If you take this road , find one of us for help or to vent to and give you the pep talk to get through it , we've all been through it and have probably cried or attempted to quit it .

Tough, drill sergeanty instructors are good. I'd hope nursing students were being fed REALITY so they don't freak out and act stupid at a patient's expense. Wish education majors were treated to heavy reality too.
