Is it normal to not want to go to work ? I seriously can't seem to make myself go. Maybe it's my job..IDK...I am a student nurse tech right now which means I am on poop patrol and bath duty.I graduate in 23 days with my RN and I am just so down and out. It's like this feeling of sadness and hopelessness always seems to come back. I hate not feeling like doing anything and that is exactly how I feel. My daughter was taken to detention today and her hearing is on Wednesday, her Probation officer is going to place her in a lock down facility for a year. I just hate my life right now and with graduation being so close I feel like I should be happy but I am just so sad plus the anxiety is back with a vengeance. I just want to hide in my closet...seriously

t nikki, that is so good that you are going to be a nurse. I'm sorry to hear you won't/aren't feeling well enough to embrace it. Maybe things will straighten out with your daughter eventually-I don't come from a place of experience with child rearing-because I never had children. Maybe when she is somewhere safe and secure you will go ahead and graduate and start your career and things will get stable again.
Best to you,

You should be so proud of yourself.Everything your going through and your graduating in 23 days? Your perserverance is amazing to me. Your going through alot but look your getting through it. Have faith that it wont always be like this. I hope things get better for you soon.

It's AAAmazing to me that you have gotten through school during so many trials and tribulations. It's no small feat. Of course you are a little burned out and need a rest, but, you are almost there and you will feel even more proud of yourself than you should already be feeling. I myself couldn't do what you did. I am truly inspired. Be proud of yourself and don't knock yourself down because you are feeling a bit down, a bit tired and discouraged. You are allowed. Take a break when you are done with school if you can you sure deserve it.

Hugs, you are so close to being an RN and that's GREAT!!! The world needs awesome caring people like you!!

noooo nooo, dont feel bad
you are living my dream
i always wanted to be a nurse
i dont know why i didnt just went a different direction !!!
i wish you the best, hang in there , it gets better

Congrats t_nikki!!!!!

Do not be so hard on yourself!!!! You have a lot on your plate right now and one thing tends to overflow into the next so it is hard to be happy about one thing and worried as all get out over the next. So yes, you are feeling normal (overwhelmed) but you can do this and in the end it will be great!!

I will keep you in my prayers.

Hugs to you,
Jeaninne

Thank you ladies so much for all your encouragement and kind words. I woke this morning with a clear mind, light heart and calm stomach !! Praise Jesus =]

You guys never cease to amaze me with your constant support.This site truly is a blessing and I wish you guys all just lived right down the street =]

School has been unbelievably hard and IT ***** !! The only way I made it was that Jesus carried me when I couldn't go another step. I have a incredible husband and a special bond with a few of my fellow nursing students. THank God it is almost over 5 more exams, 21 more days and than state boards and I will be DONE, than the hard part starts.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers girls, and I will do the same.
Thanks again.

Just wanted to chime in here and tell you that I know how hard it can be to be in school and to juggle so much crap in your personal life. It takes strength and courage and do pat yourself on the back for your amazing ability to do all of this.

Also, I know about the feeling of hopelessness, but things cycle around and you will come out of this - you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
