I can only answer this question for myself, but would love some opinions. I am sooo stressed out. I am a new grad. LPN, for those of you that didn't know, and I am working on ADN. I have been going to school for a few years without even a summer break. I moved to an area I hate, because I have an aunt who offered to help with my child. Her help is at no small cost, she will tell me boldly that I owe her and I have to do things like scrub floors and run whatever errands she sees fit. I am not being ungrateful, but I am a single parent with a home, job, school, and no other support person in the area. I feel like I have to jump when she says to and I barely have time or energy as it is. Besides that I hate my job, and have found it virtually impossible to find another one in my area, especially one that works around my schedule. I have to work tonight and have a test tommorrow morning that I am to stressed to study for. I also have an email assignment due today that I can't send, I contacted my instructor for help Friday, and I guess shes busy since its a holiday and has not responded. when it gets this bad I think something is telling me to stop, but the fact that I've made it this far tells me to keep going. I am not 100% sure about my career choice to be honest, but I love it so far. I just don't know if its worth it right now. I am seriouly considering putting it on hold for awhile, there is nothing wrong with that. Except I will have to repeat half of the program. AAh that sounds like a nightmare. Wait, this is a nightmare, lol, and I will soon wakeup!!! Seriously though, I have been through worse, and its sounds silly that I'm making such a big deal out of this, but I am just really stressed out and unhappy.
