My first job out of nursing school was in the Neuro ICU at a very large hospital in downtown Dallas. In this particular hospital, new ICU nurses complete a 13 week internship partnered with an experienced nurse (called a preceptor). My preceptors name was Vanessa, she was the typical ICU nurse type - a hardcore, type A nurse. She trained me well . . . but . . . those 13 weeks came to an end and it was time for me to be all on my own - no safety net to fall back on, no babysitter to make sure I did everything by the book - it was just ME. To be honest . . . I was terrified. I wish I'd had a tool like NURSING.com You CAN do this Happy Nursing! -Jon

Just 4 words saved her life . . . "You CAN do this" In 2018 as a nursing student, Heather found herself in a very dark and lonely place. But those 4 words brought her out of that darkness and gave her hope. I was there with Heather when a nursing student asked her, "Will I make it through this?" ======== Here is her response: "You WILL make it through. When I got back from Iraq in 2008, I suffered from PTSD. And when I first found NURSING.com, I didn't think I was going to make it through. I felt like a failure, not only in nursing school, but in my life. My marriage was trash. I felt like a failure as a parent because I felt like I wasn't present. I had just failed med surg by 0.2%. I was ready to kill myself. I was done. But hearing Jon and everybody else say that you can do it, it is going to be okay, and you will make it through, saved my life. NURSING.com saved my life in more ways than one. And I'm here and I graduated, you CAN do this." #NursingSchoolMotivation #MotivationForNursingStudents #NursingSchoolJourney #InspiringNursingStudents #NursingSchoolLife #StayMotivatedNurse #NursingSchoolInspiration

[After graduating from nursing school with a 3.8 GPA, Ashley failed the NCLEX 3 times. This is her story.] Learn more about NURSING.com: https://nursing.com First one was a knife to my chest. I was miserable. I really honestly thought this was my calling for so long. Nursing is what I wanted to do. For four years, I had worked so hard and I was unsure, should I change my career? Should I do something else? The first time I failed, I decided I would run 10 miles, and I cried the whole time. I remember, thinking, I want to die. I just don't understand. I thought I knew so much, and for some reason I failed and the rest of my class was successful. Why am I going through this? Taking the NCLEX was so stressful and all that pressure with people around you constantly leaving, and I am a very slow test taker. I had to really take a week and really ask myself, is this worth it? I did all this work, what went wrong? Is something wrong with me? Am I not smart? What am I going to do? You feel that your classmates will make fun of you or that they question if you're going to be a good nurse and you start to create all these webs and negativity and it just storms. Patience, positivity, prayer, and perseverance. As a nursing student, you are your hardest critic. Sometimes we're perfectionists and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. So I would say strive for progress, but not perfection. I think of my experience as being in a boat in a really rough storm. To be a skilled sailor you can't have calm waters. You need the storm. And so whatever purpose it was for me to fail the NCLEX three times, it really has blessed me and I feel like a better woman. I can't believe I'm saying that, but really I do. I feel like it strengthened me.

Working as a nurse in the ICU, I cared for many patients who are burned into my mind and heart forever. I would like to share with you the stories of two patients that I will remember forever and whom shaped my life and nursing career forever. People NEVER forget their nurses. The rest of their hospital stay will be a blur, but their NURSES will be in their minds forever. It's okay to CARE as a nurse. We went into this profession because we want to ease human suffering. We need more nurses who CARE. Thank you for choosing this profession. I started NURSING.com to reduce your stress in nursing school, so you can focus on the patients. Happy Nursing! -Jon

During my first semester of nursing school my son was born and he had a couple issues that required him to stay in the hospital during his first couple weeks of life. My wife and I were sleeping at the hospital. I would go to nursing school and then come back and be with him. But there was one night where we were extremely tired, and so we went down to the hospital cafeteria to get some food. And when we came back a few minutes later after eating his nurse, her name was Tracy (I still remember her name 12 years later) was sitting there giving him a bath and cuddling him and keeping him warm. And it was very clear with the way that she was taking care of him and working with him, that she cared very deeply about him, about his exact needs in that moment. And it was in that moment that I truly realized that everyone is going to have that one nurse that they remember forever. Here I am 12 years later, and I still remember her. I remember that moment. I remember the sense of walking in there and that comfort that I had, knowing that she was there with my son taking care of him. You guys, this journey is not easy. And I know that maybe you haven't yet, but there's going to be a time in your career, whether that's in nursing school or whether it's as a nurse, that you're going to hit some kind of proverbial wall. You're going to feel like you can't keep going forward. But I want you guys to think about that. Why? Think about those moments that you've had that have helped you see why you're doing this. And if you need to write that down, put it as a screensaver on your phone. Send yourself an email every now and then with your why. We need you. We need nurses who care. We need you to stay in the career field. We need you to work in the career field. You guys can do this. I know that there's moments when it all seems impossible, but you can do this and I know that you can do this, so stick with it. Remember your why. Go out and be your best self today. 💙 Happy Nursing! -Jon

