Hello, I am a nursing student attending a vocational school for the LVN here in San Diego. The program is 13 months and you all know it is VERY FAST PACE. I am here to vent out my problems with school for it is the only best way for myself to feel better and not be depressed, than having somebody prescribe medications for anxiety or depression. It is very unfortunate for me to be in a situation now that I am losing hope only because the courses have gotten very hard for me to study. Exams are on a weekly basis, most times two course would be on the same week. One course tomorrow, the other course the next day and so on and so forth. I have really lost my sleeping pattern, overstudying, cramming and really have develop anxiety attacks when exams are about to start..I can't give up now I know. However, I am here to ask for some motivation who have been in my position and understand that I really need the help that I need to get back in the A-game again. I am falling between B's & C's and I definitely cannot fall into a D because that will show that I am out of the program.As of now I am in a 76% and I need a 77 and above to pass. I do want this career but I really cannot help but feel fearful. Please help me ways how I can relax my mind, how to study when there are 3 different exams day after day in a week. How can I achieved learning everything and being able to digest everything that I have learned for only a day and the next day I have an Exam already? Please help me get my self esteem, confidence and the drive to want this career again.. Thank you for your time reading my post. I will very much appreciate all the help I can get to survive. Thank you and Merry Christmas -Shelly
