Nursing school is a lot of work - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
For the most part, you are reading on a daily basis, studying for what seems like an endless journey, you no longer have friends, and you no longer have a sex life.
But, yes there's a but...
It is a rewarding career:
Abundant Employment Opportunities (compared to other professions)
Expanding Job Opportunities
Job Security
High Salaries
Very Satisfying
People Are Appreciative
So, when you wake up in the morning and you look like crap - just remind yourself that nursing is a rewarding career.

When I get up in the morning, I look like hammered :poop:......then I primp and fluff and put on some face, so by the time I get to work I look like regular :poop:. What's an old nurse gonna do, eh?
