Hi everyone! I’m working on an assignment of what everyday nursing practice actually looks like from an RN's perspective.

If anybody practicing RNs have 5–10 minutes to spare, I would be super grateful if you could answer any/all of the questions below! You can reply directly in the comments or send me a DM if you prefer. 🥲

(No real names needed I will keep everything anonymous or use an alias for my assignment so no need to worry!!) 😃

1. Role & Specialty: What setting/specialty do you currently work in, and what are your main daily responsibilities?

2. Educational Journey: What path did you take (e.g., ADN, BSN), and what was the most challenging part of nursing school for you?

3. Culturally Competent Care: How do you ensure you provide culturally competent care to diverse patients in your daily practice?

4. Advice for Future RNs: What advice would you give to pre-nursing students preparing for nursing school and entering the field?

5. Surprises/Misconceptions: What is one responsibility or aspect of nursing that you think the general public most often misunderstands?

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help out! 🥲!!

I might be overthinking a lot, but basically, I’ve been interviewing with this company, and the phone screen went well. I was referred by someone and got in contact with the hiring manager. Then, the hiring manager round went AMAZING, like, genuinely the best interview ever. We vibed and connected so well that he actually moved me to the next round MID-INTERVIEW. He said he still had five other people to get through, but that he wanted to move me forward right away. He even said I crushed it and gave me tips for the next/final round.

The final panel round last Friday went well, although not quite as well as the hiring manager round. They said I had great energy and that it was contagious haha. They also said they’d obviously speak with the hiring manager, but they still need to get through the remaining candidates. They gave me a timeline and said I should expect a decision sometime this week, or the week after at the latest.

Do you think I’m in a good spot? Idk why I’m overthinking everything. I just wanted to talk to someone about it. 😭

I have failed both of my exams so far in Calc and Chem and the worst part about it is I got a lower grade in the exams I studied for. I feel like I can come back in my chem class because I have a 54.42 if I do good enough on the final and exam 3 I think I should at least have a 64 which is a C but… for Calc everything considered there’s literally nothing I can do test wise I’m at a 35/200 and even with the final and exam 3 I doubt that pushes me ahead enough to pass this semester. And I literally talked to my academic advisor just today about it (before I got the scores) and without summer school I’ll likely end up behind (hell taking Calc 1 in sophomore year will put my behind anyways) i won’t be able to do anything except for core classes but major wise I can’t do anything no Calc 2 no physics. Im just a bit lost- I don’t want to give up or chance majors. Eva use this had been my dream since I was 8 but it’s kind of obvious what state I’m in- and this wouldn’t even be my first drop of the semester if I dropped Calc….