Cirrhosis is deeply concerning due to its potential to severely damage the liver. As scar tissue gradually replaces healthy liver tissue, the organ's ability to process nutrients, detoxify the blood, and produce essential proteins decreases. Cirrhosis often develops silently, with symptoms appearing only in later stages when significant damage has occurred. Full Episode HERE

Get NCLEX Flash Notes here: https://nclexbook.com I know just as well as any other nursing student - nursing school is freaking EXPENSIVE! I attended an Accelerated BSN program or ABSN designed for working professionals interested in a career change. That means that it was about 4 years of nursing school compressed into 18 months of grueling torture - about at the cost of all 4 years combined! My wife and I were pregnant with our son Taz at the time, and… … We were buried in student debt… …We were living on food stamps and WIC… .. We were sleeping on a mattress I pulled from the dumpster… …I was giving my all (what was left) to becoming a nurse… Once Taz was born, we found out that he had a fairly rare congenital birth defect that required multiple surgeries and weeks of hospital stays, just in his first year of life. I will never forget staying up late into the night studying for exams in his hospital room by the light of the Emergency Room signage below then waking up in the early hours with him or going across the street to school and rushing back to baby Taz. There were times I would bring him up to the school library during his nap time so I could attend a study group while he slept in his stroller. I was completely dedicated to being an amazing nurse. 1st Semester GPA - 4.0. 2nd Semester GPA - 4.0 I was rocking it, but Taz's surgeries were really starting to weigh on my wife and I. That's when the 3rd semester started, and I got the nursing professor from hell… She had an utter lack of understanding of education, clinical nursing, and general people skills. Over the course of the semester she only became more and more obtuse with her thinking and was clearly not in the game of educating nursing students but reaping vengeance on some past experience. Not quite who I was paying tens of thousands of dollars to study under... I wanted nothing to do with this woman, and therefore this class, and even nursing school in general! I had lost all motivation to keep going in becoming a nurse. With only 10 weeks to go until graduation, I dropped out of nursing school…

Get the free NCLEX Flash Notes ebook at: https://nclexbook.com When we become a part of a group, especially a group that is so underfunded and understaffed (like Nurse Educators) it becomes very easy to defend every action and every individual. (In the past, I have mentioned several things that I feel need to change in nursing education. You can read about that here and here.) This is flawed however, because doing so denies the issues and neglects the need for change. Rather than keeping an open mind about how to improve, the moment we try to protect or defend an entire industry, we enter into confirmation bias and inhibit our ability to objectively see the need for change. I know, without a doubt, that whenever I mention the need for change in nursing education we will get an email or two from a professor or administrator ranting up and down saying . . . (my answers below each one). "How dare you say there are flaws in nursing education!" It is completely asinine to assume that there are NO flaws in ANY industry, company, or individual. Hell yes there are flaws in nursing education . . . you know what? There are flaws with NRSNG and with Jon Haws too. None of us are perfect. It's time to be a bit more humble about what needs to change. "You are everything that is wrong with nursing!" Ummm . . . if pointing out areas of improvement and then creating those lifelines for nursing students after the educators they have relied on have failed them is "what's wrong" with nursing . . .then we have much bigger problems. "If students weren't so lazy." No doubt, there are some lazy students out there. However, all 300,000+ nursing students are not lazy just like all nursing educators are not "bad". Lazy students do not preclude the educator from educating. Just as poor educators do not preclude the student from graduating. "We don't know the professors side of your story. I'm sure you were in the wrong." I state exactly what I did wrong on this post. Being will to openly share my failure shouldn't grant you the right to attack my vulnerability and excuse poor education. "Nursing school was hard for me, so it needs to be hard for other students . . . it's the school of hard knocks." (p.s. this one pisses me off more than any other) Is this a joke? Like seriously, is this a joke? It's your freaking job to educate. I would NEVER wish on anyone to work on a floor where this mentality was adopted. Imagine working with nurses who think it's okay for other nurses to struggle just because they've had some hard shifts. Like . . . is this a joke. If you see a co-worker struggling you just turn your head and let them sink rather than throw them a lifeline. Get over yourself. "We will NEVER share your material with our students." Thanks. You just proved my point that nursing education needs to change! How juvenile it is to deny your students of helpful materials just because your feelings got hurt. The funniest thing about this email is that they are emailing us AFTER finding AND using our materials. Then, they get their feelings hurt and refuse to distribute anything NRSNG to their students. Dude! You just proved the point. Some administrators have gone as far as to BAN myself (Jon) from physically coming on their campus. Come on! It's time to grow up, recognize the flaws, and provide your students with anything that will help them. "You are a bad example of negativity in nursing." I take offense to this. Our podcast has 800+ episodes covering an enormous amount of material on positivity. Our blog has 800+ posts, our YouTube channel has 400+ videos, our Instagram account has 700+ posts . . . 99% of this material is positive to nursing and nursing education. If I point out one flaw or state that "nursing education needs to change" and you see that a "negativity in nursing", I fear we are so deep into confirmation bias . . .
