Published

Hi,

just wondering how everyone else feels. Today was my last day of my 1st semester of nursig school. I would think that i would feel less stress but i am still stressing. I have done well in my classes so maybe it is because i have not gotten my final exam grade yet, or the fact that i have soooooo much house work and dealing with my kids to catch up on, or is it the fear of what next semester will be like(wondering if i need to start trying to read more stuff now or what)!!?? i dont know but i am tried of stressing. Just wanted to vent and see how everyone else is feeling. :yeah::redpinkhe:uhoh3::clown::idea:

You NEED to rest. I would not start going over material until 3-4 days before class begins. If you don't give yourself time to rest you are going to burn out through the next semester

I just finished my first semester of nursing. This break before second semester starts is a good time to catch up on sleep. Sleep deprivation can make you feel more stressed.

I have 1 more final and then my 1st semester is over with. I have tons of catching up to do on kids, housework, etc etc as well, so imagine my surprise when I received and email from my professor for a class next semester giving us the title of the book we need to buy and yada yada. Only 5 more semesters of this! lol

My advice: RELAX during your break! You need it! Nursing school is stressful and a lot of work. Take the time to do things that you enjoy and do things that you don't really get to do during a busy semester. Don't worry about what the upcoming semester will be like. Focus on the present and enjoy yourself!

Bummer, I still have 2 hesi's and a pharmacology final to do next week, then 3 weeks off. I plan on relaxing for 1 1/2 weeks and then do the required stuff for next semester in that last 1 1/2 weeks.

I always have a hard time relaxing between breaks too. Yesterday was my last day of the semester and today I just don't know what to do with myself. I already have my books for next semester but I don't really want to touch them right this second....

I think I may clean, decorate my house for the holidays and catch up on some non-nursing related reading. Good luck to you during this break and I hope you can make it a good one!

I finished finals on Wednesday. Came home and took a nap. Checked grades. Watched a movie. Yesterday I took a nap, read a bunch of email, and watched a movie. Today I'm cleaning and decorating for Christmas. Tomorrow I go back to work and will work 40+ hours over our 4 week break. I don't plan to pick up my books for next semester until the week before classes resume.

I finished my last final for the semester yesterday!!! I am so tired. My house is a mess and I have loads of laundry to do.....but I'm still not going to do it just yet! LOL! I"m going to take a day or two and just be lazy. Next semester will be my last semester and I can't help but be nervous. I have the urge to start reading up on the material but I really need a break...... AHHHHH!!!
