Just tired

[Zelda21]

I'm a junior in a BSN program, halfway through my second semester. I'm just finding how unmotivated I feel. Today was a complete day off from school and work and I just laid in my bed not doing a thing, which I should actually be studying for peds! I did poorly on my last med/surg2 test. I've fallen into a pattern where I am only looking at test material a couple days before tests, I'm not doing my practice questions. I passes my last lab checkoff but I seriously only looked at it a couple hours before I was supposed to perform it. I just hate even looking at my list of things that need to be done for school, not including stuff around the house. Its nice having it all wrote out on what I need to do, but I'm just tired and I don't think its going to get done today. Haha

BAH!! I'm not looking for advice or any sort of answer. I just needed to vent. It is time for a break. Time to re-group.

It's good to have a day off.

I was in your SAME position last semester. I was so so so burnt out and just plain tired! I was also stressed and nursing school in general was taking its toll on me. Truth is its not hard it's just soooo much to do. Due to my tiredness, I failed pharmacology last semester. I was so devastated, depressed, and hurt because I had no one to blame but myself. My advice is (even though you didn't ask for it haha) is to pull it together. Get your MUCH needed rest and you will be back better than ever! Trust me. That's why I failed pharm. I was so tired and studying nights before and doing labs nights before. Nursing school is all about dedication and time management. YOU GOT THIS! You just need a break! Trust me. Plus of course if you got accepted you are capable! Hugs! :)

I totally feel your pain! I was a second semester student this time last year. Honestly, each semester has had it's ups and downs, but second was the hardest. It was soo busy, not much downtime and jam packed with a lot of new stuff. We're still learning new stuff, but things are finally coming together and starting to make sense! Only 1.5 semesters to go for me, can't wait! You will get through this, just focus on smaller goals. One day at a time!
