I just graduated two weeks ago from nursing school and I still feel burned out. I can't even bring myself to start preparing for the boards. All my nursing content was completed Nov 25th. I think this last semester really took a toll on my brain and body. Please tell me this is normal and I will get over this feeling :yawn:

Specializes in new mother/baby nurse.

I can totally relate!! I also graduated a couple of weeks ago and feel completely drained! I have been really tired lately- like I've been going and going for 3 years stressing about tests, work, my three kids, husband, trying to find time for everything. Now that it is over- it is surreal. I havent cracked a book yet to study for the NCLEX but am planning to do so the day the kids are back in school (JAN 5)

Thanks Pebbles,

Just wondering how things are going with you? Are you feeling better yet? I think I am... either that or the adrenaline of nursing exam + new job in ER + ACLS + pending PALS course is keeping me going lol. Hope things are good on your end and your exam went well:)

Omg, thank u SecondgenRN for asking I am doing wonderful. I went to Jamaica right after graduation and I stayed for 1 week. I took my boards on March 2nd and I found out that I passed on March 3rd, so now I am a RN. I had 75 questions, it took me 1hr and 30min and I was done. How are you doing? I hope all is well with you. Let's make sure we keep in touch. Take care an let me know how ur are doing from time to time.
