Needin' some inspiration

first of all...................

BREATHE!!!!!!

just relax and take it one day at a time. everything will work out if you want it badly enough. sounds like you are having some burnout issues but actual nursing school is very much different than pre-reqs.

i started this entire thing when my youngest son was 8 months old. yes, it's been tough but i've made it and you will too.

prioritize......choose what you really want to accomplish in a day and then work towards that. leave the petty stuff for another day.

you'll do fine!

, melanie. at the end of each semester, i was "itching" to get through because i was soooo tired and felt like, i can not go another minute with school. i think we all have or are feeling this at one time or another. i have children and do understand and when my husband and i were still together, the pressure was on from him (i.e. you are always studying), so yes, i have been there too. just remember this session will be over and it is on to clinical! keep the faith! ((((melanie))))

(((((Melanie))))) This too shall pass..

Listen to Rena RN , Stephany, and Marie

Take the advice of those who have been there before you.

And by the way Didn't you just agree with me....Remember Scarlet "Tomorrow is Another Day"

Gotta go now.... working on the conclusion!

Melanie, That happened to me too. By the time classes ended this spring I wondered if I would have enough interest to finish...within 4 days after the last class I was ready to get to the nursing classes this fall. I think I was just not that interested in the classes I was taking (like chemistry and writing) I think it will be different when we start the nursing classes and clinicals.

Yep,, me too. By the time i got all the pre-reqs finished i was wondering if i REALLY wanted to do this or not. I bulldozed ahead, and i got finished.

Was a good feeling to look up into the crowd at graduation and see the look of pride on my kids faces. They have been supportive and comforting to me when i was struggling for tests and they have been patient as could be with me.

It's worth it,, hang in there.

Melanie-

Maybe it's the micro! :)

I took it this summer, too. I start nursing classes this fall and also felt like I was burning out and becoming disinterested.

Hang in, I'll be there with you!

alyssa, i took micro in summer session 2001 and it was enough to "burn" any one out! you may be correct in how melaine maybe feeling because the summer is a very intense session.
