I'm entering nursing school, an accelerated BSN program, in a month and I'm nervous. A few years ago I dropped out (though I soon would have been kicked out) of PA school. I'm in no way a slacker I tried my hardest, that's for sure, but I have an autoimmune disease that decided to kick my butt, hard, that year.
In the last few years, not that I really had a choice, I gave myself the time needed to fix up my body and mind. And I think I'm really good. I want to say that I'm ready. But I'm very nervous.
Is nursing school as difficult as PA school? Can there possibly be as or more work?
Folks on allnurses.com talk about nursing school as though it is the most difficult undertaking known to man, but that to me was PA school. PA school was hell in a lecture hall and I guess I still have some scars from the experience.
I assume that the material is significantly different than PA school, being a medical model and all. In the end I want to treat patients and help them to be or stay healthy. This is a step. I'm not sure what form that will take in the future... PA, NP, med school...? Or maybe I'll love nursing so much I'll be a lifer?
Thanks!
