Literally I am. I don't think I have ever felt so overwhelmed at the end of a semester.
I have so much to study for my A&P 2 4th exam, final practical, and cumulative final-not to mention my Lifespan class
I know you all are in the same boat, if not in a deeper one as well. Just wanted to put this in writing and hopefully be able to get back into study mode with confidence. Still not sure if I will hit submit thread or not.
I just want this semester to end now. I sooo need a break and put it behind me (don't we all).
I am so anxious to start clinicals on Jan 9th, but feel like these classes are pulling me back with a magnet
At this point I am craving another snow storm (hopefully class will be canceled) JUST KIDDING
Okay, I feel better now. Thank you for allowing me to vent a little. :roll
Wow, you are an amazing busy little beeBest wishes to you!
Thank you sooo much and everyone else who has been so kind and had a conforting word to say.
My Lifespan exam went very well last night. Still keeping my fingers crossed for my A&PII, 3 upcoming exams. One more week and I am freeeeeeeeeee
I will be praying for you. You'll do well. I had a better day in clinical except it was a slow day for finding skills. There was only 2 IVs that had to be pulled in Same Day Surgery, but my instructor wanted me to observe my classmate pull. (She hasn't done an IV pull yet) and the other man had a lot of blood and drainage on the IV site so the RN had to pull it. PCTs and PCT students aren't allowed to discontinue an IV with a lot of drainage or blood on the site.
There were no simple dressing changes, ostomy changes, and foley removals for me. I observed an colostomy bag change, did a bunch of accuchecks and Dynamaps/Pulse Oxes, and emptied a JP. I finish the course on Tuesday and I want to get the rest of the competencies out of the way. Yes, I'm a busy girl. I go to class 3 evenings a week (4-8pm) and work 4 nights a week at the nursing home (2nd shift).
I hardly have time for myself. I've squeezed in Christmas shopping and decorating the house for the holidays. I won't have time to make Christmas cookies. My mom is graduating on Sunday with a bachelor's degree and I didn't get the day off approved. Nobody wanted to switch with me. I'm calling out; my mom gets her bachelors only once in her lifetime. My coworker wants to switch days with me so she can work for me on Christmas Eve and day and I'll work the New Year's weekend.
I'm signing up for nursing school at the community college. I'll have to take the prereqs first, but I want to go for it. I've wanted to be a nurse when I was a little girl; but when I graduated from high school; I was undecided. I took the CNA course when I was 21 and knew I wanted to work my way up little by little. I wasn't the best in algebra and chemistry, but one of my friends say its a very good learning experience to become a CNA and PCT before going to nursing school. Good luck on your exams. When do you graduate? Are you a CNA or PCT? Write back to me. See ya.
