Jillian’s favorite class was Psychiatric Mental Health 🧠

Her advice for nursing students:
“Nursing school will take everything you allow it to. Be selfish with your time and energy. Be intentional about who you surround yourself with and never feel guilty for choosing to relax or enjoying a weekend over cramming for an exam. You don’t need to be busy or burnout to prove you care. Protect your peace as much as your grades. Taking care of yourself now makes you a better nurse later. Just one step at a time.”
