Ever since last semester, I have wondered if nursing is right for me. I don't know where it fits in anymore. School never fails to discourage me. Every time I pull together an ounce of confidence, something knocks it right out of me. I don't even think this is what I want to do anymore so why is God keeping me here? I have more questions that answers about my life right now. The only thing that I can cling to is the sweet words of my savior..."run the race with endurance...fix your eyes on Jesus...consider him so that you will not grow weary and lose heart"..."consider it a joy when you face trials...testing of faith produces perseverance".... "tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint"
Only God knows how this fits in to his plan. One day I'll see it but for now I will have to keep running this race called nursing school with my eyes fixed on Jesus. He holds the hope that I cling to when I see all that is wrong with this world. I know that my problems are so very small in comparison. I am going through this frustration now so that I "may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" and I can use what I learn to bring glory to his name. I just wish I could see the light at the end of this tunnel called nursing school.

Carole Ann, you can do it! You're right, nursing school seems never ending and does continually knock you down, but you're doing the right thing and clinging to Jesus and persevering. You are so compassionate, despite how nursing school tries strip it from you. You will make an incredible nurse, whether it's at the bedside or in a different area. -Aileen
