Was the struggle worth it to get where you are today as an RN?

[RN2Be77]

I know so many of you on here had various struggles to get where you are now whether it was just the first steps of getting into nursing school (fighting through denial letters and finally getting one that said accepted); sacrificing everything under the sun (family, jobs, life); staying in the program (wondering if you are cut out for this work); and then finally graduating, passing the NCLEX, becoming an RN and landing your first job.

I just want to know if after all the blood, sweat and tears, are you happy where you are today as a nurse (if you are unhappy too please be honest and tell us why). Would you do it all over again? Share your story and encouragement with us!
