my friend has been in school since 2004 (since high school) she has been having a lot of trouble from grades in a few of her classes to getting on waiting list and such so on. she is truly depressed and ready to give up. she has a degree in pn and still needs to take the test but she has failed it once... she is now trying to get in the rn program...but waiting lists can go as least 2 years and by the grade on the entrance test can't knock her back for whoever scores higher... i suggested her to take a rest and do lpn work and then go back to school because being stressed and depressed isn't good for her health or making anything better...what advice should i tell her. are there any nurses who have had a stressful journey? anyone ever felt to give up? any suggestions? she has went from through 3 college in columbus ohio and back at one of them for the second time she has certificates in pc stna ma and soon (l)pn
