I can not begin to explain to anyone how stressful Nursing School is. Or at least the program I am in. So I won't... I can say if you have taken a college load before, it's like taking 24 credit hours. Every class, lab, clinical has it's own curriculum, preparation, homework, assignments, etc. Somewhere in there you can see a clue.
We are bonded, in a unique way, because we are all going through the same thing. We have different backgrounds and stories and in the end we are sacrificing everything to make this and our future happen.
A classmate, and I won't say he's a friend because we are only acquaintances, bonded by situation, apparently, supposedly snapped. Details are not clear but the fact is an event occurred at clinicals last Wednesday. The group was sent home, immediately, not knowing the situation. Thursday they did not return to the clinical setting. Today there was gossip about his actions (still unknown for sure). The fact was announced that a situation occurred and he has been removed from the nursing program and he has been removed from the campus altogether. Our semester is not allowed to return to the particular facility where the event occurred. We are told this is for our protection and for faculty protection. The group has been assigned elsewhere.
For the record:
No, we are not friends.
No, we were not in the same clinical group.
No, I did not have clinicals at the facility he was at.
I am touched because it could happen to any of us and when I analyze the supposed events I realize that he will NOT be allowed to pursue a nursing education anywhere, at least in the state of Texas, if not the country. All those hours of prerequisites, all the pain and stress of getting accepted and it was lost in a moment.
I worry that he may harm himself. I was not friends with him but I don't wish that mental pain on anyone. If you've read my stuff long enough then you know I've had very close experience with suicide and I would really only wish it upon my worst enemy.
Please take a moment of silence. If you pray, pray for him. If you don't pray, just take a moment to show respect.

Point 1: If you do not like MY THOUGHTS do not read it. Don't leave comments telling me I'm a dumbass. I will not approve them and they will never see the light of day. They will, however, annoy the snot out of me for like 5 seconds.
Point 2: Don't SPAM! I do NOT give a flying fuck at a rolling donut what product you are promoting. Again, I will not approve your dumb as fuck comment. It will not see the light of day. And you will annoy me, for like 5 seconds.
I will laugh at you. Like this: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kthxbai.
To everyone else: Sorry. Dumbasses abound.
