anyone else uber anxious to be done?

i feel like i'm not going to have enough energy to make it to graduation. then, i'm afraid of choosing the wrong job, not doing well on nclex, moving to a new place, getting out into the real world and attempting to pay back my huge mound of debt, etc, etc, etc. i also have a wedding to plan in the next year.

anyone else feel like :uhoh3: :eek: :confused: :bugeyes: :barf01: ? i can't even put it into words....

Specializes in Informatics.

This is how my friends and I are feeling these days: :biere:

I just want this whole thing to be over. And on top of everything else, I'm helping plan the pinning ceremony, and it's just gone crazy. We have someone who's a little too power hungry in charge of the whole thing. :uhoh3:

If I can just make it until May...

Glad I am not the only one out there who feels like this. In fact the closer I get to graduation the more freaked out I am getting. I mean, I still feel like I don't know anything. I can't even remember stuff from my 2nd semester that well! Yeesh I am beginning to wonder how I will ever pass my boards! (I will be doing a whole lot of review thats for sure. I will be glad when it's done.

i totally agree with everyones comments. I feel all i do is eat, sleep, and nursing school. i feel so drained. :stone I feel like if i have to learn one more new thing my head is going to explode. i'm tired of studying and i'm tired of clinicals. only a few more weeks. i know we are all counting down the days until freedom from nursing school!! all i can do is take one day at a time.:selfbonk:

Count me in! I am so ready to be done. Although, I am just graduating with an ASN and I'm starting on my BSN in August, so it will be short lived. At least I won't have NCLEX (hopefully!) hanging over my head as I hope to get it done before June 1st.

An instructor I very much respect told us something just yesterday in clinical that made a lot of sense to me: When you are so sick of nursing school that you just don't think you can take another second of it, it is a pretty good sign that you are ready to spread your wings and take on the responsibility of being an RN. We are in our third semester, and most of us are tired of performing the same skills with supervision, being giving just one patient, and having to take test after test over the same nursing interventions. We are anxiously awaiting to spread our wings!!!

Hang in there! You are soooooo close. Grit it out and it will all be okay. And take a deep breath! You have a lot on your plate with school and planning a wedding. Just take things a day at a time.

You eat a pie one bite at a time!!!!

Yep I am with you all as well.

Its weird but I look back at the previous three semesters and think "wow they were easy compared to this" lol I never thought that before this semester.

I am dreaming several times a week that I am a nurse in various settings. Its like I am so focused on graduating that I can't concentrate on anything else!

WOW, I FEEL YA!!! I feel the same way. I keep thinking about graduating, getting a job, and I can't even concentrate on my studies. It really is starting to worry me. Like I feel if I keep thinking about graduating, I may jinx myself or something.:crying2:
