Sayin' Goodbye to Social Life

 "Sleep + social life = bad grades. Good grades + sleep = no social life. Good grades + social life = no sleep."-Unknown 

The number one thing that come to mind when I think of nursing school is no social life...

Now that I have been in nursing school for almost a month, I find that to be completely true.

   

I have been in college now for 3 years and I have been working at a part time job for the past year and half. Between working and going to school, I have slowly watched my social life disappear. I'm at the point where work is my only social time... I now feel like I have to quit my job and focus 110% on the nursing program. I don't want to have any distractions. Although I feel EXTREMELY overwhelmed going into the nursing program, I wouldn't trade it for anything! I keep hearing people say that you have no life during the nursing program, but there is a great life waiting for you after!

     

I'm so excited for this chapter in my life and it's so comforting knowing that we're all in this together. We are constantly supporting each other and experiencing similar changes that the nursing program is bringing into our lives. I think saying goodbye to our social lives is a pretty common situation that we all encountered in these past few weeks!
