You all CAN do this!

I begin nursing school next week. Having said that, let me say that this is my second attempt (at a different school, of course). How in the world did you manage to be the President of the association, a peer tutor, and win all these awards, while maintaining great grades?! I applaud you. Just wish I could accomplish some of these things, as well!

Thank you for posting this. I know this was to all students in general but for a moment I pretended it was directed specifically at me. I start school in 12 days and I am so nervous I can't sleep. I have not been in a classroom in over 11 years so I feel like I'm 2 steps behind already. I have to find the confidence inside otherwise I will let everything overwhelm me. So thank you for giving me a boost today!!!! Good luck as you begin your career!

Thanks for the encouragement.20 more days....

Such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing:) I start in one week...

I seriously made this my life. I ate, slept and breathed nursing school. I didn't have much of a social life, spent my evenings and weekends stuyding. I can't tell you how many family functions and get together's I missed just so I could study for an exam or practice my skills for evals. I only worked about 6 hours a week. I was lucky in the fact that my fiance and I saved up enough money so I could finish this degree and he was the sole provider for the last two years of nursing school.

You all can do this!

Congrats! I am so glad all of your devotion and hard work paid off! And thank you for this thread and the kind words! I'm in my last semester of pre-reqs and ready to take this Nursing program on!

Thanks for posting! I think I might print this to refer back to when things get crazy.

Congratulations on the new job, too!

Thanks...really needed to hear your encouragment! I start an ADN program in the fall, and I've been feeling more and more anxious! Glad to know there is genuine hope! Thanks again! Congrats!
