Question About "Senioritis"

[Despareux]

i'm in my 4th quarter of 5 quarter program. after my 3rd quarter, our class had the entire summer off = 4 months. the days leading up to my 4th quarter, i already felt burnt out from school. we are done with the quarter in early december. we return in january and graduate in march.

from your experience with "senioritis", does this go away, or decrease, the last quarter/semester? i sure hope it does and i have a feeling that it will at least decrease; maybe due to the anticipation of graduating.

also, please share your recommendations on how to conquer this serious lack of motivation and disorganization.

It didn't go away for me. LOL I was so DONE. We had semesters at my school here so it was my last semester I was just so ready to be done. It was also the easiest semester I felt though (although we were told it would be hard) but I was just ready to get out there and get licensed and start working.

Push through!!!!

It really sucks to have your last quarter/semester be in spring. The sun is back out, temps are starting to warm, things are turning green again and the last thing you want is to be stuck in a class.

Hi Mi Vida -

You graduated one semester in front of me and I feel that you've already done so much than I have! And congrats on everything you've accomplished!

As for me, we have this upcoming week off, for Thanksgiving and I have to go back the following Monday and Tuesday for my last days of clinical. That's a little brutal but I am looking forward to having this week off! This semester feels SO LONG. Three weeks from today is my final test and I am really looking forward to saying that I survived nursing school! Only 29 days, 10 hours, 27 minutes and 3 seconds until the pinning ceremony starts. I think I just might make it! LOL

Thank you. I almost hated having a week off for Thanksgiving. I would rather just get done early. LOL It was so hard to come back and push through for like 2 weeks after having a week off. Butttttt you are almost done and will soon join the ranks of working nurses!!!!!

You're right. As soon as I found out that we had that week off I was a little miffed...I would rather just be done. Now that the week off is a little closer though, I'm actually grateful. I have to paint a couple of sections of my house before I have guests come over for my graduation party. It's actually a good thing alhtough it will be hard to get motivated to go back after Thanksgiving!!!
