I am a first semester nursing student. I am getting adjusted to the 'nursing' school way of things. Today I had a fever, I had a sore throat and just felt awful! I HAD to go to school A) because I cannot miss more than two days or else we automatically fail
B) I cannot afford to miss one piece of information for MY future patients.
In addition to my nursing classes I needed to fulfill a classical/fine art credit so I took Theatre because I enjoyed theatre in high school very much. We had to write an essay in response to a musical and I forgot to staple it. I know it was MY mistake. I know. but the professor just gave me back my essay and said "no". I lost it. I was running a fever and had the 10 some chapters to read for foundation for a test this Friday in addition to a test I was going to have next period in Psychology. I was just about to blow.
I simply crumpled the paper, put it in my bag, got up and said...
"well I have better things to worry about"
I walked off. cooled off... gave my self 10 minutes. Came back and sat down.
I feel terrible.
idk if I should apologize or what. or even how.
So stressed. I need a support group. I am glad to report I do have some amazing nursing buddies. I just wish we hung out for non nursing related stuff. I need an outlet. No one besides my nursing friends understand my nursing struggles.
