Any advice on surviving last two months of accel nursing??

Published

Hi all,

I started an accelerated nursing program over a year ago at Delaware and I gotta say this year has been beyond stressful. I went in with a boyfriend (he later broke up with me), lost a grandparent to Alzheimer's, met a few guys, thought they would be great and they ghosted on me and never spoke to me again, and lost two of my closest friends (one from legal issues with her abusive boyfriend, the other from her not being there for me in tough times). This all happened on top of a heavy duty course load and I'm just feeling so exhausted, depressed and hopeless from it all. I want to meet new people and find something to look forward to while I'm still in school but I never have the time or energy during the week. I feel like I have no friends left but absolutely no time to make any new ones. My school is also very disorganized and doesn't tell us anything til the last minute which makes organizing my time really difficult. I also get the feeling that everyone around me is enjoying life (traveling, getting engaged, buying houses and cars, etc) and I'm just sitting in limbo waiting for my life to begin. I finish school on February 4th of 2016 and I guess what I'm asking for are some words of encouragement from fellow nurses. If there's anything positive you can say to me I would really appreciate it! Hugs xxxx
