Well I am in my last semester of RN school and it has been non stop I swear I could  write a care plan in my sleep.


1. We have 10 med pubs online courses to take... That took forever


2. A Community teaching project due with in 2 weeks of our clinical group start (no one is helping me on this) GRRRRRR


3. 60 hours of clinicals..Care plans for each pt and logs for each visit


4. 2 observations.. which requires a paper and a journal article


5. Two simulations.. This was 9 pages typed just for the first one


6. 80 hours of preceptor.


This all on top of class and tests  I feel  like I am going to blow an anyeresum!!!


On top of all that I didn't do well on my first test this semester.. WORST TEST EVER!! normally a B student but I am going to hopefully get a C.  Thats all I want is a 75 anything better is groovy but just give me that 75


I wish there was a way to add just another hour in the day that way I could probably sleep for more than 4 hours


My husband thinks I have chronic PMS, my son wants to leave home, no one wants to be around me.


I have a dining room table full of books. My house looks like it imploded and on top of all that a stray dog adopted us and had 7 pups


ARRGGG Will it every end~

Wheh. I'm tried just reading that list! Sounds like you are really organized, though. Good luck! It will be so worth it when you're done!

Look at all you have accomplished so far!!!! You have 8 weeks left, only 8 and those will fly by in no time! Once you are finished you can take a deep breathe, look back at where you were and how far you have come, and really appreciate all the hard work and the extra little hurdles God put in your way, to prove to you, you can do anything.  Don't give up and don't stress out!

I'm in my last semester too. It's tough but look how far we've come. I have a paper due this semester. 9 pages in all which isn't bad. Only bad think is we have to research 7 journals. That's the tough part. Good luck to all the students graduating this semester. We've come a long way baby!! LOL

One day at a time is how I'm looking at it. Sometimes the end is the worst. I'm sure feeling it.
