Few careers offer equivalent advantages as nursing: registered nurses earn high salaries, work with exciting people, and \u2014 perhaps most importantly \u2014 significantly affect people\u2019s lives, often even saving their lives.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re headed for an excellent career, one that\u2019s rewarding, challenging, and always exciting. But a 3 year nursing degree<\/strong><\/a> is notoriously tricky. Most nursing programs require high GPAs and impressive scores in math, chemistry, biology, psychology, and other demanding subjects. It\u2019s also incredibly fulfilling.<\/p>\n

Nursing school isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. It may be extremely challenging. Nursing school has one among the strictest attendance policies known to humankind. There are not any such things as excused absences in nursing school.<\/p>\n

Practicing the right balance of (blending in innocuously, being somewhat helpful to the \u201creal\u201d nurses doing, you know, their actual paid work, and asking the acceptable amount of questions so you’ll learn, but not be too annoying) could be a downright overlooked award-winning performance skill.<\/p>\n

Bachelor\u2019s candidates take longer to graduate than ever before, with most nurses spending over four years earning their undergraduate degree. Because nursing programs tend to be more demanding in terms of credits, many students are forced to fast-track their degrees by taking multiple hard classes at once if you\u2019re in nursing school, which means several of the first stressful midterms and finals at an equivalent time.<\/p>\n

Because of these factors, all-nighters are inevitable. But nursing students know better than everyone else that staying up all night to cram isn\u2019t good for your health. Getting a decent night\u2019s sleep before an enormous exam will help you retain memory and stay focused. Ensure that once you enter nursing school, you don\u2019t bite off more than you’ll chew. Attempt to alternate those tough classes, so you don\u2019t have competing exams.<\/p>\n

Nursing school burnout is real. Numerous studies are indicating that nurses-in-training feel burnout at a higher level than students seeking other career paths.<\/p>\n

The friends you meet in nursing school are going to be lifelong friendships. Nursing school is a unique environment. There\u2019ll be few times in your life when you\u2019ll engage so closely with people of the same career path, especially in scenarios where you\u2019re forced to work together and lean on one another so often. Making friends in the school of nursing isn\u2019t inevitable for everybody, but it can certainly benefit those that prioritize friendships. Close friends will assist you to succeed once you study together, network together, and confide in one another. But 2\/3 of the students in your class won’t graduate on time or will drop out. Get used to it and in 3 year nursing degree you\u2019ll fail an exam or two (74 is considered failing). Cry, then advance and obtain that 85.<\/p>\n

Some patients won\u2019t allow you to do anything to them \u2013 not even take a vital sign. It is okay and doesn\u2019t make it personal. Patient safety is and always is going to be the right answer. When unsure on an exam, pass your ABC\u2019s for patient care priority: Airway, breathing, circulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
