Hi there. I know this may not make you feel better but I like to hear that some are going through the same thing as me. This depression thing (i think) is normal- for nursing students at least. I've only been in nursing school for almost a semester and I have had all the "symptoms" you have had. I am on anxiety meds and have felt depressed too but really don't want to admit it . What has helped me at least a little bit is take your vitamins! My mom knows best. Vit B, D, A and iron! Trust me it will brighten your mood. Also, eat healthy and excersise (go for a run- it helps so much) I know you feel like you dont have alot of time (thats my excuse too) but it will benefit you in the long run. One last thing! stay POSITIVE! It is so hard yet it works so well, you need to believe in yourself and know that you can do it because you can. I feel the same way- im super good at the clinical stuff and working with the patients but school is beating me up its very discouraging. Just smile! you can do this! Let us know how your doing I would love to hear how your doing :)

I think you should just tell the NM, make an appointment. Eveyone has certain things they don't like doing. I totally understand what you mean and I would never catch myself at an event like that unless I had a buddy. Goodluck :)

I am a 19 year old college student in the BScN course. The course is very overwhelming for me and cannot seem to get on the ball with all of the assignments and tests. I already failed one of my tests and am not doing all that great in the others. Should I give up? Maybe do the RPN course instead? I am very stressed and discouraged. In need of a pick-me up:)
