Anyone have a "Hell Week"?

Published

Specializes in Wannabe NICU Nurse.

I am SO happy to be done with this week. This week alone will be worse than my finals week. My brain feels "stuffed"!!! :bugeyes: This week alone I had 6 tests!

I had a 2 lab practicals, and 4 lecture exams, back to back this week.

I'm taking Microbiology, A&P II, and Dev. Psychology. Needless to say my Dev. Psych is online and I somewhat have a breather until Saturday.

This week my schedule went like this:

Monday: A&P II Lab Practical

Tuesday: Micro Lab Practical

Wednesday: A&P II Lecture exam

Thursday: Micro Lecture Exam

and

Saturday: Dev Psychology lecture exams

I'm so happy that I have finished this week, I made it through the storm! I made a 100% on my A&P practical, and 94% on my Micro practical...I have yet to find out what I made on my other tests. Hopefully I won't have to take my A&P II final, as long as I made an A on this last exam, I will already have an A average and there will be no need for me to take the final. That will be a weight lifted off my shoulders so that I can just focus on Micro.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A DIFFICULT WEEK THIS WEEK, OR HAVE ONE COMING UP WITH FINALS? WE ALL NEED TO HANG IN THERE!!!! :lol2:

OMG YES! This week was so stressful! Thankfully, I'm done with classes for the week. Next week is finals week...but I'm honestly not worried about those. This week was wayyyy way worse. Tomorrow is my last day at my job....since I start NS in less than a week and a half now! :) I'm sure with the stress of work alleviated, next week will be a piece of cake.

It's kind of nice knowing I am not the only one who felt completely bombarded this week with schoolwork and such. Congrats on all the wonderful grades! I finished all my science pre-req's last year ... so thankfully I didn't have anything regarding science this week. However, I remember all too well taking chemistry and microbiology at the same time....it was stressful for sure! Good luck with finals, I'm sure you'll do awesome since you made it through this week of "hell" as we have called it. haha! Have a great weekend! :) :wtosts:

I had a tough week too, but not as stressful as yours it sounds. I had a human sexuality test, and a human sexuality final exam. In addition, I had a nutrition exam, and had to prewrite to essay questions at home. My youngest went back to school this week for the first time since he broke his back on Dec....and I missed him lol. We are fixing up the house, and have fence people in the yard all week banging, and sawing away (noise, noise, noise). I did find out on Monday that I was excepted to the nursing program I wanted in Aug...very excited. I have also now went 24 hours without a cigarette and I really want one. Not to mention its that time of month. Thanks this has been a nice vent lol.

Oh yeah...I had a very large exam on Monday....a 4 Chapter Pharmacology exam today that I NEEDED a good grade on in pull myself out of failing range (long story on that...and I was successful, btw :) ).

I also had an ATI for extra credit, and we could have a minimum of 15 extra credit points, and I managed to do 10 :)

I have an exam next Wednesday...my Pharmacology comprehensive final next Friday with the final in nursing the following Monday.

YUP....I'M SO TIRED I'M "TARD"

Not this week for me. I did have a similar week like yours except that mine was straight physiology, not A&P, and I had a statistics test to boot. I got A's across the board, though.

Now Hell Weeks look like: Care plan due on Monday, Pharm test on 3 chapters by Sunday, Patho test on 3 chapters by Sunday, 2 days of clinicals, communications paper due by Tuesday. And that's a pretty typical week.... Oh, and all the while keeping in mind that we have the ATI exam for fundamentals and pharmacology at the end of the semester.

In two weeks, though, I will have officially survived (and largely thrived) through my first semester as a nursing student.
