Sarah’s Answer

All of my nursing classmates faced challenges while becoming a nurse, including myself. Financial, childcare, and time management were just some of the many challenges I faced while becoming a nurse. Challenges are possible to overcome. Achieving your goals and dreams does not happen overnight, without challenges. I overcame the challenges I faced with the support of my family and nursing classmates. It took me over 6 years and 5 different colleges to graduate nursing school. I worked most of the years part-time as a CNA and as a substitute teacher. Time management is something we all must learn how to do no matter what job field you enter. Setting goals and due dates helped me managed my time as well as doing what was a priority first. If I had a project due in a month I would work on it as soon as I could, however, if there was a paper due in three days.... that of course was my priority.

Sarah recommends the following next steps:

Have a good base and support structure laid out prior to enrolling in courses. If childcare or finances are an issue before enrolling in college.... they will still be an issue while in college. It is best to have a plan so you can focus on your courses and reduce the stress :)

Barry Eugene’s Answer

Before you begin, please remember that nursing school will demand a significant amount of time. While in school, you may have to make sacrifices. Life does not stop. I find that many nursing students are balancing their education with families, their careers, health issues, decreased income, and personal tragedies. Although, these challenges may seem overwhelming, completing your nursing education is possible. Sometimes it may take a little longer than originally planned. The important issue is to plan, make major life adjustments (your social life may go on hold). It is always good to have anticipatory thinking, be flexible, and remain organized as possible.

From a personal standpoint during my initial education. I experienced many of the things that were listed in the previous paragraph. Your fortitude will undergo testing. Having a good support system will help you navigate through any challenges. Best wishes to you. Be encouraged because you and everyone reading this message can do this.
