School is going to be the death of me.

I expected nursing school  to be hard and the first five weeks with just the two classes, pharmacology and fundamentals of nursing was difficult but not unbearable.  Now,  I’m done with fundamentals but replaced it with three classes. I still have pharmacology and by the grace of God, I got a B on the test that I crammed for yesterday. I have med surg lab on Wednesdays, med surg lecture on Thursdays, and clinicals all day on Friday.  We have a test every week in lecture and next week we have another test in pharmacology.  I also have an exam in lab which will be interesting considering that i didn’t make lab this week due to being sick.  Clinicals is going to be interesting.  Jury is still out on it.  The good thing about clinicals is that we are only getting 30 min for lunch and we are not allowed to leave so we have to bring our lunches.  It’s better then eating out.  I also start my new job next week. Ugh!  I’m not sure I’ll survive this year. I know I will but it’s going to be hard.  Things are going to be rough but I can do it.  At least, I hope I can.

    A friend of mine just graduated last year and is now a RN. I recall many time her crying to me about how hard it was but stay strong and you will get through it. Congrats on the B!

    You can do it. I went through as an adult and it is hard. Read your books and try to absorb any new learning experience at clinicals. Do not be afraid to ask questions. Pack a healthy lunch and good luck!!!

    I told you it will be a long difficult year. You will make it. I promise. It will be worth it in the end when you are walking across the stage with your lamp and getting that pin. Even more so when you find out you passed the boards. Just take it one day at a time. A margarita helps once in a while. LOL
