Lost..

Published

I remember starting last May of 2017 in nursing school. I was very eager to get all A's and can't wait to do clinicals and start taking good care of my patients. Now, I'm failing Fundamentals, and might pushed back my graduation date. I'm very frustrated and broke, I can't fully concentrate and get my groove back on due to a break up and lack of support system. Started borrowing more books in hope of atleast passing the bare minimums of my exams. I felt like this is a Karma for not making God the center of my life, procrastination, and horrible life choices. I've never felt so dumb and stupid since I started doing clinicals and core nursing courses :( only thing that keeps me going is this strong passion in my heart to become a nurse, because I deeply know I won't be more satisfied doing something else aside from saving people and making impacts to their lives.

one step at a time. don't worry about your graduation date, it'll come. maybe take a day to take care of yourself, recollect and rest. Nursing school is not easy and not everyone makes it. just try to stay positive, focus on what you said you couldn't wait to do and use that as motivation. Also maybe try speaking with your professor and see what can be done to help you in fundamentals.

Thank you for all the encouragement! I just found out the best way for me to study! My instructors were very dedicated. Hopefully, I'll get to register for Medsurg by the next two weeks. :) !

A's aren't everything. But I know what you mean. I want to get all A's in my classes too and right now it doesn't look like that's gonna happen...

And God doesn't discipline or judge us for not making him the centre of our lives. It may feel like it sometimes (I have experience in that department) but he doesn't. Remember he loves us.

God willing I'll be in nursing school this fall and I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in!?

Same as you I have a passion for nursing and can't see myself doing anything else.

But if God got you in the program he can see you through it.

Faith is hard but the reward is far greater than we can imagine.

I'll be praying for you!
