Not socially but in every other area like yeah. Plus I feel like trying to be a new adult rn is so impossible and everything’s in flux all the time. Stability isn’t a thing unless I’m home and home feels like I’ve made no progress ever

I think it happened to most of us, yeah, I’ve put a lot of work into trying to compensate for it but that’s left me with weaknesses in other areas

Eh, there are lots of people who take five years to graduate or more when there’s stuff going on. I’d encourage you to try to finish stuff up when you can though, and the money you save on not doing more years can be used to ease your time into figuring out next steps
