Crenfro you are in my prayers. I will ask St. Alexius, along with St. Agatha to help you with your studies.
There are up to eight (!) patron saints of nursing. You’ve got loads of Heavenly help!

I have confidence that you can complete the degree. You’ve already achieved the hard part, that RN. You don’t have to aim for ‘perfection’ in that difficult class just completion.

(Or as my Engineer dad said when I was struggling with College Algebra , “Show your work! Partial credit adds up!”

)
Family, like many people in general, sometimes just don’t ‘get it’ when we struggle. Unfortunately we may hope and sometimes expect better treatment, but too often other people fail us. Including family. The only one who won’t fail us is the Lord. Ask the Lord for some encouragement, it might surprise you. It could come from a comment of one of your current patients or a random news story.
Also, maybe you need to let your friends and family know you need some help. People really can’t read minds, and many times don’t know what you want by way of help. Maybe they would want to help when they know you want it. People often think “nurses” are competent. They are, but they too can use a kind word or a little extra compassion too! My mom was an RN for over four decades. I witnessed first hand how nurses pour themselves out in caring for others.
We are told to ‘Ask’ by Jesus. Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. "
Don’t listen to discouragers. Nada.
Also don’t forget to ask your Guardian Angel for help while you work on your assignments and struggles and when you are tending to your patients. You are his patient!
