just started another year of rn school and hope to graduate dec. 2011. however it seems sooooo far away. we have 3 pinning ceremonies a year. may ( traditional rn), july( lpn and accerlerated rn, and dec( traditional rn). i'm so happy for the future graduates and listening to all their talk about boards, and work. however, i can't help but to wish i was in their shoes. december 2011 please come !!! we are still in winter for goodness sakes. i don't even see a glimmer at the end of the tunnel.
ok vent over... back to studying for peds.

I also graduate in December and this summer break is going to be so hard...I just want to get done, take the boards and start working as a nurse already!
And, yes, it's so hard to hear the people graduating in May talk about graduating! I'm happy for them but jealous that they are almost done!

Really?? December seems soooo soon to me, the fact that im going to be a real live actual nurse in less than a year is so scary! Sometimes I feel like im just playing pretend :/ hopefully i'll be ready

On one hand, I am totally fed up with my nursing program and feel like clinicals at this point are a waste of everyone's time, so I just want to enter the workforce where I can really learn. On the other hand, I feel like nursing school so far has been nothing but a broad overview, therefore I am not really prepared for real-life nursing, and from that perspective, December is so close. Either way, it's gonna be a long, hard summer of tech work...

I'm going to graduate in December. I'm already mapping out my RN-BSN track and where I want to go for MSN. I need to look past December or I will go crazy waiting.

I graduate in December and I finally feel like I can see the end result of these past 4 years! However, I have senioritis REALLY bad! I am tired of the studying, and even though I like clinicals alright I feel i am ready to be a nurse and really learn. Instead of class 4 hours a day a few times a week i would gladly go 10 hours a day and get dome in a few months...tired of dragging this out!!! But hang in there, we will be getting pinned before you know it!
I'm hoping that time will fly !!! I enjoy working as a LPN so much that I just can't wait until I get RN so I can have more possibilities. I also plan to get BSN and poss. MSN. I just want that RN licensed. So between school and work time will fly. Good luck to you all.

I graduate in December as well. I go to a nights program and we have summer classes so by the time December gets here I will have done 10 straight semesters of school (a whole 3 years and 4 months!). I am SOOO over school at this point and ready to be done. We just got our summer and fall schedules and I felt like crying, ok honestly I DID cry. lol I feel like they're testing us...you only get to graduate IF you can live through this schedule. A few of the people that started are program switched over to the accelerated day program last year so they graduate in four weeks. SOOOOOOO jealous!

I am scheduled to graduate in December. LOL I have now decided to say "It'll definitely be before next June" just to cover my bases. ;-) But yes, December is the plan. ;-) Good luck to all of us!!

I'm graduating in December too. It is def time for nursing school to come to a close for a while and enter the work force. I need a short break before I start the RN-BSN track. I'm exhausted.
