Becoming a nurse means signing up for lifelong learning whether you like it or not. If you are in nursing school for the first time, work mandated to finish a BSN degree, or pursuing an advanced practice degree, being in school is challenging and a sacrifice. After all, you are busy and may have a demanding job and possibly family obligations. Most people are stressed, and all this pressure can lead to a cycle of procrastination and distraction, which can lead to devastating consequences on your self-esteem, mental health, and even physical health.
