Dear Incoming Class of Nurses

When my accountant saw my W-2, he asked why I would be willing to be an educator for such a small amount of money. I explained that money is not everything, as I am already rich. When a former student calls me to say that they have just started their doctoral program, I am rich. When I see a graduating class walk across the stage at pinning, I am rich. And, more than at any other time, I am rich when I see a brand new group of students at orientation. New students are potential, and the future of nursing. Welcome!

Hello, new and established students! I wish you all success, challenges, and great learning experiences in your journey. Try not to think of yourself as "just" a student. May you all find good mentors to push you and help you recognize your strengths!

I really enjoyed reading this article! I pray that I will have instructors like you when I start my nursing program.

As I prepare to start nursing school in June, you have put many of my fears to rest. After all the horror stories posted on here, I was sceptical that this is something I want to put myself through.

Thank you for restoring my faith.

I teared up too. I hope my instructors are this way.

AspiringToRN2 - people tend to come on the internet to vent. Take it with a grain of salt.

Seeing great exam grades, high NCLEX pass rates, and watching students "get it" for the first time are all great rewards!
