School vs family
So, I am going into my second semester of an ASN program. I've known this might come up since signing but because my program doesn't give out clinical schedules until a week before the semester starts I was hoping it would work out.
My best friend of 30 years asked me to be her maid of honor in her wedding (been the plan since we were ten years old). The rub is her wedding is on the last weekend of one of my clinicals. Don't get me wrong this isn't a should I miss clinicals or the wedding because family is way more important than anything. That doesn't change the pit in my stomach about having to call out of a clinicals rotation after all the guilt the instructors put on us about it.
Has anyone else had to make this choice in their school career and if so what were the consequences and do you regret the choice you made?
