10 Thoughts Everyone Has While Waiting To Get Into Nursing School

Stress, eager, stress, eagerly waiting and more stress. That is how I am feeling while waiting to hear if I got into nursing school or not.

Here are 11 other things all potential nursing students are probably thinking too.

1. I hope I do well on this anatomy test.....

I cannot afford a bad grade, I cannot!

2. How much would I be spending on nursing school?

Apparently too much...

3. Do I have everything I need for my application?!

Calling my nursing adviser for the fifth time as we speak.

4. Wait... what happens if I don't get in?

I NEED TO STOP OVERTHINKING IT.

5. I think I am going mad.

6. What is the passing score for the TEAS test again??

Golly, I hope I passed it!!

7. I should've studied more for that one test, dangit!

But Grey's was on....

8. After watching Grey's so much, maybe I should be a surgeon....

Nah, who am I kidding, I wouldn't know how to do it all, truth be told. I'll stick to wanting to be a nurse.

9. Breathe. Just breathe. Hopefully they will contact me soon if I get accepted or not.

10. I wonder if there is anybody in the same position as I am....


So to all of the soon-to-be nursing students, I UNDERSTAND what you are going through right now and so do a million other people. It is so, so stressful. At this point, everything we do is stressful! There are going to be times when you just want to call and email the nursing adviser over and over again to check if anything has changed. There will be times when you just want to hit your head against a textbook just hoping you will learn something from it. There will be tons and tons of late nights due to studying and too much caffeine being drank with so little sleep. But we all know that in the end, it will be worth it. Being a nurse will be so rewarding, and we all can't wait until the day we graduate and start helping to save lives.

Good luck soon to be nursing students, our journey will be here before we know it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
