I have it bad, and it started only after a week into my final semester. Its way too early in the semester for this. My s/s of senoritis are:
1. It takes every fiber in my being to open up my text book
2. I'm constantly making deals with myself. I.E. If I can just study for 1 more hour I will treat myself to an episode of law and order on netflix.
3. Decrease in overall zealous
4. Anxiety
5. The feeling of just wanting this to be over with.
*** on another note, I'm totally mad at my BF right now. What part of I'm in nursing school don't he understand.
Him: Can I come over tomorrow?
Me: No I have to study
Him: (sigh)
( I wouldn't have been so annoyed if he already didn't ask me the same question twice this week)
Him: Why are you over whelmed?
ME: Um, I wonder why? Maybe because I have an exam in two weeks and such much content to familiarize myself with. :uhoh3: But he is supportive so I'm ever so grateful. :redbeathe
Honestly, I've made the decision to make other areas of my life a priority. I'll finish the program in May and do fine, but I'm not going to put in nearly the effort with assignments that I have before. I've got too much other stuff that I prefer going on in life right now. I am (or was) a career changer, and I've lost interest in making the change. I've got two jobs in my current field, I'm enjoying it again, and I've got a new lady in my life with things going better in that direction than any other one I've ever been with. Nursing just doesn't interest me anymore.

I know how you feel. Semester 7 of 8 here and you wouldn't beleive how over it I am right now. I just finished a 12 hour night shift on a Saturday night, with no pay. I have to complete 336 hours of clinical prac this semester and I'm up to 140. I think that 12 hr night shift on Saturday should be classed as double time, so 24hrs
i think we should get paid for clinical time..i love the experience, but im poor & need all the $ i can get hahah.clinical takes up a lot of time

I'm in law enforcement. The reason I went to NS last August was that it'd be a "relatively" quick change with a salary similar to what I was used to in the job I left. I then moved, went back to school, and got the other jobs, lol. I had a science degree with all the prereqs, and I'd previously worked part-time in life as a paramedic so it wasn't the change wasn't completely out of left field for me. If the price was location, salary, and position were right I'd make a partial change, but I'm at a point now where I don't care enough to not be choosey.
