It is hard to believe that another year is coming to an end. At times I feel like I am still stuck in and processing 2020, but we did it. We made it through another year of graduate school, another year of nursing, another year of this life while continuing to combat a global pandemic. I am thankful for a sense of normalcy through the GNSA, our graduate nursing student community, and the wonderful resources we were able to access this year:

Register to attend next week’s webinar, Preparing and Strengthening Your NursingCAS Application, on Wed. 12/8, from 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm (ET).

Spring 2017 was one of the most challenging times of my life. I was in my second year in the DNP program at Georgia Baptist College of Nursing and was forced to take a break to recover from a near-fatal car accident. By this time, I had already faced the stressors of my toddler's hospitalization and two family member deaths. I truly felt all signs were pointing to, "Just quit already."
