From being a self-proclaimed diva to changing bedpans, Milan must learn how to cope with the challenges of nursing school. Janelle is a carefree soul, still living at home with her parents. She was ready for the ultimate college experience, hanging out, partying, and basically having fun.

Anna is thirty-one and settled with a supportive husband and a bubbly little girl. To make it through nursing school she is going to have to learn how to juggle her home, school, and love life. Her life soon turns into one big balancing act, with herself as the puppet in the middle. And finally, meet Toya, a serious young woman with a troubled past. She doesn't make friends easily and she likes her private space. She soon realizes that in order to keep her sanity and make it through nursing school she needed friends that she can count on.
