Nursing school is stressful and expensive!

[rnT_16]

Hello all nursing students! I joined this forum to seek advice and also to have contact with the special people who are all going through the same journey as I am.

I figured posting my first topic would be a great way to start this new blog. Im in my last year and I graduate in June, Yay! I'm so excited yet also very nervous.

I'm curious to see where some of you are in schooling and how you've been handling it because for me I've been struggling through the program but somehow I manage to keep pulling through.

As if stress isn't enough the schooling is also so expensive

I graduated in May, but yes I can vouch that nursing school is very stressful an very expensive. But you have to look at it in a positive way. It's an investment and every single penny you have spent, will be earned back in the long run! For my entire last semester of school, I made it a point to speak and think positively no matter what was going on. I did not let any negative thoughts cross my mind! I kept the faith and before I knew it, the semester was over! I also had a part time job at a church that I absolutely loved. I worked with 3 and 4 year olds twice a week and believe it or not it was a huge stress reliever! I also would workout either before or after class 3 times a week. Sometimes I would even listen to my lecture though my headphones as I worked out. But hang in there, it only gets easier!

I hope this helped answer your question :)
