Right there with you guys... I am in my last semester for my RN. Appearantly all life stops other then school when you go for a nursing degree. So, I will kiss my wife and son good night and tell them that I will miss them and I will see them in 4 months. Mind you I am not leaving the state or even town. I will still be living in this house, but in order to make a better life for all of us, we are all sacrificing something. But like this forum, they will be there when I am done. Then I can put forth the effort to make their sacrifice worth it. Good luck to all of you that are going forth in your education. I will probably not be around here much either so I would appreciate you saving a stump for me as well and I will bring the celebration wine to toast our accomplishments.
