I am in my junior year of nursing school and it is just as difficult as everyone said it would be. However, I am only 6 weeks in. I just had my first exams for all of my classes of the semester and they went well but not as well as I would have hoped. No matter how much I study, how long, how much information, practice questions, its doesn’t matter, I am not going to do as well as I want to. Personally, I am not a good test taker. I lose focus and I tend to dis-regard important information that I need to use to answer the question. But I am sure that you all have seen or heard people joke about what nursing questions are like but unfortunately it is so true. All of the answers are right and you have to pick the best answer. These questions are hard and there really is no easy way to do them other than knowing all of the information you could possible know, and then applying that information. After having all of my first exams of the semester in about a week (and after studying a lot), I realized how much more I need to study and to manage my time better. It has been so stressful and I know for a fact that it is not going to be an less stressful with the coming weeks but I know that I have to keep my head up. There is so much going on and so much to learn and I just have to focus and to breath. All of us nursing majors have to remember to put some time aside for ourselves, or we will go insane. It is not going to be easy but if we really want this, we will do everything we can do to achieve and accomplish this. Never forget who you are and why you are here!

I completely understand the hardships! But just know that everyone else is in the same situation too and it kind of makes it a little less stressful knowing you aren’t alone in nursing school. Its such a rigorous program and I hope you are remembering that when we are done here we can make such a good impact in the world!
