I'm so excited that I finally graduate the RN program in May. :nurse: After three long years it's almost over. :yeah: I'm excited, sad and scared all at the same time. How does everyone else feel about graduating and what are your future plans? I know I'm really going to miss my friends and I really don't know what I'm going to do with my free time. Nursing school was the hardest thing I have ever done and we should all be proud of ourselves for all we have accomplished.

i'm also going to graduate in may, but i feel like this semester is much more challenging (academically) than the others and i'm a little worried, but i try to stay positive because if other people can do it so can i :) i'm really looking forward to my preceptorship which is the last 4 weeks of school and i plan to work labor and delivery(so far, but it could change). I agree with you that nursing school is definitely the hardest thing i have ever done, but i know in the end it will be worth it all. I thought my first semester was the most difficult for me (not academically but i had a lot of issues related to the things nurses deal with) which almost caused me to dropout, but i'm glad i stuck with it. now if only i could press the fast forward button on this semester! oh well good luck CLASS of 2010!! :yeah:

I'm graduating in May, too! As far as future plans- I really hope there will be a job in the near future, haha. I'd like to continue schooling, too.

I know I will be crying like a baby when I actually graduate. I consider nursing school to be a huge marathon that's about to end and I just can't wait to be done and start life's next chapter. I just can't wait to be an RN already! I don't think I've ever wanted something so bad. I just can't imagine doing anything else with my life.

Specializes in ER, ICU, Medsurg.

Count me in too! God willing I'll be finally graduating in May. I remember when I first started this journey and 3 years just seemed so far away, now I can't believe its almost over. Looking forward to working full time as an RN at the same hospital that has been so good to me as an extern. Im sure that I will be crying also at graduation, its gonna be tough to figure out what to do with a book thats not a textbook

Yeah I feel you, its hard, harder than I thought. I am kinda focusing on that right now. I think the clinical instructor that I have also makes it more stressful than the other clinicals plus it's critical care... def scary, although that's really what i wanna do...

I graduate first week in June, so close lol. The only thing keeping me going at this point is counting down the days until graduation. Also have a trip booked to Las Vegas the week after graduation!

A vacation sounds great and well deserved.

I thought this semester would be easier, but our school made some changes for our last clinical rotation. They added a few presentations and a few extra APA papers. I keep telling myself I can do anything for 3 1/2 months. My personal life also has changed, my husband is unemployed now and I really feel the pressure to graduate and get a job.

I graduate in May too. Although I am very excited, this final semester is very challenging. I too am looking forward to my preceptorship in ICU which starts in May. I will be balling at out pinning ceremony as well as graduation but I thank God everyday for bringing me through this journey. I wish the best to all who are graduating in May, and to those whos journey is just beginning. KEEP YOU EYES ON THE PRIZE. :yeah:
