Don't burn yourself out before even becoming a nurse. <br /><br />But also make sure you are at a place where you can stop and not lose all the hard work you have put into school. I know science classes are only good for 5 yrs and many schools will let you take up to 3 semesters off of nursing classes before they drop you from the program and you have to Prisca:https://www.blogger.com/profile/07735937193229633081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109135845547904320.post-3272371441897300922009-06-04T13:00:40.744-04:002009-06-04T13:00:40.744-04:00Oh boy do I understand!
