Sit the last one out? Mulling this over....

[NurseDaddy2006]

I have not missed any clincal days.

Others in class are talking about which day they're calling in because they never missed a day either.

One professor actually said she does not mind when students don't show, because it makes the day easier for her. This is not my professor, mind you.

Last time I did this semester, I got to the next to the last day and got the boot. I'm not worried about doing anything wrong this time, but I'm thinking that since I have not missed any clincal days, and it would not jeopardize graduation, that once I get through the next to the last day, I'll sit the last day out and call it DONE. Just for me, just for my own security, just because.

Think I should?

I had an OB class last semester that I thought about skipping the last clinical just because we never did anything. The last day we were there we seriously sat around for 6 hours and did absolutly nothing. I'm not being sarcastic. So if it's that kind of situation, go for it. I ended up not skipping though. But if you're lucky enough to be doing something worth while, don't skip.

I think you know what you're going to do. You're going to take it.

If you're going to be guilt ridden about it and not enjoy it forget it. Otherwise, take the day and relax and enjoy if that's what you want to do. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. But I think your mind is really made up to do it.

I agree with Tweety (when do I not? ) You ARE going to take it, so why are you wasting everyone's time with this thread? As you can see, ALMOST EVERYONE thinks you should bite the bullet and attend that last clinical.

I agree with them.

Barring the odd emergency, I can't think of a single thing you might do on that day that you haven't done a thousand times already, or will do a thousand times in the future.

Step up to the plate and quit whinning about it.

Michael,

I've been on this board, sharing my story, airing my issues, and pouring it all out for a long time. Anyone knows that I'm certainly one to step up to the plate and beyond. Whine? Me? Nah. Well maybe. Everyone's got their crap to go through, and everyone deals with it differently. But there are those that care, and those that dont. This post was replied to by a few that care. That's why I posted it. I knew I could count on hearing from those that care. Simple. I don't think I'm wasting anyone's time. Most people who are not interested skip the post and move on to the next.

Yeah, I'm going to the last day. I also know there won't be anything I have not done before, and if there is, I'll ask someone for assistance... even the professor. But that's not what my concern was, and I'm not gonna go into what the underlying reason was all over again. Timothy gets it. Tweety gets it too, I know. They've been here with me since the beginning, lending support. Thats what this board is for, support, not needling. But I'm still going.
