UGH...six more weeks for me...

I have it baaaaad. This is not only the end of the school year, this is the END. When I take my last final on June 5th, I will have achieved my degree and be done with nursing school. And I have to FORCE myself to go to class, to write the *&^%% papers, to study. Sigh. The only bright point is the practicum, where I'm actually at the hospital with real patients. That part is still fun.

But how will I survive the next six weeks?!?!?!?!

That is too funny, it should be published in the Nsg Dx book...everyone would get a good laugh, and who don't need a good laugh in school. I just finished in Feb and have never been so glad something was over in my whole entire life. It was kinda sad too, not seeing everyone everday that you went to school with everyday for 2 years. Life on the outside is very good. Took the Nclex yesterday and took 75 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll take all I can get. There were some semesters where I just wanted to quit but I kept thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel and before I knew it, it was there. Don't ever let nursing school beat you up, you've gotta beat it. Hang in there, it's almost over.

Nusring school beat up on me good today. I'm in my first semester and today I failed my final skills test. Yeah, I can take it again but it's just making me so angry. :angryfire I would have understood if it was something important but it really wasn't. I was to instruct a pt how to use an ice pack and how to use a cane. I did everything beautifully and was really excited to be all done and felt I did a really good job. But then she nailed me with "well you didn't tell the pt to wear non slip shoes and make sure there's a clear path before walking" I could have passed out right there. It's so frustrating and now I have to go back on Monday, do that all over again plus another totally random skill. I'm terrified now :(

I had a game plan to have this out of the way, enjoy my weekend a little bit but now it's all screwed up. Looks like I'll be taking off work just to go practice..UGH!
