My hard working friend.

You must be proud of her as your friend as she is a good example of a young people who really tries hard to reach her goal and do everything (rightly) to succeed. I have known people like her ,who moved heaven and earth just to finish school. Now, they are living in comfort because of a good job. Let us all pray for her, that God bless her each day to cope up and survive her journey towards a good future.

Hi...its really amazing what your friend does! She studies and works together! I can only do one at a time and work only in holidays, under a computer company this time! I never could see that its possible to do both together. I work to get experience. A salute to your friend!

Your friend is admirable Life may be a little (or a lot) difficult for her now but someday her hardwork and determination will be paid of. I hope you will continue being supportive to her, help her any way you can. Happy mylotting!

She's really determined,and I wish her all the luck too. I knew someone who also does same thing,studying and working and now she is having a good work after hard work and determination. She use to work with food chains and now she's still working with food chain,as a manager

Hiya TD, Elaine is very determined yes she is. I can´t think of how I would do that although I probably would but it seems difficult to manage. It´s nice to have a good Friend to relate to that thinks much like you do. Wishing her all the luck in the World and you to to be able to finish those studies with flying colours and honours. Many Students here are in the same problem as well. Now it´s a Holiday here well it starts tomorrow really and there are a lot of Students that will be working unbearable Hours in the Bars. They will make quite a bit of cash too but they have earned it for putting up with all they have to put up with like rude People, too much noise, music far too loud and too much heat as these Days are extremely hot here. The thing is now they want to pay them less for doing the same drudgery they want to halve the amount and I don´t think that is fair at all. How miserable can People get? I see it as drudgery because this kind of work that goes on for hours although it´s only nine Days it seems like forever and they are also not used to working so long. Fiesta for some and not for others but there is still cash to be made I hope. One of my Sons is working in a Bar all of the nine Days too.xxx Oh the Fiesta is called San Fermines (Running Of The Bulls). Really for me it´s just jealousy that´s all as they normally earn a fair amount but there will be so many People that need that kind of cash to keep going in what they are doing. I would never begrudge anybody that money I say good luck to them and all.

Hi! I am a registered nurse and i have graduated a long time ago. Well, nursing studies is difficult and critical. You see nurses handles life and in just one mistake of a nurse her patient will die. Your friend is a real diligent student i guess because she can work and she can still go to school. My only advice to her is to take her studies seriously,especially when she is already assigned in the hospital for her clinical exposure. The four-year nursing curriculum is a bit short of the knowledge and skills compared to the ones we had in our days when nursing was a five-year course and we spend all summer in our clinical exposures. I hope she would not fall asleep during duty hours. Lack of sleep can make a person prone to commit mistakes. Just tell her to study well and be careful in handling patients in the ward.

A person with the kind of determination that your friend Elaine has is a person that is definitely going to be successful in her life. In addition to that, working to become a nurse is a very noble career and it is the kind of career that it takes a special person to have. One of the things with working a night shift job is that there is typically a lot of down time where she can do some of her studies as well. I can't wait to hear from you that she has gotten done with the work on getting her degree.

I understand what your friend is going through for i'm going through the same process too. I'm holding 4 jobs at the moment, one full time and 3 part time. I don't have much time to myself because i need the money. IT's tiring, but as long as your friend can hold it, all the sacrifices now would be worth it in the future. She's young after all, and she can make it.

hi hats off to Elaine for her dedicated and determined working nature towards reaching her aimed goal .. and hats off to you for being such a supportive friend of hers... proud of you guys .. i will join with you in saying that she will surely complete her classes and come out of the institute with flying colours ... wish i could be like her ...

It's very good that you are so supportive of your friend. It takes sacrifice to work and go to nursing school. Been there and done that. I had some help from my parents and also had a child. It was rough but I made it.
