Although there are plenty of stories of fear, doubt and discouragement in this journey to obtain a nursing degree. There are also just as many - if not more stories of strength, tenacity, patience and love. So we encourage our students to share those stories, in the hopes it will inspire you to realize you're not alone in your experiences and to hang in there just a little while longer.
