Thanks for your response @focks11. What did your PD tell you/what was that conversation like? @wrbcrna You are definitely right- I planned a date night with my husband this weekend.. So I'm looking forward to that & it's a reason to get through this week. As far as talking to my classmates: Although I know my classmates feel stressed out too, no one has really opened up about it and I think expressing my thoughts to them would make me seem like a weak link... Unfortunately. Ps. Hope everyone is safe. What happened in Orlando this weekend was horrible.

Hi everyone- 2nd semester SRNA here. I've started having these anxiety attacks/freakouts where I just feel like i can't do this... Clinicals in-and-of itself is actually fun and I really enjoy it- but that PLUS our school schedule is just.. hurting my spirit! if that makes any sense. My grades are fine too, I just don't know how long I can manage this degree of lack of sleep, constant neverending to-do list and no days off. And it's only going to get worse next semester when our hours at the hospital are bumped up. I kinda feel like I'm just torturing myself. So my questions are: Is being a CRNA worth the schooling (and everything the schooling encompasses- cost, lack of sleep/family time, stress)? Did/do you feel this way about CRNA school too? Would you do it over again, why or why not (and if not-what do you wish you would have done?). Also for anyone who already dropped out of CRNA school- do you regret it? If you have any other words of advice/thoughts/ramblings feel free to add those too.
