I might fail OB clinical, nervous and kinda suicidal

Nurses Stress 101

Published

So I have been having some suicidal thoughts with clinical. I have been informed by my instructor that I received an F for the midterm. I have an 85% in the course. However, when I asked why I was failing she said that I was lacking in sufficient health teaching, but other wise was doing a good job. So I'm lacking in one area, bust my ass in clinical and nothing is shown for it. I have received little positive comment on performance, but when I told a few others in my clinical group about, they said they were shocked and confused. I cannot fail clinical. I don't have money for winter classes.

Compounding the problem is that tomorrow evening is my last night on the unit and I am nervous as hell. Its driving me crazy and is making me depressed 24/7, and I can't sleep well.

I don't know what to do. I'm scared, like a lot. My mom threatened to cut me off financially and socially, and without her I cannot afford school period. I'm really scared and upset. I'm a man and I don't like OB so that makes it worse I suppose.

Nursing is NOTHING to hurt yourself over. Nursing does not show the world your self worth.

GET. HELP.

I had a BSN classmate commit suicide our junior year. The thoughts are REAL but your life is worth more than nursing school.

I hope & pray that you are able to seek out the help you need. I know I'm a stranger to you but I would hold your hand and let you vent for however long it took for you to feel a little better. Even though it's not in person, the hotlines can really help and no one will judge you. So many ppl suffer from this and it takes a great amount of courage to come forth and ask for help, so I commend you. I hope you make the call.

I promise it does get better. No matter what is going on in your life right now....it does get better. Thoughts and good vibes coming your way. Please update us with how you are doing or just to vent/talk. Hugs.
