You have my deepest sympathies. I flunked out of clinical last week. I did very well in the lecture courses, but got nervous and fumbly while being observed. I'm so depressed I can't even begin to tell you. Plus I have troubles at home with a serious...
Bravo! Well done! There is a special place in everyone's heart for people who bounce back from adversity. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. There are so many of us who doubt and struggle. It's a noble and generous thing when someone comes b...
ImThatGuy - I don't know you, but I love you. Are you a Razorback? My mom (85 years old and still working) is a school nurse. Some of the stories she tells me are amazing. It's a very tough job, especially with the population she deals with. I hope ...

One more day - one day more. I would like to thank the people on this thread (and the people in this community) for helping me through a tough time. I am still in the game, mostly thanks to the support I find here. And I don't mean just the encouragi...
Oh, I relate to the bad experiences! I had a serious head injury and had to take a LOA. Fortunately I managed to outlast the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and return to the program. My sister is a corporate attorney (and a darned good one)...
