Did it drive you crazy? What types of feelings did you have? Today was the last clinical day of the semester, and I have so many different emotions. I'm scared, anxious, worried, somewhat excited.......it could go on forever. It has only been these last 10 weeks that I have been feeling this way. I have only the spring semester left before I graduate. It feels as though I have been chewed up and spit out. I guess I am just wondering if other people had similar feelings.
I talked to my mother about it and she told me "Sami that's why not everyone can be an RN". I feel like I could cry over little things and I feel so much LESS confident than I did during the 1st 2 years of the program. The first 2 years I had straight A's, now I have B's - which I don't care, but deep down it's like.... my best isn't good enough now. I put my ALL into this, and it's draining. very draining. And then I wonder if I will be the competent Nurse I imagined myself being 2 years ago

dear sami
you will be a great nurse...because you can feel all those emotions so intently, you have the ability to question yourself and all around you. I know this because nursing school damn near killed me...and i turned out to be a really good nurse...when my bleeding ulcer healed LOL ,,you will too. welcome to a wonderful,,tough,,important..rewarding and vital career....

Nursing school is awful. People think it's just like taking normal college classes and it isn't at all! I easily spend 40 hours on nursing school during the week, including two full work days at the hospital (free help for them) on my feet and working my butt off, yet only get 10 college credit hours?! Who made up THAT rule???? It's been so stressful I get severe GI symptoms.
You can't ever make decent grades in nursing classes. I was all A's and a few B's until n.s. then I got 4 C's in a row! I work like a dog on it and still barely get by. It isn't a question of not being smart or not working hard or not having what it takes to be a good nurse. While part of it is training and teaching there is also a lot of competition and a trying-to-make-you-fail that I dont' understand.
It is terribly draining and you have been chewed up and spit out. Anyway, I could go on forever, but just know you're not alone-and we'll BOTH be graduating in the spring!

I have to be honest with you. Its different for everyone, maybe its your true calling in life but nursing to me is a stressful career. I thought about that and how I didnt want to have peoples life in my hands because I can get easily distracted and forget to go the littlest life saving things!? Who knows? But if its really that draining to you are you sure theres not another career that you would really rather follow? I would give it some serious thought. Maybe your hearts not in it all the way as to what you feel it should be truly and thats making you feel guilt and all kinds of crazy emotions drawing off of that. Good luck!!

all the above. i'm interior an analogous maximum suitable place you're in acceptable now; graduating in could '07, had directly A's, now have a pair of B's. i think of you will ask your self your self interior the tip. you would be totally arranged and functional once you graduate. Your mom is physically powerful, if it have been ordinary, there does not be a nursing scarcity.

You should be proud of what you are going to accomplishments in nursing. That is a very good goal. Good luck.

I dunno but if you feel like you don't want that profession any more, change! Its never too late to pick a new career path.
