On point 100000% : Staying mentally active, participate in study groups , discover your learning style are essential. I'm 58 - This is so inspiring! Thank you! We CAN strike a work/school/life balance - it's not impossible! I couldn't do it without faith and Jesus and support such as yourself!

Thank You for the Encouragement!! 39 in the RN program. I’m struggling with the technology ex. All of my books are online, power points, quizlet, Chat GPT, trying to stay organized while learning these new methods🙏🏾

[@theunorthodoxnurse]

@latshagreer779 - I totally understand! It is a struggle at first but I'm confident in your ability to find a way of organizing that works for you. You made it this far and I know you can do it! Good luck to you on your journey.

I’m to slow to learn the things in my pharmacology class. I may have to drop the class. I don’t think I’m smart enough to be a nurse. I work 8 hours and I barely have any time to study in my pharmacology class. And I am not great in math at all. I’m not sure if I’m going to pass pharmacology. 😢

[@theunorthodoxnurse]

@kaylahood1000 - That sounds tough. I was sort of in the same boat as you. If it's not the right time for you because you may not have time to study, then there is no shame in coming back when you do have the time. I was also not great in math and pharmacology is a hard class. If you can, push through and do your best. If not, then it is ok to start again some other time. You learned how much time you'd need in the future for that class and you know where your weaknesses lie. Good luck to you.

It is hard and I you will be fine 😌
