 Being in the health care field, we tend to others, but in the process we can forget to care for ourselves. As students we have added stress because we also have the pressure of exams, student loans, boards, and getting a job in an unsteady economy. If you are feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, or depressed, please seek help. If you do not know where to seek help start at one of these links:
