Easy for me to say. Been a nurse for 13 years.

I got told I'd never make it in nursing school. My first semester teacher threatened to flunk me. It fuelled my fire and made me work harder. Everything happens for a reason. It made me tougher.

Specializes in LTC.

I took some difficult classes this term (Spanish, Anthro, algebra, clinical nutrition) but my most challenging was speech. It's a rough class... Don't lose hope!

I was rejected once from admission... absolutely crushed me mentally. However, I didn't see myself doing anything else career wise.. so I manned up... spend some $ on courses, improved my grades and got in the second time. Don't give up.. if I can do it, you can too. You just have to find the motivation within you... a self fulfilment in which goes deeper than just "I'm going to nursing school just for $ and job security".. but for a strong inner passion for helping people and human body. That is what got me over the hump.

Speech is a tough class, and it can be challenging if you get nervous about having an audience. You will be ready for it next time around!
