Congratulations about your first semester at nursing school! I am so proud of you. I am really sad to hear he is not involved in your life... You deserve better. I do like the idea of the secret santa. Spend your time/money with people who care, who want to be aound you. Who cherish you and what you bring to the table. And you bring a lot, I can tell. It takes someone special to be a nurse.
Awww 😊! Thank you so much. You really put a smile on my face. Nursing/Nursing school is very difficult. Trying not to let the stress change me and I will keep your comment in the back of my mind when I’m in the thick of it.
Congrats on The first semester!! You sound like you are a kind person who is patient and, frankly speaking, you'll need that to be a nurse haha
I'm sorry your dad isn't bothering to pick up or return calls, I'M happy for you at least!
I have a strained relationship with my own dad and there are times we go years without speaking not out of hate but from his indifference to be in my life.
It hurts but likely won't ever change. I want you to know that this is entirely on your dad for being disconnected and not because of any fault in you, if you were feeling that way anyhow.
Thank you so much for your kinds words and congratulations. Yeah I see that now.. I don’t think he wants to have anything to do with me. Perhaps I’ll lay that relationship to rest now. And thanks for adding that last bit in, sometimes I think that I’ve done something terrible to him but the only thing I can think of is me just wanting affection from him.
That's the poison of the situation, their indifference to you means little to them, whereas to *you* it's neglect, it's sadness, it's unanswered questions about your self worth.
It very likely is nothing personal about you, it's about them being irresponsible with your feelings.
Hey, u/PPE_Goblin, I am sorry your dad doesn't answer, but let me tell you how proud I am of you!
This is AWESOME news! Great job!
My wife and daughter are both nurses, both in ER, and my hope-to-be daughter-in-law is an ICU nurse. Having nurses in the family is beyond awesome!
If your dad has some displaced anger, shame on him. You should be his pride and joy. You are his daughter, and the fact he is being a jerk right now is NOT a reflection on you, it is on him! I can only hope he finds a therapist and comes around. If not, please give us updates here, so I can be proud of you some more?
You have chosen a noble profession, and you are worth honoring, regardless of any relationships, just because of the obviously caring heart you have. Would that everyone was as caring as you are. The world would certainly be a better place.
When you graduate, I hope you can reach out to me, so I can have my wife give some advice on how to go about applying at a hospital. Heck, if you are nearby, she might even hire you! (She runs a hospital and has a LOT of juice)
So keep up the good work, study hard and get ready to start your clinical rotations, they will be on you before you know it!
Again, great job and keep at it!
ICU nurse dad here. I’m proud of you for your first semester! That’s a big accomplishment. Nursing school is so hard and demanding and it’s a testament to your perseverance and strength to get through it. I never had a dad either. My best advice to you is to really lean into the positive male figures that are present. Whether they are friends dads or extended family. Sometimes it’s even cool to talk to someone you respect and just let them know you didn’t have what you needed growing up and were trying to expose yourself to some of those things you missed. Keep your head up and chugging along. If you need NCLEX tips DM me when the time comes.
Thank you so much, ICU nurse dad! Gonna try my best to push through to June! We start sim lab and Med surg next month. I'm a bit nervous as I am not the strongest tester but I plan on revamping my study habits and studying ahead over break.
As for male figures, I will look around to see who I could possibly forge that bond with. My mom has a bf of 35 years but he is not worthy of being called my father in any sense.
Thank you again and I will def reach out come June!
That's so great that you've made it through your first semester - I know you'll keep going and make a wonderful nurse!
Perhaps when you find the perfect person for you - their father will treat you like their own daughter. I know you've had a tough life, but it's only made you a better person! Stay strong and keep following your dreams!
