I'm 4 months pregnant right now and engaged to the most wonderful guy...and I'm afraid that I would face the same stress again when i go back...plus I feel so disappointed at myself because I let stress take over me last year...my ex-classmates are graduating soon and that's kinda making me feel upset because I should've been in their shoes ....
Am I making the right decision in going back...??? How can I be successful in nursing school? Especially when I'm having a baby soon...
