Final final exam tomorrow..... I need a 76, First class I have been borderline with the whole time, 76 and 74. barely making it....

I know every bit of info I could. I hope I pass, otherwise it will be an embarrassing graduation party.

I am just so burnt out and beaten down from everything that has happened to me.

We are talking about the stress scale and apparently I score about a 360-470

I am at a high risk for developing a disorder. This has been over the past 2 years. I doubt I will get it. I would like to think I handled it the best I could.

5/11-5/12 it was like 400.

I have had little breaks but something is always out there causing me to panic again.

Just because you have a lot of stress doesn't mean you will develop a "disorder" if you can handle stress well. One day at a time. I hope you do well on your final.

If school stresses you working as a nurse will kill you. I'm serious.

It wasn't school that stressed me. It was the deaths of 3 family during nursing school that literally followed the curriculum.

How do you propose getting through NS with no stress? I'd love to know.

I'm sorry to hear about your three losses. It can be really tough even in the best of times, but then you throw nursing school in and it sucks! Glad you passed. Now, you can focus on happier times ahead.

Because it's just school, its homework and tests with some clinicals thrown in. Everything is inconsequential until you have 3-4 patients that are critical with multiple trips and you are on your own. That's stress.

NS isn't hard at all dealing with 3 deaths is.

Thats the whole point of the thread. If you read the beginning, rather than making a random comment, it was the stress level that I would have been rated on in a standard scale. If you looked at the scale maybe only 2 stressors truly relate to school itself. The rest of it are life changes.

The stressors were things such as Suicide before the suicide and depression exam or child hood death before end of life care for pediatrics exam.(I am not exaggerating these were 2 weeks within the exam)

I know because of the way I handled these events, I am more than adequate to handle stress of a nursing job and separate my life from my work.
