I've experienced this twice in life.
One, when I was in paramedic school. I was also going to college (university) by day working towards a B.S. degree. I commuted over to a community college at night to do the paramedic stuff. Neither school knew I was enrolled at the other. I like "medical stuff," but after having 30 semester hour semesters I got sick and tired of paramedic school and clinicals. I couldn't stand it toward the end. About three months passed upon finishing the program before I got interested in actually finding a medic job.
Two, after I completed the police academy. It was kind of like boot camp in that we had to get up early, do PT, march, do flag formation, wear BDUs, and worst of all we couldn't leave. That said, police junk was crammed down our throats throughout it all, and we never could distance ourselves from it. I got a day and a half off before I had to go to work between finishing the academy and going into part II of my field training. I remember the first day back very clearly. Quite simply, I wanted no part of being a a cop. I was cooked. Over time, it came back though.
You'll get past it. You just need more you time and the ability to do it more your way and less someone else's way. Hang in there.

On August 23rd I start my VERY LAST semester of nursing school!
I'm very excited and can't wait to graduate. I'm taking peds first then precepting (hopefully in critical care!!) along with nursing research and two gen ed requirements.
