The end is rough!! I have about a week left and it is torture!! I have clinical again tomorrow and school on Friday all day. Then next week 3 clinical days, pinning ceremony, and graduation!

I am having trouble keeping it together here at the end. I am just burnt out with nothing left to give. My anxiety has been high and my life is on edge. Just too much going on!!

Any hints for getting through the day?? I have a tremendous amount of homework to finish up and will be gone all day tomorrow. It is due 0800 Friday morning. I did work on it and my instructor didn't like it, have to redo!

Plus I am running on little sleep and am exhausted!! Cannot concentrate!

Well, if it helps any, Lisa, I'll wave my magic wand;) I know that these pressures arise towards the end, but keep breathing slowly & don't allow the anxiety to get ahead of you. I'm pretty sure that some of this is fear of the unknown. In spite of the fact you want school to be over, it will be a big change in your life not to be attending. Here's structure that kept you focused. Here's where you performed what was expected of you. No matter how difficult it was, it was the easy part. Here comes the real world. It'll take some adjusting, but you have rolled with the punches so far, I predict a smooth transistion. Hang in there, kiddo! You are THIS close to having it all. Wish I could be there to see you pinned! Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Thanks Jan!

I made it through another day and it was a tough one! I have a huge amount of homework tonight to be done by 8am! I plan to order pizza for supper tonight and roll with the punches. It is just sooo hard and the anxiety makes it rough. The worst part is lack of sleep.

Hugs,
Lisa

Thanks Sheri Ann!

I have one day of 'school' left(presentations) and 3 days clinical. My pinning is Wednesday May 10 and grad is May 12. I have been crossing the days off...or like a real nurse d/c with yellow highlighter...LOL
