Burn out....????

Okay so I graduate in May and I'm starting to feel completely burned out. I've lost some of my enthusiasm and find myself DREADING going back to school after the holidays! I'm a good student with good grades and excellent clinical evaluations and I truly love nursing, but I'm starting to resent it. Is it just because I'm tired of school and ready to actually do my job? Or maybe it's because of my job as a PCT at the local medical college that's got me down? Not that I don't love my job but I hate being treated like an idiot by the other nurses. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? I know that once the end is upon me I will probably be just as stoked as the day I started, but I guess I just need some reassurance that this is norma :yawn:

    I think it's totally normal to feel like you do. I also graduate in May and I can understand your eagerness to start working for money (as an RN). Just hang in there and think positively. Whenever I start to dread going back to school, I start thinking that this is my LAST semster. This will be my last time registering for classes, buying books, having skills labs, having to write care plans, and mostly this will be the last 16 weeks that my family will be without my full attention. WE'RE ALMOST DONE!!!! Keep that in your head...

    I have to say that I am right there with you. I graduate in May also and getting through finals this December was like pulling teeth! I kinda gave up toward the end and only half-*** studied. Luckily for me, I am a good student and it didn't really matter in the end. I just can't wait to be able to call my life my own! I just want to work instead of work and school and family and.... We are almost there and we can do this!!
