going back to nursing school in 2 weeks is like going into the dreaded pit of ****

Published

i hate nursing school. not bc I hate nursing, it has nothing to do with that. I hate the EXTREME STRESS that comes with nursing school. i was in such shambles last semester, it was ridiculous. I think I cried every week! lol as did many of my classmates. what is the deal with nursing school being soooo ridiculously hard? Im convinced it doesnt have to be as hard as theyre making it, at least at my school. In any event, Ive relaxed back to my normal pre-nursing school self now but I know that when that alarm goes off and I have to get out of bed for that first day back into hell, Ill be miserable.

I start Monday with a 3 week break behind me! It went by scary fast...Not looking forward to the stress!!

I'm not looking forward to it either but for different reasons. The program doesn't bother me in the least. What does bug me are some of the people in my class that never shut up and also having to listen to both the teachers and students go on and on and on about how hard nursing school is, and that's all just a matter of perspective anyway.

The students that waste class time? The people who dont stop asking the dumbest questions that if they just stopped talking we would have gotten out of a 4hr class an hour early? lol yea im dreading that too!

Isn't it awesome that no matter where you go for whatever degree, there is always at least one person in class like this? It's annoying yes, but I try to see it as entertainment so I don't get upset. Cuz what's the point? I'm getting all mad and I'm sure the silly question person doesn't give a poop.

I started my third semester (med/surg) on Monday. It's a lilttle overwhelming looking @ the schedule for the next 10 weeks. We have clinical every week now and no more skills days. We've been off for 3 wks, it's going to take a few days to get back in the groove. Clinical orientation was very quiet today thankfully b/c most of including the instructor weren't totally with it today.

I start back in two weeks and am dreading it too! I can't even sleep at night just thinking about clinicals and how hard it will be. I will .be starting my third semester, and the worst part is I am on clinical probation so I make one mistake and I am out!:down: This is the most unsupportive program I have been to. It seems like all they do is threaten us with failing!:mad: I am trying to be positive, and just trust in God!!!!:)

Good luck, and know we all feel your stress!

:yeah::redpinkhei know exactly how you feel. the first semester was very stressful and the 2nd i was such a wreck that i could not even think or operate. i did not pass that semester. i took regular classes last semester and was reminded why i loved going to school and learning. i went to my doctor and got on some antianxiety meds. i hope it will help. i am back to semester 2 on jan 7. i loved the challange and the learning that i experienced. this semester with the meds, i think i will be able to retain the info better, sleep better, make my study time productive and be ready to continue in the program. i have my fingers crossed......

are you on antidepressants? i would have never considered it, except i was in school when i lost my daughter now 4 years ago and the doc put me on them to help me. i really believe it did help.

good luck to you. we are all in the same boat:nurse::eek::eek:

Specializes in interested in NICU!!.

i'm excited and nervous at the same time. i wil be going to level ii and thinking about it makes me feel butterflies in my stomach, lol. now i know that time management is key in ns. i know how i need to study and given that, i just have to be responsible for 16 weeks. i start school in two more weeks and i can't wait to see what my clinical rotation schedule will be like.

wish you all well!

I start my first semester on Monday. I was extremely anxious, but this forum really helped me relax and reassured me. I just need to not over the top freak out, because that just stresses me out. Breathe, relax, one day at a time. That's what I'm doing for the next 16 weeks. Good luck everyone...we'll be fine :coollook:
