I just thought I would share something one of my friends said to me the other day when I told her I wanted to go to nursing school. No, she didn't say that she would never do that because it was too hard of work or that it was demeaning, but she said she would leave that to the SMART people !! She felt she wasn't smart enough to go to nursing school. Now how's that for a switch !! While it made me feel bad for her, it really made me feel good to know that she knew nursing school was serious business !! Just thought I would share - kinda encouraging !!

I know plenty of people like that, and the nursing schools I have looked into are very competitive. There may be a shortage of nurses, but schools certainly aren't lowering their standards. It's a good thing, but I'm still waiting to find out if I made it into the LPN program at my school. Waiting a year to find out if you are smart enough to take nursing classes is mentally taxing and I wish they could tell you if you are in or not faster. I only have two months left till I find out if I'm in or not though. Two months is too long.
