AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I'm going to go insane, I know it. I want to go on record saying I HATE NURSING SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! Love the outcome, hate the process!!! I feel like SCREAMING right now!!!! And I don't scream!!!!! They treat us like children, don't tell us ANYTHING until the last minute, expect us to know EVERYTHING, (and I quote) "I want you to act like you've been a nurse for 25 years and pretend I'm not even here watching you" (what an instructor said before we had to individually perform skill competencies). NEWS FLASH: I'M NOT A NURSE YET!!! I DON'T HAVE 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO ACT LIKE I DO!!! How am I possibly supposed to measure up to those type of standards if they set them that high?? I'll always come up short! Give me at least a goal I can REACH for crying out loud! I thought the stress would taper off after finals....I WAS WRONG!!! No, they freaking want us to be petrified of doing the SLIGHTEST thing wrong and expect us to know EVERYTHING!! I'm so sick of it and today was my breaking point...and now I have to go work on a stinking care plan for tomorrow morning (that's the best pronoun I could think of that is appropriate to post---but I'm thinking other not-so-appropriate words to describe care-plans!!!). I'm probably only going to get 4 hours of sleep tonight (if I'm lucky). ::smoke coming out of my ears::

Believe it or not (after the above rant), last weekend went very well and psych isn't as bad as I anticipated. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't change that...(we did something entirely different today...I'll explain in a separate post when I have time again...might be awhile).

I'm done fuming now. Well, not really, but I'm done venting about it on here...

218 days until graduation---(I hope)---it couldn't come soon enough....

A very perturbed and fed-up nursing student,
