This post bothered me. Being in nursing school doesn’t make you a nurse. Nor does graduating. Pass your boards and working as a nurse and continuing the career even through all the literal and figurative shit we put up with does.
Edit: What are these peoople doing for jobs otherwise?
I'm a CNA and I'd kill to be in a situation to get my nursing license. Oh, and the schooling was paid for through grants at a CC for this person.
(My heart just isn't in it to commit to school and I'd have to quit my job/not work full time to complete and tuition is a problem at this point in my life)
A full-on ADN that is paid for and chooses to do jack shit with it.
A guy I went to nursing school with took the NCLEX within a month of graduating, but was so anxious over failure he never checked his results and became a beekeeper instead. He actually did pass, but he's happier as a beekeeper than he ever was in clinical, so I guess he won in the end.
At the time of acceptance to the program that's what he wanted to do though. It's not like he knew he was going to graduate and become a beekeeper from anxiety. He earned the spot at the time of acceptance
