7 Struggles of Being A Nursing Major

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

1. You find yourself gravitating towards a friend group of all nursing majors because they feel your pain.

2. You can’t help but start diagnosing your friends when they feel sick.

3. You have said goodbye to your social life and ditch your weekend plans to study for that major exam coming up next week.

4. Your lab causes you to miss out on getting lunch and dinner with your friends.

5. There’s that awkward moment when your geriatric patients start hitting on you.

6. You cry when do horribly on a test and you cry tears of joy when you do well.

7. On graduation day you will be throwing your cap in the air to celebrate the end of pathophysiology exams.
