The last week of school was sooooooooo long, (3 test, then 2 finals) I couldn't wait for break to start.. Now a week into break I can't wait to go back to school.. For the 4 months I have lived and breathed school. 14-16 hours a day, never enough time for anything, or anyone and now I just feel lost. I have all of this free time on my hands and I don't know what to do with it, besides review NCLEX books. BF works all day, daughter works or hangs w/friends. I have lost touch with most of my friends to now it almost seems that we have nothing to talk about anymore. (For crying outloud! Its only been 4 months). I imagine that by the time school over, I will have to find all new friends lol.

Its like I have been telling myself all along that "Its only a year, and then things will be back to normal" I think that this break has made me realize that NS has became the "normal". Anyone else feeling this way?

nope! lol

I have really been questioning going back at all, although I will of course. This has been THE most stressful 5 months of my life and I am not at all looking forward to ANOTHER stressful two semesters. I've seriously started to consider withdrawing my application to the LPN to RN program that I'm slated to start after LPN school is over, because I am SOOO tired all the time, and stressed, and fighting with my family and everything. I've cut back on my work hours at the risk of losing my job and am just now after two weeks off of work and school, able to start seeing clearly. Maybe if all I had to worry about was school I'd be having a blast. I'm sure I would. I actually love the challenge of school, but combined with all the other things I have to do in order to make it work, (three kids age 14, 3 and 1 - oldest homeschools out of necessity until we can afford to move to a safer school district, part time job an hour away at a great hospital) well its just about broke me. I've been horrid to my husband and I feel really bad for it. My temper is short when I'm tired and I've been exhausted constantly since school started. All vacation I have been going to bed at 8pm (putting my youngest down to sleep and falling asleep with her accidentally or falling into bed immediately after). I even went to the doctor because I have been SO exhausted and eating so much and he told me basically to suck it up, stop eating and have some coffee because I was fine. :(

So no, let my vacation last a few more weeks please. :D

ScorpioStudent, WOW, You Poor Dear... Don't give up.... I know you can do it! We are all right here cheering you on!.

See my BF and daughter have totally spoiled me and they have just taken over my role in the household, since I have been in school, so now that I am off, Im not needed.... Believe me I am very greatful that they are so supportive of school, and allow me to just be devoted to NS just right now I am really just bored...

I hear ya. I do miss the mental stimulation, just not so much the crazy deadlines and sleepless nights, lol.

I can't WAIT for Spring semester to start! I just finished pre-reqs, and get to start the LPN program. I'm so psyched! I just hope I can maintain this enthusiasm for the whole semester!

I admit I have been pretty bored as well. I have 7 weeks off from school, and on going on my second week off from work. I do try to read at times, and I plan to start making drug cards and study guides once I start back at work ( so I won't be too bored AT work. I'm trying very much to enjoy this bordem... I know that last semester, there was no time to be bored. I had no life while in nursing school. Working full time, church, theory, and clinicals ! Ahhhh ! just the thought of how busy my schedule is going to be drives me nuts !
