thank you so much..it is now that i've realized that I have focused on the financial aspects of my personal tortures..yeah,it really gave me a hard time..but there were a lot of other instances that I have not mentioned..and it all piled up on me like it's gonna eat me whole..unfortunately I haven't included them in this article..but it's okay..i think I have delivered what I wanted people to know..i guess it was enough..�

i enjoyed reading your story...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

thank you!i'm glad you enjoyed reading this article..well I enjoyed writing it too!hehe..�

I know exactly how you feel. I took my nursing boards 4 years after I gratuated from college. I was constantly telling myself that I had a better shot of winning the lottery than passing my boards. I finally told myself " the hell with it, whats the worst thing that could happen"? " I don't pass, I definitely won't pass not taking them" I can still feel those happy butterflys in my stomach when I opened that envelope. I was so excited it probably looked like I won the lottery!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Your story reminded me of how excited I was when I first became an RN. Congrats and may you have many years of enjoyment helping and healing your patients. God bless.

Congratulations!!! Your story made me teary-eyed. I know the feeling of not having enough money to pursue something you want so desperatley and feeling like you might have to give up. I seem to go through it every semester.Besides financial struggles, I also have a teenage son that will be home 4 nights a week without me (while I am at school/clinicals) and I feel guilty about that. But if I dont persevere, we will be in the same situation forever. I keep telling myself school is only temporary, and worth all the sacrifices.The moment you describe when you realized your 'nightmare' was a reality is one I hope to experience someday soon. Best of luck to you in your career!
