Money too. Mine is mostly gone, and only my husband is working right now - I almost didn't have enough to pay for this semester, and loans...hah, funny. Not right now. So we're on a tight budget right now, and if all goes well I should be alright for my last semester as well. We're hoping the tax return helps it out some...

I think mine is the lack of time to study. I work full-time (have to) and have a family (husband, 3year old daughter & a dog) at home that I have to care for...so, time for me is limited...so I guess the best answer for this would be balance!!! I am doing it...in 3rd semester now out of 4, so I'm getting there, but none the less, makes for VERY stressful semesters!!!
Glad your financial situation was helped...that is stressful to think you'll have to stop...

My problem just became a problem this week. I was told by one of my professors that I was going to have a hard time staying in the program if I didn't get myself a car. I think it's unfair, but as of right now I've got too many other things to worry about and no way of obtaining a vehicle.

Well, my biggest problem is my shyness. I am still dealing with it. I get so timid during my clinical rotations. I use to stand outside my patient's room for like 5 minutes (or hide out in the bathroom) before I had the courage to even introduce myself. I have come out of my shell a lot since the beginning of nursing school, but I have a long way to go.

do you get student loans to pay for college/uni over there
so what are you supposed to do if you run out of money at the end of the last semester

My biggest issue was discovering that my husband of 11 years had a mistress.
I really didn't want to have to deal with a divorce during nursing school but, he really gave me no choice.
It all worked out in the end. I got the kids, the dogs, the car, the house & everything in it. I also got all of his family.
Now, if I just wasn't so lonely, everything would be great!
