes i read my book. two: no crap it is not easy. i never said why is not easy.

    I've noticed that most students, including myself, consider dropping out in clinicals. If your clinical placement sucks, it really makes it hard to want to continue. If you have a crappy instructor on top of that (like I do) it really adds to the feelings of anxiety/depression/anger that you feel.

    You have been such a huge resource for me and I probably wouldnt be here if there wasnt amazing nurses like you on youtube to help me...but saying nursing school "Can be trying at times" is a severe understatement lol.
    I am at my wits end and I'm only in the second semester. I thought the whole goal of nursing school was to teach you things and help you retain this important information so you'll be a good nurse...NO!! In reality it's cramming a ton of information in an unreasonably short time and moving on to the next truckload of information. Week by week we're tested on what we learned that week and then BAM!! Next!
    I just don't understand how this is helping us retain relevant information. It's more like a weekly cram session with new info every week for years! It's exhausting and frustrating! I just wish we could cut out the papers and unnecessary stuff that is just busy work and focus more on the hands on that nurses need to know, you know?

I don't like online classes either because we are teaching ourselves. Why am i paying thousands of dollars to teach myself. The school should be paying students to teach themselves. I think I'm going to cut down classes to maybe 1 or 2 per quarter. Sucks to pay more for longer time in school but will fail out of classes to lose money and education either way
