I'm prenursing but my semester has been going on for a while now. I'm knee deep in the hoopla and taking a final for one class next week.

I am exhausted already too... Only second week of school! First semester of nursing school, away from family and my fiance, so sad, excited, tired, busy. But we do what it takes to make it though! Here's to wishing everyone a great semester, we can make it through!

I'm overwhelmed but its a good overwhelmed. I love being busy, being on break for 7 weeks was torture ! I feel like I'm off to a good start and can't wait for the real work to start. My first day was monday and it was BORING, I just hate orientations. Tonight will be our first real class and I can't wait ! I'll first test is in two weeks and I look forward to it !

We're on week 5 out of 12 for this term. Spring break is coming up in less than 2 weeks and we'll have a week off... can't wait!!

All these science classes make my head spin. It's a testament to neural plasticity just how much trivia I can cram in there :D

I was overwhelmed with Maternity because of the amount of readings that I had to get done in a short period of time. I decided to not read the textbook, instead I got myself a straight A's Maternity, and so far, I am doing so much better. I would not recommend doing that for Med Surg courses.

Yep, I'm already behind on my reading, have a skills test week after next, as well as an 18 page care plan due week after next (& an exam next week) . . . I feel a bit insane.

i mentally prepared myself for the disciplined lifestyle i was about to endure from the moment i found out i was accepted for the adn program. i was ready for that change in my life and in fact loved the first week of school. that was until i was told that one of my loans fell through and i had no choice but to set up a monthly payment plan for school. now i am working full time, even in between classes, in order to survive. i actually am enjoying my classes and getting the material, but it is everything else on top of school that is making me feel overwhelmed. i am an emotional person as is, but now i am starting to feel a little crazy, and i think i am scaring my boyfriend a little :nuke: i just keep on reminding myself to see the big picture and visualize myself being a traveling nurse in new york, enjoying the fruits of my slave ridden labor:nuke::onbch:

Yes!

I was just coming here to vent and saw this. lol

I felt overwhelmed last semester, but it was cool. Right now though, I feel like I'm about to lose it. It's probably not a good thing when you're questioning your decision of becoming a nursing major on a daily basis. :/

Sleep deprivation, inadequate supply of nutrients, financial problems, and work overload just do not mix well together at all.

Feels good to get this out.

Glad to know my group and I aren't the only ones feeling this way. :p

Good luck to everyone.
