This is it.

I have 9 weeks left. I seriously am dragging my feet at this point. I do the minimum on my assignments and I procrastinate. My last class is critical care and I am halfway done with Practicum (L&D). I cannot wait until this is over. I am going through a break up and I am tired of being broke.I know NCLEX is the next step but as long as I am finished with school I will be HAPPY.I am so beat up and sick of studying. I am fortunate to already have a job as a tech at a hospital(although I want to move to NC from Ohio;my hospital is extremely physician driven), but I can't take this anymore. Please some words of encouragement. Please ! :(:grumpy::blackeye:

I am right there with you -- this is my 2nd bachelor's and I AM SO DONE WITH SCHOOL. The thing that keeps me going is knowing that I could still blow it in this final run to the finish line. Anything could happen that could completely destroy the last 2 years of work. I don't want that to happen. Right now, you're going through the paces -- it's time to dig deeper. Look at the things that still give you butterflies in your stomach and work on mastering them. For me, I'm in critical care and the majority of it gives me butterflies so I have a lot that I need to work on mastering. That bit has gotten overwhelming but I just have to keep trying -- and you do, too.

For you, you might need to start digging deeper to prep for your move to NC -- where do you want to work? How do you get hired there? What's the goal in NC? That might help reignite that fire in you. Good luck! You're so close! ;)

If you "can't take this anymore" then quit. I don't understand what your problem is? You are going through a breakup? ok? So if you become a nurse and you have a break up are you going to give your patients sub par care? Only YOU can decide what you want to do. Just because you are stressed, tired, frustrated, and whatever..you better bring your A game to work EVERY SINGLE TIME. One sentinel event from C level work and say adios to your nursing career. You don't need "words of encouragement"..you need a reality check that the nursing world is brutal and non hackers do not last. School is your "work". Do it well and do it right.

Breakups during nursing school suck! Keep going don't start slacking though. I had a class mate who was dropped from the program 5 weeks before graduation.
