What do you so to relax from nursing school?

[Dancingqueen94]

Hey everyone! So I start nursing school on Monday and I am SO excited! I just want the weekend to fly by so I can finally get started! Anyways, I always hear everyone say it's important to have some time to yourself to relax from studying from nursing school, so I decided to buy a book about the Robertson family from Duck Dynasty to read to relax. I thought I would be a fun break now and then from the stress of nursing school :-) What do you guys do to relax?

Right now I am drinking some wine and watching tv. I srarted nursing school last Monday and I have class 4 days a week. I started a new job this weekend, today actually. I will only be working weekends, but after trying to look at my notes earlier, after being at work all day, I decided to have a glass of wine instead! To keep my sanity, I think I am going to try to get all my studying done during the week. This way I can relax on the weekends after work. I wont make it going 24/7 with 0 downtime. Im exhausted and its only been 1 week!

I read. Not textbooks but anything else. I also take Saturdays off after clinicals. I have clinicals Saturday from 6:30 until whenever and after that, I do NO school work. I work 40+ hours a week and have class two evening a week. I'm in the library everyday after work of I don't have class and Sundays is spent working on clinical paperwork and reading for the week. So Saturday is spent catching up in my tv shows or starting this Saturday, watching college football!

YES there's a TON of reading already involved in school just a forwarning...you may eventually reading "for fun," tends to decline

I get a massage every 2 weeks and also go to the gym as my clinical starts Monday so I plan on still doing this things I just take it day by day anymore and it's to much.

Bravera, it is NEVER a shame to catch up on Korean dramas, they give me a warm feeling to go on to the next hard class. Enjoy them.

Anything and everything I can think of! Yoga, run, meditation, bubble bath, bottles of wine, CrossFit, etc. It all really depends on what there is time for.
