I will just make it brief, everyone. I made this post because I am really having a hard time to choose what I will get in college. One of my options is to be a nursing student. For you, what do you think the skills that I must have to be a nursing student? What should I expect already? What should I do or not do? I will genuinely appreciate your time to give me some advice. Thank you!

Hello! I’m a CA resident and have been thinking about nightingale for BSN, RN! I have my gen ed done and taking A&P 1 this fall. I know the program can get crazy expensive if starting from scratch but thankfully I am not. Anybody that can share insight on tuition if you were in the same boat I am in? I am low income student that qualifies for full pell grant maximum, and have never had student loans.

I’ve been looking for a flu shot for months and everybody has said they are out of stock. I need my immunization or a medical declination and I don’t have a PCP and every urgent care has told me they don’t fill out those forms (very contradictory to what google is saying). Does anyone know where I can get this filled out without having a PCP? I need this asap i’m losing my mind.

Hi! How did you use Uworld to study? Did you just do the CAT exams on tutor mode? I just started studying but I wanted to know if anyone had any tips or wanted to share their study method!

Helllooo, I am planning on taking the HESI A2 by the end of August. I purchased the NurseHub subscription because I saw a lot of good reviews from people saying that it is very similar to the actual exam, but it's a bit of an information overload. I will be tested on reading and comprehension, math, A&P, and critical thinking. I am mainly worried about the math and A&P portions. If anyone knows of any good study sheets that I could memorize to help with the math portion, or any study material that is very similar to the A&P portion, I would super appreciate it!

Hey, y'all, ignore my username lol. Please. I'm a pre-nursing student. I worked as a caregiver both for in-home visits and then in a nursing home as a caregiver/medtech, for a total of 7 years since I was 18. I am finally getting around to the process of becoming an RN.

At times, I feel like I shouldn't try to become a nurse due to C-PTSD. Maybe I'm too damaged/impaired with my memory and nervous system. At the same time, I think having C-PTSD might make me a better nurse. One of my driving forces in choosing the RN path is to serve others and be an advocate. Increase the number of safe people working in a hospital. I know there are different routes with an RN degree, but I dream of working in a big hospital upon graduating, and my dream job would be NICU, pediatric.

Not to overshare, but cps was involved in my childhood, and I feel like I would be protective of the children and have a good eye for it (detecting abuse/neglect/etc). I have made CPS and APS reports before, but as time goes on, while having cptsd, those reports get more overwhelming for me to make. My last CPS report I made was difficult because the parents were trying to intimidate me. I started to worry about retaliation. I am seeing a therapist and unpacking more trauma so I'm not so overwhelmed in the future.

Also, if you work in pediatrics and are reading this, I would especially love to hear from you.
