Anyone completely fatigued? Vent.

I don't know what has come over me. All I want to do is sleep. Clinical days aren't so bad, but those lecture days... :o Then of course you have all the mid-year drama that probably should be expected. Things have gotten so intense between people that just this past week two people were suspended.One of the students has been written up previously because of a seperate altercation-but in that incident she actually shoved the other person. Yet she still came back. Another of our classmates was expelled the same week because she failed a subject by two points...wherein three others also failed that subject but are still there. In clinical two weeks ago I was put on clinical probation because my patient's bed was in high position unattended, but a CNA did it before I even went into the room. To make that situation worse-the teacher KNEW I didn't do it. It happened to three other students in the same day :angryfire During lectures this really obnoxious woman sits two rows behind me and spends her time talking loudly, passing notes, and talking about me and others in the class. :stone Wouldn't bother me so much if she hadn't started passing notes to my friend who sits directly behind me. Makes me paranoid, and now I don't fully trust my friend from fear that she is talking about me too.

I am feeling I am borderline expulsion myself now that the teachers are cracking down, because of my attendance- but I think I should be okay since I have not gotten an attendance probation letter. One of my friends withdrew because of the pressure she was getting from faculty to withdraw before they were forced to expell her. :o :o :o I am so ready for this to be over. The courses aren't really hard, clinical is fun but stressful since I haven't been in healthcare before. No, the real difficulty is dealing with this dread of getting up every morning, fighting the fatigue, and trying to ignore the drama.

Your posting brought back so many memories. Had class members just like that in my LPN course. A few instructors who are best not even mentioned.

Just take one day at a time and have one day a week with no school work. It works and in a few years time nobody cares what marks you got in the course only that you graduated and passed the BIG exam.

Unless you work in a very small town, you'll never see those people again.

And yes, LPN courses are hard work, time consuming, stressful. Anybody that thinks otherwise really needs to look into the coursework. Sometimes I think that RN students need a class on the eduation requirements for all of the other members of the healthcare team. Are they aware that units clerks require a certificate, that CNA's have a training course, what the Lab Techs go through to get loose on the public!

(((((((((((kiyasmom and everyone else)))))))))))))) Ugggg, I'm there too. All I'm doing is eating and sleeping and worrying. Apparently, everyone else in my class is interveiewing for like 100 jobs/week and getting them on the spot and I've been on one and it didn't go as well as planned. So now I'm jealous of my classmates and insecure in my interviewing skills......eeekkkk! Finals, BON paperwork, resumes, oh my!

Good luck to you all. You have made it this far. Christmas break is just around the corner. You can make it. Believe in yourself and concentrate on yourself and your learning. Good Luck

I'm right there w/you. I am borderline wanting to quit, quite frankly. This first semester is almost done...so we gotta hang in there. We are going to make some darn good nurses. Just pray.....that's all I constantly do. We aren't given more than we can handle. You gotta do it for yourself, and for your kiddos. (((Hugs)) to you Gabby...the semester is almost over.
