Specializes in Neuro.

I go back for my final semester this coming Monday! And I finally have my clinicals at a Regional Medical Center instead of a smaller hospital.

I still have a million things to get done before the whirlwind starts all over again...

Who else starts? Excited? Scared?

I am starting my final semester 8/24 and I am scared to death! I know I can do it, and content wise it doesn't seem too bad- we are done with lecture the week before Thanksgiving! But I want to make the most of it and do my best!

I am finishing my last semester also. I am scared but excited at the same time. I cannot believe I am about to graduate that seems unfathomable. I know I am lots more compentant than I started but finishing this semester is kind of strange. I need to do well so I can graduate good luck to us all.

I too start my final semester on the 24th. I am looking forward to getting it done. I am so ready to be a RN instead of just a student. I am excited and already overwhelmed with what I have to get through over the next 16 weeks.

I too start my final semester August 26. I am so tired and ready to start a new life. I just bought my uniforms for my final semester and hope I can use them after. It seems to be such a long hard journey but God is good, my dream is right at the door waiting for me to let it in. God is good all the times. I have survived the ups and downs in my life. I have been through so much since I started nursing school but I kept my eyes on the prize. Nothing is going to break me. God is not lie!

I am very anxious...more than I have been any other semester. You know how you get on one of those scary rides at an amusement park, where you think it looks fun, and then you get up there and look around and think, "s__t, what have I gotten myself into??" Well, that's exactly how I feel right now. I'm looking down from the top of the rollercoaster and having second thoughts, but now there's nothing to do but hold on and brace myself for the wild ride that's coming. I just hope that school turns out like the rides...always glad that I went through with it, because it ended up being better than I thought :chuckle.

Good luck to everyone! I wish I were in my final semester-I will just be starting my first semester on Tuesday, August 25th. I cannot believe how anxious and excited I feel. And the books seem overwhelming. From what I have read posters saying about NS, take one day at a time and do everything you can each day to ensure success. So I will stay in the present moment each day and try to absorb everything and read ahead and make sure to prepare-I am already experiencing insomnia!:heartbeat:nurse::heartbeat

Tomorrow, it turns out, I have orientation at clinicals. A tour of the hospital, learning how to chart on their system, and skills review. I am so nervous for some reason. I couldn't even sleep in today.
