I do have a family and a job on the side but what makes the day count is knowing what we will be doing as nurses in the end!
For all the people getting discouraged please don't let yourself fall short. This is a hard profession. Not only do we have to know the medical aspect we must also learn to communicate with patients of all difference types AND to prioritize. I mean, it's crazy! We are almost there and we will make it in the end!
Best advice .... Learn how to take constructive Critisim . Period . Is a though field and not everyone is nice and welcoming out there .And .... Always ask questions if unsure of something . Never do anything unsafe and always learn from your mistakes :) that's how u thoughen up .
I was "lucky" enough in high school that I never really needed to actually study - just read the passage and could get good grades. Now I don't know how to study or pace myself! I almost died cramming last semester. I hated myself for it, but I couldn't get out of the rut! No fun. :)

Sounds bad, but tell your family "See you in two years."
You need to be selfish now (time spent with books and not family), but in the long run you will be able to give back soo much more!
