Do you go out on the weekend?

Published

Hi everyone! quick question to all of you...do you stay home during the weekend or do you go out? I personally like having that downtime... to just take my mind off of all the stress..

I know some of my classmates who stay home...and study study study. I get the same marks as they do and i don't study as much (Staying home on a friday or saturday)

HI

I don't usually study on the weekend, but if I do its at night. I work and go to uni, so the weekends are for spending time with my kids and hubby. If a big exam is coming up, I will get in a few hours of study at night.

I too think you need some down time. I couldn't cope studying every spare moment.

I usually do not study on the weekends. Our exams are on Fridays, as well as care plans being due on Fridays. That leaves the weekends free to spend with my family. I may read over some material after the kids are in bed, but it isn't much. We all need a little down time. We deserve it! :)

I study on the weekends yes, but I also plan some down time to be with my family and once in a while go out with friends (once a month or so).

No, like most of my classmates I work 12 hour shifts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Do you mean go out drinking/partying? I don't do that anymore - I can't afford the downtime from being hung over! The last time I got drunk was a month before I started nursing school.

What is this "weekend" you speak of?

I don't go out. I have 3 kids 5 and under. My going out days are on hold for a while. I work Friday and Saturday nights. About once every 2-3 months I will go get a margarita after work with my best friend. After every 8 week class, my class goes out to celebrate. But we are down to 16 people now.... hopefully we still feel like celebrating

I usually spend my weekends relaxing, cleaning, or studying even though I find it 10x harder to study on the weekend than during the week! haha I occasionally go out on Friday or Saturday but it's pretty rare because I'd rather just sleep or watch tv :-X

I always end up spending time on studies on the weekends -- lots if there is a test on the following Monday or Tuesday. Next weekend is already set aside for writing a paper that's due the following week. I set aside time to spend with my hubby on the weekends that he's able to come visit, but even then it's usually just lunch or something like that.

I "partied" more during nursing school than any other period of my life. I guess it was just a way to cope.

Last weekend I went out and partied was New Years Eve. I do make occasional downtime on weekends like going to the mall for a couple hours or going out for dinner. The majority of my weekend though revolves around homework and studying, and sundays I'm at the hospital for clinicals. Counting down the days til spring break:cheers:
