Ever feel like you're running a marathon, day in and day out? As a nurse, I can attest to that constant push and the relentless drive it takes to make it through. I'm Lauren Chapnick, and I'll be your guide through this incredible journey. In my personal experience, the heart of a nurse is often fueled by an intense 'why' - a compelling reason that keeps us going when the going gets tough. My 'why' stemmed from a profound interaction with a kind nurse at the tender age of 19, a moment that propelled me towards this noble profession. 

In the world of nursing, one small act of compassion can make an immense difference. Everyday, we have the power to make a profound impact on someone's life, to be their source of strength and will to survive. We'll delve into this concept, and I'll share the strategies that got me through nursing school, including a simple yet effective habit - daily practice. Much like training for a marathon, this consistency can shape your mental and emotional resilience, helping you to face the big exam day with confidence. Also, I'll introduce my seven habits for sustained success in nursing and beyond. So, join us in this journey, and let's make a difference, one small act at a time.
