So I am currently ready to begin month 13 of a 15 month LPN program. Between going to school during the day and studying for more hours than any sane person should, I am limited on my availability to work. Though my grades are wonderful(my school uses ATI and I have yet to score below a level 2 on any of my proctored exams), I feel like my life is crashing down around me. I can't work like I would like to, and I live alone, so my finances are going to s%&$. I'm tired all the time(this time commitment will be the death of me), so I'm always questioning if it's anemia, depression, or if I'm really just that worn down. My cat hates me because I'm never home... Oh my God, my life sounds like a country song. Anyways, I know that this will all be worth it in the end, but I'm having just a little bit of trouble seeing the bright side of the situation. If anyone would like to share their story, give advice, or even just a little encouragement, it would be greatly appreciated; I know that I cannot be the only person who feels/has felt broken and defeated while in nursing school.
