That's awesome!! (by the way, my name is Becca and I get called "Becca Boo" so I'm lovin' your username!!)

Yay! Congratulations to you two, and best of luck!!! That reminds me, I forgot to add that I am thankful that nursing school will end one day

Hello everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! Let's face it - nursing school is one heck of an experience, but it is an experience I am so extremely thankful for. What in nursing school are you thankful for? I personally am thankful for my support people, my amazing instructors, my wonderful classmates, for each an every learning opportunity I have, the good grades I earn, and for the opportunity to be a nursing student and eventually a nurse! I'd love to hear what you are thankful for, and/or some cheerful stories you may have (while keeping HIPAA in mind, of course)! Happy Holidays!!

Thank you for your responses! It always helps to be reassured. I definitely need to drop my unrealistic expectation of perfection out of everything and everyone! I am doing very well in nursing school thankfully, but have learned quickly that nothing in nursing school is perfect (duh, right?). I have had kind of a rough past so I know life isn't perfect or easy, so maybe I'm trying to make up for the past now....? Regardless, it has to stop. I am glad to hear that others have gone through this and have made it. I just need to relax and take the punches as they come! Thanks again all! I appreciate your responses!

Haha "in a time when nothing can be perfect" - so true. Thank you for your wise words!!

I forgot to add: Its not that our relationship is bad - I want it to get better and he thinks I'm just stressed and being a little melodramatic - and I do tend to be on the perfectionist side of things as well... Which doesn't help. I do not like it when things aren't 101% perfect. But he is positive things will get better after I graduate. Thoughts?

Hey everyone! (I apologize if I am not posting this in the correct spot or manner, I am new to the site! Feel free to give me tips if I'm doing it wrong :) ) I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there like me. I got engaged to my high school sweetheart before I started nursing school. Our relationship had been pretty much perfect - but not anymore. I'm cranky, I find fault in everything he does, I have no sex drive, and it's like I'm losing interest in the whole relationship. Is this just a side effect of nursing school that will resolve? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what can I do to make it better?? I have tried lots of things! Thanks in advance everyone! Happy turkey day!
