I guess other opportunities will come along. It was a job fair and I told them I have open availability but I should of specified thanks for your feedback

Hi everyone. I'm in a bit of a dilemma here and I would like some advice. I am single mom and a new nurse and I recently accepted the position in CVICU working overnight. CVICU is my dream job. I wasn't thinking straight when I accepted the overnight offer and now I am deeply regretting it. My situation is that I literally have no support from anyone. I have a nanny to watch my daughter overnight but I can't afford daytime care so I would be the one taking care of her during the day. My daughter is 9 months old right now. I won't start the nurse residency program until June 22 and I won't be working on the unit until some time in August. I have worked night shift before and got really sick from the sleep deprivation. Should I call the nurse manager and decline the offer? Do you think they will consider giving me a daytime position? Should I work 6 months overnight and then switch to day? Please no rude comments. Just looking for some advice.

OMG Thank you - I will deff follow your schedule! It would take me 5 hours to study for one chapter. I literally spend 12 hours a day (5-6 days a week) studying.. I would do this all while working (currently unemployed now since this is the hardest semester) and I never slept I know I can pass this class, all I have to do it ace the exam 3 and 4 and I'll be fine for the final My professor gave me a schedule to study one chapter a day every day (11-12 days straight) and to review each chapter every day as well; but I have an exam every other week in my OB class (10-12 chapters each exam) so I fell behind in MED SURG. And with clinicals, client profiles, care plans and practice question due every week - it took a toll on me.

Yes, I spoke to my professor who provided me with a study schedule and how to study; but the thing is I feel like I go overboard in studying for this class. It takes me 5 hours to study one chapter and I don't know how to shorten that.

I am in my last year of nursing school and I am having a difficult time in Med Surg 2. In my program you can only fail two classes before getting kicked out. I already failed pharmacology and now I am currently failing med surg 2. I failed the first two exams and I have a 68%.. There are 3 exams left (2 exams and a final) and a 76% is a passing grade I heard the final was really hard which is causing me to feel even more discouraged. Is there anyone who was in the same position as me? Do you think there is hope in passing this class? I don't know what else to do I study each chapters assigned, do NCLEX-style questions, review my lengthy study guide but for some reason my anxiety takes over when I take an exam. I asked multiple people in my class to form study groups but no one really wants to study with me - they'll brush me off or something. I just feel hopeless.
