Today, I was reviewing for a major nursing school exam I have this week. I panicked because none of the material seemed familiar, and figured that I must've missed something during class and now had to catch up. After 4 hours, I finally realized that I'd been studying from the wrong textbook. FML

It took you 4 hours to figure out you were studying the wrong textbook? Are you sure you have the observation skills necessary to be a nurse? "Yes Doctor, we've had him on the ventilators for 4 hours, but he keeps trying to fight us and remove the tubes". "Well nurse, she's in labor so I would imagine she doesn't really need the ventilator."

Well at least now you are a more knowledgable, well-rounded person...yeah I'm just kidding, that blows, but you probably should've launched a major investigation before 4 hours had passed

I've done that before when studying for a law exam. But not for four hours haha. Not fun at all either way. But hey, its something to laugh at.

Let's hope you're more attentive should you pass and have to review multiple patients records.

I am in nursing school and I can definitely understand how this can happen. Lack of sleep + huge workload = bye bye sanity. Keep up the good work OP! It will all be worth it in the end.

let's hope you don't **** up like this when you're a nurse like "After a couple days I realized I gave my patient the wrong medicine, FML"

hey all, a nusing student is learning, and making this mistake is totally easy to do.. there are reasons nursing school is hard! after 2.5 years of 16 or more credit hours every semester including summer, plus 40 hours a week at work.. there are mistakes that have taught me how not to make with my patients.. just like locking your keys in your car does not make you a bad driver, this too is a mistake that can happen to anyone.. keep studying, keep trying, and there are brighter days ahead!
