OOOOOhhh... clinicals are going to make this one cry. She has no idea what she is getting into.

LOL - she deleted everything! Kind of like closing the barn door after the horse has been let out.

NUH UH. Because any intelligent student can balance school and a social life and she thanked God that she's one of them.

Well, we haven't had a flounce in a while.

It is that time of year.

The OP is not a good representative of WKU students, The WKU Nursing program and all Hilltoppers past, present and future.

May I add to the fray? Just had an inkling she came here because she didn't get an answer somewhere else. And, yes. There is a similar post on THAT website's WKU page posted by A. I hate lame Pretty Little Liars references.....

As someone once wrote here: somehow I think her problem will resolve itself by the second round of recruitment.

Yep. I wrote that, and lo, it is once again applicable.

Thank you for reminding me so I can properly credit you. I had it as my signature line for several months. Think it's time to use it again? I do.

Wow...I missed a whole lot of drama today! Since I didn't get to tell the OP, I'll add it anyway. Half my chapter was nursing students, including my bio sister who lived with me. I witnessed first hand the rigors of nursing school and can tell you honestly that medical school clinicals are much more laid back.

I was not discounting your advice about it being difficult. But I do know what I can handle usually, sometimes I bite off more than I can handle, but I really do know how our clinicals are. I honestly love clinicals though and they are the only part of nursing I don't have to stress about. I'm a hands-on learner and thrive in clinical.

This whole discussion got very far out of hand with people being rude and me being rude back. I came here for opinions but most people decided to ridicule my life instead. None of you know me. None of you know what I can handle. I appreciate all the constructive advice about considering how it will fit into school and how it will fit into my schedule with Monday classes. After emailing Greek Affairs I found out that most of our chapters hold meetings on Sunday nights, so this is a nonissue for me. Also in response to the one who said I posted something on another site, I didn't. But hopefully if you found a similar post I will have another senior to rush with! Thanks to everyone who put in helpful advice. And I apologize for being rude back, but everyone who is being hateful to me should reevaluate their input in this because I didn't start any drama.

An outsider's perspective (I'm a member of a NPHC sorority):

Fifth, I've been keeping up with this thread since your first original post.

The way you phrased your original and unedited post, the tone of it came off a bit condescending. You may not have meant it that way, but that is how I read it.

One thing I have noticed during the years that I have been on GC is a few NPC PNMs come here asking questions with the hope of people telling them what they want to hear.

If you've had a chance to read different threads on GC about NPC recruitment, then you should have detected that the NPC members give honest and sincere advice. They are giving you the benefit of some of the thought processes that will happen during recruitment.

You should also keep in mind that you asked your question on a public message board where any one can read and answer your question, so you need to be prepared for a variety of answers. Essentially, you got what you came for. You may not have liked everything you were told in the way you were told, but I can assure you that you received frank advice.

Tis the season for a double flounce!
