Just finished pre-reqs... feeling sad???

Published

I just took my last final last night and now my pre-reqs are finished. And I feel sort of depressed, and don't know why. I should be celebrating, because I think I did pretty well!

I guess it's because now I just have to wait and see what happens for the fall. I've applied to an accelerated program, but won't find out until mid-June if I got in. I'm also on a wait list for an ADN program that starts in 2008, and may possibly be called up this fall. I guess just not knowing is what, if anything, I will be doing this fall is making me anxious.

Maybe it's because I really liked these classes, the professors, and (most) of my classmates.

Maybe it's because I don't know what to do with myself when I'm NOT in school.

Does anyone else feel sad when classes are over, or is it just me?:o

I know how you feel. I got my early registration notice for the summer semester and I felt a little sad that I wouldn't be going to the same school anymore. I have been taking classes there on and off forever. I have really liked my classes and professors and the campus, I know how everything works and where everything is. It is always a little sad when we move on to the next chapter in our lives. I am lucky because I know where I will be going this fall so I have the excitement of that to make up for any sadness I feel about moving on. In your case you are still in limbo but you will feel much more excitement when you know you situation for the fall.

I don't finish pre-req's until the 15th but I already feel really excited because the hardest part of the semester is finished!! I will be doing the happy dance that night for sure!!

I know exactly how you feel. I think I feel that way because you get attached to the little group of people you're always with too. You have your micro group, or a&p group for so long, and you're working toward a set goal of getting your pre-reqs done. Once that is completed, you feel a little lost and wonder what's next. Getting into a program isn't as set as taking prerequisite classes. Anyone can register for those classes, nursing school is much more competitive and selective.

Good luck with the application and getting in :) Keeps us posted

I still have 3 more weeks to do but I think I know where your comming from I have antisipated this as well, I have been working so hard for so long and soon this phase will be over. I have to wait until next january before I even have a hope of starting so i kind of feel in limbo. Also I have made some wonderful friends who have traveled this course with me and I will be sad to leave them, so yes I think I too will be sad but happy too, but I know I'll be wondering what to do with my time haha.
