I'm in New Hampshire going on my 3rd year in a BSN program at Plymouth State University.

I'm holding onto the advice to not give up and keep ahead of the work.

My greatest motivation is my husband and 3 year old daughter. I'm 43 years old and this is a second career for me. I've always wanted to be a nurse. I've been a hairstylist for 15 years.

Good luck everybody!
