Hi I am Gretchen. I am 35 yrs old,  and am a wife, mommy of 3 and a nursing student. I have been wanting to get my nursing degree for soem time now but finally everything aligned in my life and I am in school for my LPN....its a 10 mnth program and is very intense....we are 4 weeks in and starting clincals already. I go to school Mon-Fri and work weekends as an STNA......yeah you could say I am stressed!!! Nice to meet y'all and I welcome any words of encouragement

You can do it! Remember there is always someone that is worse off than you are.


If this helps.....my sister in law is in her last year of a 3 year RN program, has a set of twins in their second year of school and she works part time. She says that an anti-depressant and lots of coffee helps .

Watch or read some comedy helps with stress while in school or work.
