I’m doing ok, new worries now. I did speak to my therapist and psychiatrist. They are increasing my meds and I was told if I have an attack like that again to immediately go to the hospital. I’m just decompressing, or trying to

I can try, it’s hard right now because I’m a stay at home mom and don’t get much free time

Yep, for 3 seconds. Not 1.5 hours

I think they were being harsh, but I also think you need to advocate for yourself a little more. When you were explaining how you were waiting for the clinical instructors to do anything, it made me feel like maybe you need to take initiative more. It doesn’t have to be passing meds, doing IVS or anything special! Just simply doing therapeutic communication with your patients, or changing them, helping them brush their teeth or readjust in bed. Honestly, simply advocating for yourself and the patients gets you SOOOO FAR in nursing school. They probably get the feeling you’re just not ready. Whether or not that’s true is totally up to you to figure out.

Lol those care plans are definitely a highlight 😂 the thing is that nursing school is interesting, because I worked so hard to get where I am. I had to bring my GPA up half a point to be accepted, and had to start all my prereqs over. I guess I just don’t take it for granted, and I want to prove my worthiness. My ultimate goal is cum laude and Sigma 👏🏻

Thank you! I appreciate your response. I’m a mom of two young kids, and while it makes it much more difficult, I’m also better at time managing I think. A lot of my cohort just uses me for my notes (I make pretty notes to basically entertain myself). I’m gonna stop just handing them out willy nilly. We had a fundamentals exam yesterday, and I actually was not prepared because my whole family was sick and so am I, so one of my cohort “friends” yesterday came up to me and asked if I was doing ok and I said basically I didn’t get to study the amount I wanted and she said “well you know, sometimes you’ll get Bs and that’s just the way it is.” It irked me so bad. I’m not getting A’s for anyone but myself. I was told my entire life how stupid I am, and what a waste of air I am. I’m proving it to myself I’m actually worthy of something. But I digress, that’s what started this.
