Is it hard to become a nurse? Yes. Will it be worth the effort? It will be. If you’re thinking about getting an associate degree or bachelor’s in nursing—or if you’re a working registered nurse (RN) who’s contemplating earning your graduate degree—it’s normal to wonder, “Is nursing school hard?”. Nursing requires more dedication than many other careers.

Nurses age like everyone else, and you may be a nurse who finds yourself getting older, with decreasing levels of physical stamina and less willingness to push your body to its limits. Slogging away at those 12-hour shifts makes for significant wear and tear, and maybe you feel it’s time for a change because that kind of strain is no longer compatible with your evolving health.

It’s Case Management Week, and I want to share a story about my first encounter with a patient, which led me to a career in case management. I first learned about case management in 1984 when I worked in Philadelphia in the Respiratory ICU. I was caring for a young woman who was diagnosed with advanced ALS. She was sent to the Respiratory ICU to have a planned tracheostomy so she could be put on a vent because her lungs were failing her.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years.
