Feelings of Impending Doom about Graduation!

[Annointed_RNStudent]

To All Graduates in the next couple of weeks like myself, is there anyone here that is feeling just like something may go wrong and keep you from graduating. I have been having nightmares about something just going wrong or some instructor just deciding that they dont' like me and just fail me for something. I am # 2 in my class with only two test left, and It would be very hard for me to fail, but I am just scared that something is gonna go wrong? Anyone else feel the same?

I'm prepared if something goes wrong and I fail...I just repeat my class next fall..it's only a delay for me and not a big deal, however I would really like to pass & graduate with my class on May 17th. Since you are #2 in your class, you are worrying way to much! Have a stress-free graduation!

Your paranoia will keep you from messing up.

Your paranoia will cause you to mess up.

I also have a feeling of impending doom :uhoh21: as I am also about to graduate. To make things worse a class mate was just kicked out for clinical issues a week ago, so now we are all paranoid!

I also have this feeling. I think because it is something I have worked so hard for. I just can't believe I am almost done.

Good luck to everyone and we will be fine!!!!

Happy Pinning and Graduation :-)

I kinda know the feeling...I didn't graduate on time...something went wrong a week before graduation day--was lacking some requirements. But it was a blessing in disguise--had i graduated on time, i would've taken the June '06 Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam...y'all know what happened...it was really sad. I took the local boards in December '06 (the fuss cleared by that time) and I passed.

You see, I was one of the lucky ones. My misfortune turned into a blessing. Things happen for a purpose.

I sulked a bit but I stayed positive til the next graduation schedule...it wasn't so bad graduating in October.

And hey, with the upcoming graduation preparation and all, you don't need the extra stress so don't worry so much, ayt? G'luck to ya!

I think its pretty normal. I had terrible anxiety that I was going to be killed in a car crash right before graduation. Good news is that it was just a manifestation of my stress because I passed and am here to tell it. Good luck!

Good luck! How many in your class this year in Laconia? They don't have the same reputation as Concord, who like to kick out/fail 1/2 their nursing students. I've heard Laconia will pass students anyway despite low test scores or clinical practices!! Hope all of your class is SAFE to practice at least.

Ok, I guess I can fess up. Sometimes I think I will go through all this and then fall dead the day of graduation or something and never work as a nurse.

I am a B student now, and I have a final exam left to take. I am so afraid that I will mess up the final so bad, that my grade will go below a 75. I calculated that I will have to make a 40 to fail the class, but you never know what might happen. That would be horrible.
