That like all things, nursing school does indeed end, and faster than you think. So, just deep breathe, work hard, soak up all you can and deal with it. Soon enough, you will be out on the floor, working as a nurse, only without the safety net of your instructors to fall back on.

That there are days when I would feel like a plumber, electrician, chemist, and/or an electronics technician, and other days when I would feel like a psychologist, chaplain, and/or mother, and that I would love both kinds of days.
