Today, after my son graduated from nursing school which I, as a single parent, paid for with blood, sweat, and tears, during his grad party he was asked what his next step was. His response was, "Eh, I kinda realized I hate nursing." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiance lost his shit when I told him that I’ve decided to go to nursing school. He claims that all nurses are cheating whores and that if I become one we’re through. His source? The troglodytes that thrive in the bowels of the internet. All because one guy got his heart broken by a nurse. FML
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML
Today, after switching careers to nursing, I got feedback for my first assessment. It indirectly implied, "Don't think like a doctor when you're studying nursing, don't diagnose patients." I barely passed and I'm only now realizing why my family was pushing me to go to med school. They know me better than myself. FML
Today, I had no choice but to bring my son to work as a med school professor. I sat him in a chair in a corner while I gave a lecture. To my surprise, he added another word to his limited vocabulary, and screamed it out loud with an ecstatic expression on his face. The word is "cancer". FML
Today, I was sent to an elementary school for safety day. One of the dads was asking about my job, when I told him about the long hours and high stress involved. He turned to his son and said, "Now see why you stay in school?" I'm a paramedic. With a bachelor's degree. FML
Today, I realized I freaking hate my career. I've only got through a semester, but I feel like I can't end the four years it takes. FML
Today, I realized my marriage is over. I was in labor with our first child and my husband acted like being there with me in the hospital was a chore. However, he saw a young nurse and his mood did a 180. He left soon before I gave birth because he “got hungry.” All of this and he STILL has no clue why I’m upset with him. FML
Today, my husband declined a $100k/year job due to him thinking that a full-time job at one work place would be too "depressing." I'm a nurse and have to wipe other people's arses for a living, then come home to this lazy dick. FML
Today, I've hated being a parent ever since I was baby-trapped at 17, but I stuck through it and never let my son suspect how I really felt, and we have a great relationship now he’s an adult. Well he just moved out yesterday, and today my wife told me she’s pregnant. Here we fucking go again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he finished. I'm a nurse and knew a few who quit half way through. He's always got it if he changed his mind later.

He should have known at least half way through is courses that he didn't want to be a nurse.

i worked nurse aid for years. loved it. it was in a pysch hospital there was something different and exciting happenig all the time without to many medical problems. poi.t is we still needed nurses over us. maybe he would like that type of nursing.

Let him work at a low end store for little pay before he realizes that he is grateful for the degree and is ready to use it.

Agreed. Working in retail is what made me want to go back to college.

As a nurse I say his damn loss. He is an ungrateful little twerp, but I'm also glad he isn't taking lives into his hands with that kind of attitude.

Don't worry OP there are other avenues he can take. My niece decided it wasn't for her and went into veterinary school. She could also have taken a few different other avenues Like lab tech. Health and safety. Food inspector. More schooling but not too much more. Good Luck

I put myself through nursing school--but realized I hated it two weeks in. However I had already quit my job, so I decided to stick with it. 1 year into a nursing job, I've almost paid off my $26,000 debt, and plan to think about another career when I'm out of debt. Nursing is like slavery/ torture (I'm a really good nurse by the way, super nice and makes all my patients happy--unless they're jerks). You can be a good nurse but hate nursing and hate your life.
