Was RN school easy for you?

PLEASE DON'T ANSWER IF IT WAS HARD FOR YOU.

I keep hearing about how hard nursing school is. Well, I know that, or everyone would go and pass! I need to hear some positive stories! Have you heard of Hypnobirthing? One suggestion is to block out the negative stories that people always offer up so that that doesn't become YOUR reality. Please share with me what you enjoyed about nursing school and HOW you made it easy for YOU!

Thanks in advance!

EV1518, I guess that would be my case! The same thing with prerequisites...

So far, could you tell pls how much time a day you spend AFTER classes?

I am still anxious about juggling my RN school, kids, and house chores ?

Well! Long story! I'm a federal employee. I applied for a scholarship that will allow me to get my salary but JUST go to school, yay! Anything federal is slow as hell, so yep...it hasn't come through yet and I'm still working, boo! I say that to say...There have been a couple days where I spent 2-3 hrs. But since I'm working and going to school, I'm tired as hell! So I'm not studying as much as I should be ? I can see spending at least 2-3hrs EVERY day so that I can get ahead, but right now I'm just barely making pace. I'm a momma of 2 under 5yo, so I feel you! My husband is being very helpful with watching the kids in the evening even though he's tired as hell too because he has to be at work at 330am! Things are nuts right now. I'm hoping things come through soon for me. I use a housekeeping service that comes through every 2 weeks and does the big things like bathrooms, dusting, and mopping. So I just worry about not letting things get too cluttered/junky. Definitely using the dish washer more than I used to!

I can tell you if you have kids make sure your support system is good. By the grace of god my mom helps a lot while I am in school and doing clinicals. Just got to work around everything. I usually take my son on weekends to McDonald to play while I study
