[AOII Angel]

I'm a physician, but my mother and sister are L&D nurses. I was actually my sister's roommate while she was going through nursing school. It is tough! My medical school experience was much more pleasant (not from a degree of difficulty perspective but from a basic human dignity perspective!) My sister had a really tough time. Her professors loved to demean their students. One of my favorites was a professor that several times admonished my sister to stop thinking like an LPN! After her experience, I was terrified of how I'd be treated in medical school, but was surprised to find that I was always treated with respect. My advice is to go into nursing school with a thick skin!
