Hey everyone,
I'm heading into Nursing 3 Sept 5, my final year, woo hoo!!!! Graduation is set for May 17, 2008 :balloons: and I can't wait!!!
But......... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared :uhoh21: or worried . The summer break, much welcomed after that semester ended this past May, was brutal in the respect that I did nothing over the summer to prepare for Nursing 3 . I had every intention of doing it , but, as the summer days went by, nothing got done. Now, here I am a couple weeks before school starts and I'm really panicking :uhoh21:. The good thing, all my fellow classmates state the same thing, no one did a darn thing all summer, lol.
It just seems so inconceivable that at the end of May, we'll be preparing for the NCLEX and we'll be real nurses. We won't be able to go into a hospital room and say, "oh, let me get the nurse..... wait, hang on, oh, that's right, that's me now". Scary stuff! But, I can't wait. I just wish these jitters would go away. Its worse now than it was when I was heading into Nursing 1 this time last year. I think its because I know what I'm heading into whereas last year I had no clue. Its like when I had my first child, I didn't know how bad things can get, then when I went in to deliver my second child, I knew for sure, things get a lot worse before it gets better, and your anxiety is hightened because of your knowledge. Does that make sense?
Anywho, who else is feeling "anxiety" heading into their final year or just heading into a new semester? Let's share......... Good luck to all!
