HELP....Burnt Out...

Hi! I dont know your financial situation but if possible it might help to take some time off from working. It might be that you are just stretched too thin right now and need to free up some time for yourself. If thats not possible, maybe try talking to a counselor or even just someone that you trust or look up to at work or school. They could have some helpful ideas. :)

Thanks JessicaLynn412...I really wish I could take off from work, but I'm financially unable to do that at this point...I have a feeling I'm going to end up not being able take time off to study for the NCLEX when the time comes...I'm hoping to at least have a week off before taking the NCLEX...I'm thinking I'm just going to have to work 6 nights straight in order to do that...I've already been requesting to be 1st call off from work...allnurses.com is my therapy from my life of nursing school...it's nice to be able to communicate with people who are able to better relate to me than my own husband...oh well, hopefully my mind will begin to function tomorrow...I'm thinking of calling it quits for today...

I was in a similar situation. I found just doing something for me, made it all better. So I started going rollerblading whenever I felt this way for one hour. You will be amazed just what a difference, doing something for yourself can make. So find a release, because if you are feeling that way there is no way you are absorbing what you are reading and studying.

Good luck.

thanks...you're so right...i haven't been able to absorb anything...i tried shopping and that didn't seem to work, which is weird if you truly knew me...i decided to try a different environment today to see how that works out...oh well...

2 more weeks of school.....and I can't seem to get myself to do anything anymore...i'm just so tired of studying and writing papers...considering that I've done my whole program while working full-time night shifts as an LVN has just had me spent...anybody with any advice to help me get back on track...

The last two weeks of school I too was burnt out. My classmate and I had discussed we couldn't bring ourselves to want to study. So, I didn't really study. I basically said, I know it or I don't. And guess what? The tests I took those last two weeks were my best grades ever including my ATI test out. My advice?

You're done. Congrats!

I was wodering after reading your situation,just now i am realising that how hard all are working to study.I am from out of US ,my father is the one who paid all my fee for BSN and now i am in US.I cannot imagine such a situation in my life ,i appreciate you for your hard work and wish you all the best.

Thanks....I feel like I'm going to be doing the same thing...I figure that I'm passing regardless, I was just hoping to raise my GPA since last semester killed it for all of us that passed the whole semester...I thought that my 2nd semester was bad since only half continued on to the following semester...but last semester started out with 45 students and we ended up with 17 (majority of us with C's)...I've been told that C=RN, but it's rather disheartening to know that many out there will have the upperhand due to GPA...

thanks kocheli, i have to say that I'm one of the few people in the program that continued to work full-time throughout due to necessity...i wished that it could have been different since it took a lot away from studying...i work 12 hour night shifts at a local hospital as an LVN...i would say the most difficult thing was trying to stay awake during lectures when coming straight from work (which i did often)...i guess the one thing i look forward to after these 2 weeks is being able to get some sleep...
