Hello! I'm 18 years old about to start my first year in college in less than 1 month! I've dreamt of being a nurse since I was a little girl and it's all that's been on my mind lately! I'm just very concerned because I know that there is a lot to learn and I've become slightly discouraged due to the fact that I was a B student in high school.. I didnt have this beautiful 4.0 gpa all throughout high school.. But I know that if I put my mind to this and I work harder than ever I can do it. Someone please tell me that not every nurse was at the top of the class in high school? Can an average student become a nurse? I'm determined. Were any of you an average student? What did you do to step up and have your dream job?
