I'm in a 3 year long BSN program and I'm currently a senior. I just got my midterm evaluation for my clinical care rotation and I got a C !!! Never happened before. My instructor says I still have time to work up a better grade but I doubt that if I don't get my act together.
For some reason I feel exhausted and overwhelmed before I even start studying. I'm always looking for excuses to leave the house and postpone studying. I want to be done with school already! I also work full time as a care partner (CNA) and that also drains me. I'm still struggling to figure out if the stress of school or lack of money (hence the full time job) is the culprit of my exhaustion. Or maybe I'm just getting lazy?!
I'm also really tired of writing up care plans that I find useless and unecessary. I don't care to investigate problems and do more than is required as I previously did. I think I am really losing motivation, and that freaks me out cause I have a midterm on monday and I dont want to fail it. Anyway, has this happened to any of you? How did you overcome it? HELP!!
I have three more quarters left, and from what I hear this (ICU rotation) is meant to be the hardest quarter of all. Suggestions?
I'm in exactly the situation you are in at the moment. I feel burned out and find it really difficult to motivate myself. However, what I do is to look back to where I started and where I am now (in my final 6 months!!) and think how pointless it would be to give it all up now at this stage.
When I qualify, I'll be able to support myself and have a good life. I'd like to travel too and my degree will give me an open passport almost. Don't give up now - you're almost there!!:yelclap::yelclap:
Thank you all for the encouraging words. I am doing and feeling much better. I have come too far to give up because of stress, especially now.
And I do appreciate care plans because after all they are the foundations of nursing care. My comments were out of frustration. Oh, got an A in the midterm I was stressing about!

I felt like that at the end of last semester. Now I just want to be DONE and have my hardest semester ahead of me. Ugh.
