Four Months, exactly, from today I will be graduating.
This graduation comes after two years of "nursing school symptoms" as we like to call them:
multiple panic attacks
A couple large breakdowns
depression
anxiety
irritation/frustration/pissed-offness at patient and teachers alike
weight gain
increased hunger
unhealthy diet
increased alcohol consumption
increased blood pressure
tachycardia
decreased irritation tolerance
hating the world
the best natural high after a (good) day on the floor
spontaneous uncontrollable yelling and/or crying
additional increases in alcohol consumption aggravated by dumbass teachers/patients
G.I issues
migraines
losing the willpower to go on
additional increases in weight
stress eating
pity eating
depression eating
anxiety eating
classroom eating
clinical eating
Marshall street eating
Marshall street drinking
Ask any nursing student and they will name atleast half of these (most likely all) as symptoms of the average Nursing Student in the two years of Hell they endured (and questioned) as nursing school took over/dictated their lives/lack of lives.
but...with any luck. 4 months from now, these symptoms will be resolved. Until I start the Nurse Practitioner's program....
Those aren't the lyrics?
