Working and Studying as a Full Time Nurse

I am at a impasse. I am trying to decide whether I should test in June 2021 or August 2021.

I finished my first practice test. My test score was 134 on my first try. The Blind review score was 141. If I test in June, I am on a three and a half month plan. If I test in august, I am on a 5 and a half month plan.

Is it worth a shoot testing in June 2021 because 3 months is the average study time or due to my situation should I study longer due to my time constraints?

Yikes! As health care provider I feel bad for those who lack information herpesvirus and for those who are diagnosed with HSV and other herpes virus and feel crummy because it was described as grossed. Yikes!

My dumb behind thought I was justifying both of their actions. I need to read the question better.

Edit: after reviewing the WHOLE video I was originally semi right with my thinking. The right answer does not address both the actions altogether.

How do we become quicker in doing these types of questions? I feel like I cannot go through this much sparsing out the details with like 1-2 minutes to spare.

The same goes for medicine...assuming the dose instead of clarifying the order or assuming someone's wife was their daughter.

Assumptions makes an asses out of us all.

What weakens Debbie's argument is the opt out option. If they cannot opt out then Carl's argument stands ground better.

I got the question right without mapping it out. I mapped it out in the BR and AC A matched what I mapped out. Gosh, I feel silly. I looked over my mapping, and it did not match!!!!!!!

Fellow nurse here (traveler). I'm taking June having been studying since November, and that's only because I just cancelled my current contract to take the next 4 months off to solely focus on this. It's so difficult to maintain focus and momentum when we work the way we do. I would recommend August regardless of your goals, because you deserve to do the best you can. If you do have to work the whole time- pace yourself.

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. I am doing the august route!

I don't want to be negative, but with your background, seriously ask yourself why law school is a goal. My partner is an RN (1 year out of school), and she makes FAR more money than most lawyers earn even after several years in the field. I know that may sound anecdotal, but its indicative of the massive variance in job prospects between nursing and law. Nursing has a reputation for providing solid income and job stability; not the case with law grads of the past 10 years. Maybe its not about the money, and you have a legitimate interest in legal work. If that's the case, you have a massive amount of work ahead of you. 134 is a challenging starting point. Even most tier three schools require a 155 score, and they don't offer great employment prospects. I apologize for the pessimism. I just worry about the excessively optimistic attitude that circulates within these LSAT curriculum forums. Everyone here is in the same place (sitting for the LSAT), and consequently, there isn't the same level of realism that a forum like reddit provides its users, because that user base actually consists of law grads and lawyers that have career experience (or lack thereof, and are jaded as a result). If you haven't already, spend some time talking with recent (like last 5 years) law grads. Again, I mean no offense. Lastly, I'd think you'd need 6 months minimum, so August at the earliest. Best of luck to you.

Well, I do work a great job and I love helping people, however because I came from a low income background, I was pushed towards nursing. I want to work human rights or civil rights, I do not mind the potential pay cut if I am truly doing what I want to help people not because people think its best for me because it is stable.

And my piece of advice for anyone in your life who decides to become a nurse for the stability or paycheck, I would question them if that is their only reason. You get pissed on, vomited on and sometimes attacked by the same people you are trying to take care of, but I still left every shift with the feeling that I made an impact and helped people. I just think that my help is not of a great impact that I want it to be, hence why I going towards law.
