Nursing school is not easy. You are inundated with material that requires hours of weekly study to master. It is easy to feel overwhelmed. No matter how excited you may be in nursing school, your motivation will likely ebb and flow. Some days, everything seems perfect. Other days, pretty much nothing goes right. Losing motivation then becomes a question of when rather than if.
Nursing school is difficult. Every semester, some students fail. There are many reasons for this. Ask yourself some serious questions. Were you overwhelmed with balancing school with work? Were you also taking care of your family in addition to school? Maybe you were struggling with all three: work, school, and taking care of your children.
