19 Things About Being A Nursing Major As Told By Michael Scott
NBC Universal

If you're a nursing major, you relate to the following 19 things all too well. Between your clinical encounters and constant studying, you can't help but wonder if anyone else outside of your major understands the daily struggles you face in nursing school. And even though being the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc. isn't the same as being a nursing major, Michael Scott does a pretty accurate job of describing what it's like.

1. When your professor overloads your brain with information on the first day of class

2. Realizing that all your time will now be spent studying in the library

3. Being jealous of your friends with non-science majors, but then remembering that your job security/availability after graduation makes the stress a little more bearable

4. Having to accept the harsh reality that your days of making A's on every assignment are now over

5. When you're asked to share your answer and why you chose it with the whole class

6. Forgetting one item in a "select all that apply" question, therefore losing all of its points

7. When you're giving an IV for the first time and your patient jokingly asks, "This isn't your first time giving one of these, right?"

8. You're almost certain that your school's nursing board chose the ugliest scrubs they could find and said, "Let's make these mandatory."

9. Knowing that you have an important exam that you could (should) be studying for, but deciding to watch Netflix instead.

10. Getting to the first day of clinical after weeks of classroom practice

11. When you become the ultimate mom-friend after learning about the effects various substances have on the human body

12. Running off of 4-5 hours of sleep has become the new norm for you

13. And getting just the recommended 7-8 hours makes you feel like a kid on Christmas morning

14. You have a love-hate relationship with ATI

15. When your study group says they're meeting on a Saturday

16. Choosing an answer that's correct, but not the "most" correct, therefore it is wrong

17. And even though the late nights and stress can feel overwhelming...

18. ...you wouldn't want any other major because you can't wait to save lives and take care of others.

19. And let's be honest...

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
