Never Give up
I started the grave yard shift as a CNA sitter on the psychiatry unit as a single mother of one while attending LPN college full-time during the day for a year and a half. It was pretty stressful to the point where I started loosing my hair. While attending school, I found out that I had a blood clot in my lung and to top it off I was already diagnosed with lupus.My nursing program was an accelerated program. Missing classes was not an option. When i found out that I had to be hospitalized I was in tears.But I was so determined to achieve my goal that nothing was going to stop me. My daughter brought my nursing books and I studied every day during my hospital stay when I was not sedated or pain free. I checked in with the school via phone for assignments daily.The director of the program advised me to rest and not to worry. After I got home I went back to school but i was not fully recovered. I still tried to sit through 8hrs of class and slept through my lunch break. I graduated on time with my classmates.
Nursing school is tough, but if this is really what you want you will put your all into it. I have had my moments where I wanted to quit. It is very rewarding at the end. If I can do it despite everything you sure can too, and become a professional.
Don't let anything stand in the way of your goals, your blessings and your success.
