Anyone else totally overextended themselves this semester?

Specializes in Operating room..

I am working full time (OR Open Heart with major OH Call) and taking 8 credit hours with 4 great kids, and a sweet hubby who got reassigned at work at a way lower pay rate (STRESS). I am having a hard time studying, concentrating. At the end of this I hope to go on educationally (and hopefully get paid more), but it's hard to see that far ahead (just started back for my BSN). I usually don't get stressed but this is just crazy. :uhoh3: Plus Chemistry is kicking my bum...Anyone else?

You need to take it one day at a time. Anything is easier to cope with if you take it in smaller chunks.

I am feeling a little stressed these days myself. I am doing RN-BSN online and writing all these papers are stressing me out! Hang in there. There is an end in sight.
