Its so Hard.....

Im Just so overwhelmed with Nursing school.... its 4:30am- i cant sleep im crying my eyes out because i dont think i can do it anymore..... Fall Semester is 2 weeks away...

I remember what someone told me ' Most people dont fail Nursing school because of the content... Usually its because Life happened to them' .....

I think Life just happened to me........

Scrape yourself together and get goin' girl! If you really don't want to do it anymore that's one thing. But if you just feel overwhelmed that's another. Get yourself organized, talk to your advisor, get a study group, and make a plan. GL!

I can't believe school is just a week away and I have no motivation, I don't feel like touching any books or reading anything....summer made me so lazy.

It's called The Wall, and you just hit it head on. You will get through this!

Three months ago, I stood at my kitchen counter, looking straight ahead as if I had been lobotomized, repeating over and over, "I'm fried. I can't do this anymore. I just can't."

A great big hug from someone I love very much did me wonders. Find that person in your life and just hold on tightly.

Then, go back to studying.

For some reason, I've become the calming Buddha in my nursing school group. People come to me when they need to know due dates or they start freaking out. I don't get it lol but apparently I do a good job at it!

During our "weed out" term (we lost over half our folks), I forced myself to look at one day at a time. When they kept piling on assignments and I felt myself getting panicky, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said to myself, "okay it needs to be done, so get over it."

Dorry's outlook on life definitely applies to nursing school: just keep swimming, just keep swimming.....

I'd say go outside and hug a tree, but I'm in Ohio too and this heat has been unbearable :)
