To preface this post: I did not get a 4.0 nor did I figure out the key to ace every pathology/pharmacology exam. I’m only human. First of all, the fact that you made it into a nursing program is a feat of its own! Give yourself a pat on the back – you’ll need a lot of self-appreciation and self-love throughout this season of your life. And yes, actually making it to lecture was a feat of its own some days, and you can sure as hell bet that I treated myself with an iced latte when I did.
