What is the most challenging thing about attending nursing school?

I was just wondering what is/was the most challenging thing about nursing school. I have wanted to do something in medicine since I was a little girl. I went so far as majoring in Biomedical Sciences for my first two years of college. I soon gave up b/c I couldn't get a better than a b in ochem and calculus and I really wanted to be a dr and I knew that there was no way I would be accepted to medical school. It was very heartbreaking for me. I settled with a Psych degree. I'm now married and 2 kiddos later I am hoping to become a RN. Looking back on it I wouldn't want to become a doctor- a RN is a better fit for me. And actually after having my kids I am a more focused student. For me failure is NOT an option. I am trying to prep myself for a challenge. What for you is your biggest challenge with school?

The most challenging things for me was balancing school and family. Finding time for both and making time to give each the attention they deserved. Another challenge was reminding myself, when I felt I was in the boughs of hell :angryfire, why I began this in the first place . The best thing you can do is to remind yourself that this too shall pass and you'll move onto other challenges. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
