June 6, 2011 - If you loved your time in nursing school, you enjoy sharing your knowledge with others, you thrive in a constantly changing environment, and you want to impact the future of nursing and increase exponentially the number of lives you are able to save, a career in nursing education may be calling your name.

“We are in the business of educating the next generation of nurses,” stated Judith F. Karshmer, Ph.D., APRN, BC, professor and dean of the University of San Francisco School of Nursing. “As a school of nursing faculty, our job encompasses attracting qualified candidates, working with our partners in practice to know what is the role and domain of nurse practice for both today and tomorrow. We partner with other nursing faculty and our colleagues across the campus to develop curricula that link undergraduate liberal arts and sciences to the art and science of nursing, and design curricula that are current and that reflect dynamic changes in the profession.”

Notes of a Student Nurse: A Dose of Reality « Off the Charts

It’s been said before that we are our own worst enemies, our own worst critics. I can’t imagine a time when these phrases are truer than during nursing school. Little more than a year ago, when I was starting my prerequisites for admission to the BSN nursing program, I was giddy with excitement. Images of what life would be like played in my head like episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, or, on a day I was feeling a bit more goofy, reruns of Scrubs.

I took any opportunity I had to share with friends, family—even new apartment neighbors—that I was well on my way to nursing school with the confident smile of a person destined to save the world, one patient at a time. I scoured discussion boards and nursing student forums late into the night, anticipating the day that I, too, would have something profound to contribute.

I laughed off those who warned me that the path was difficult and ridden with challenges. There was no bridge I couldn’t cross, no task I couldn’t do, and no test I couldn’t pass with flying colors. The world was mine. Now, I’m living those moments as a first semester nursing student—but a funny thing happened on the way to the present, a thing I will lovingly refer to as reality.
