How can I keep a work/ life balance within the Counselling/Community services industry?

I am due to start a dual diploma in Counselling and Community services, I am a very people orientated person, however at times I find it hard to "switch off". Due to varying/changing hours in the industry/PCP/Best care etc I'm just interested in the typicals of when/where/how etc people in the industry take time for themselves/wind down. Thanks in advance. :) #mentoring #counselling #community-service #disability

I'm graduating from college in a few months with a 2.6 GPA in Bachelor of Arts in Biology. I've decided to try to go to Nursing School at this point. What should I do to increase my chances of getting in? Is it likely that I would be accepted?

When I graduated from high school I set my goal to go into dentistry. Throughout my undergraduate years I've struggled with keeping my grades up. The main reason why is because after seeing how much I struggled with just passing my first semester of college, I immediately started doubting that I was smart enough to make the right decisions as a doctor, learn fast enough to get through school, or even be competitive enough to get accepted. After my second semester as a freshman I was sure of it (after doing so bad in General Chemistry) and changed all of my classes for the next semester to basics so I could change my major and do something else. But as I was looking at different majors I felt guilty of leaving Natural Sciences not because I wasn't interested in it (which I definitely am) just because I thought it was too hard; and all of my friends and family were persuading me to stay in and just work harder. So I decided to be more optimistic and stay in. Things got a little better, I was studying more and being more optimistic but my grades were never where they needed to be. And after awhile of telling myself "This semester I'm going to get awesome grades!" and then ending the semester with B's and C's I started to feel like a failure. So the motivation to keep trying soon dwindled down to just trying to graduate on time, which is why my final GPA is going to be so bad. Anyway, after talking to my significant other (who is doing awesome in school and is going to med school; succeeding in everything I planned to do with great ease) I realized that it's not that I'm stupid, I just keep doubting myself and letting the success of others make me feel inadequate. And to be honest I've never actually studied as hard as humanly possible to get my grades up and I've never actually failed a class which says a lot about how I don't know my true potential. And most of all, I don't have any motivation because I lost track of my goal. So I'm ending my undergraduate career with a goal in mind to get into nursing school (my Plan B just in case Dentistry didn't work out). Because my GPA is so low, I know I'm going to have to take a year or two off to become more competitive (getting in some shadowing or an internship and taking extra classes at a community college to improve my GPA) But does anyone have any advice on what I specifically need to do? Or should I even try to make this happen? Or maybe just some advice on how to stay mentally strong when I feel doubt? #nursing #registered-nurses #higher-education #counselling
