I Need Motivation for Finals...

[ORTech2RN]

I'm seriously burnt out at this point. I've spent the last several months poring over powerpoint slides and a huge OB textbook. I've done pretty good so far-84,90,84 on my three exams. Going into the final I need a 72 to keep the B, and a 52 just to pass. The problem is I've procrastinated BIG Time for the final. If I open that book up one more time, I may end up burning it instead. However, now I'm getting a little nervous-if I study over the notes tonite and all day tomorrow-mostly brushing up some problem areas and content from early in the semester, I should be ok, right? The way I look at it, if I go into this final and pull less than a 50, after averaging an 86 all semester, then I've made an effort just to fail the class. Somebody help me, am I wrong for letting up on the gas at the end??

i know exactly how you feel... i feel like just sitting and watching movies all day.. i'm sooo tired of going over powerpoints and trying to remember all the important stuff of med surg.. .. i've just been trying to answer as many questions as possible from various review books.. and whatever i know i'm fuzzy on.. i go back and look in the notes and powerpoints...

we got lucky though because our professors had a review day.. where each professor would come up there for 15 mins and they would answer questions on the content he/she taught.. and some of them gave us pointers about what kind of questions to expect...

you've worked all semester.. just think of it this way.. one more exam and you're done til august/september (or whenever your program starts back up)!!!!!

just keep swimming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hug:

Some advice from a student who just finished her finals last week and is free from nursing school forever and ever... don't give up on your studying. Work through the pain of studying, it will be worth it in the end. You can do it!!!!!!!!
