[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP: I would be proud if he was a nurse.[/quote]

Good grief, set your sights for him higher.

Quit thinking about how to stomp on his self-esteem just because your ego is bruised.[/quote]

LOL omg, imagine if I said, no I would be upset if he was a nurse. People would bash me. I can't win.[/quote]

You [i]would[/i] be upset if your kid becomes a nurse. You know he is capable of more than that, and you should encourage him to set his sights higher than that.[/quote]

Attitudes like yours are part of the kid's problem. I am an RN.  I love my career. I love what I do.  I left my career as an attorney to be a nurse.  Nursing school was way harder than law school.  It's the toughest thing that I have ever done.  If someone completes nursing school, they don't need to do "more than that."  It isn't a step down.[/quote]

OP here, RN school was gruelling. There  is no other way to describe it. I had classmates who had straight A's fail because they failed clinical.  They would have been great nurses but somethings a personality clash with the teacher is all it takes. [/quote]

Even without that kind of craziness, nursing school is really hard.  In order to get into my program, you had to have an A average in stats, chemistry and biology, and score very high on the nursing admission test.  Then half my class flunked out the first year, because the tests were that hard.  The workload is impossible. And yes, if an instructor takes a dislike to you, you are probably out of the program.

Nursing school requires a ton of smarts, the ability to handle stress gracefully, and the ability to work really hard.

People like PP piss me off. [/quote]
