This is my second attempt at nursing school. First time I was a 19 year old with a few personal problems and started at the wrong time, on the wrong branch; I dropped out, feeling like a massive failure, before the end of the first year. Four years later I started again aged 23, studying to become a nurse for people with intellectual disabilities. I remember thinking on my first day “oh my god, I’ll be 26 by the time I finish this… That’ll never come round”. So, I turned 26 last Sunday, and I have 4 months to go. I can say that this is one of the best things I have ever done, it’s been really hard work but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, and I can’t wait!
How to graduate from nursing school
How I did it: i didn’t start out as a nursing major. so i spent 7 years as an
undergrad.. ugh.. finally i graduated from nursing school with a BSN!
the school days were a nightmare. a lot of times i just wanted to cry..
bad clinical experience, hard exams.. but i made it. And YOU will too! study hard, have some time for yourself (i traveled a lot), and vent to your friends. hehe….
People doing this are also doing these things:

I have been accepted to nursing school! I start this fall!!! So in 4 years I will graduate with a BSN! I am so excited!
So about a month ago I started to apply to nursing school. I am really excited!
Yea!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to pass boards, and move to the city to start taking care of ill little kiddos.
I’m in my final semester- the home stretch! I cannot wait to graduate. But then again, I can, because I am loving nursing school and all my friends, and I’m finally comfortable here, and the idea of going to work and doing the same thing day in and day out sounds like it could get boring. Then again, that’s why I’m choosing the fields I am, because of their variety. And of course I will have graduate school to continue to challenge myself part time (MSN/Nurse Practitioner program, 3.5 years part time).
... from nursing school! One of the best experiences of my life!
I am having a really difficult time getting motivated for this next exam which is in 6 days. I have to do well or leave the program. Leaving to go study now.
