MrsTomy

So I am in nursin school and this week and next is full of finals. I wake up and i do pretty well, I exercise when I can...but as the day progresses and my stress progresses it isn't ending up well. By aroung 9 pm i a so stressed, anxious, and upset about having studied all day, fI'm eeling unpreparred, and overall just freaked out...then a study buddy (or my fiance) suggests something aweful (burgers, ice cream, etc) and I just cannot resist!!! I do well all day then in a weak (stressed) moment i ruin the whole day! It has been 4 days in a row now (mexican food, burger king, ben and jerry's...) and I feel terrible. i wake up in the morning refreshed and swearing I won't do it again and i do!!!!! HELP ME! AS IF FINALS AREN'T STRESSFUL ENOUGH...I DON'T NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT TOO!!!!!!

I feel your pain I too am a nursing student and all my finals were last week....but I made it and actually lost 2.4lbs! not to mention cleared all my classes with high B's....You can do it. But I seriously know what you are going through......And I don't know about your school but at my school you have to pass your math and sciences with a 73 or better...which is good but more stress.....Hang in there and you will be fine....

zen :happy:

You have to mahe a 75 or higher test average to pass each class. I am taking MedSurg, OB, and Community right now...Today i have the MedSurg HESI (mini NCLEX on only that subject).

Its just so much to review!!!!!

(By the way...<75 F, 75-83 C, 84-90 B, >91 A...so that adds EXTRA stress!!!!)

Hey I need to write finals and give them to a group of Teenaged ESE students who "know" more than I do :noway:

Finals kill me as well.
This week is my last week of classes, but being a music major (how sweet it is...) many of my classes have more than 1 final so I have to study for those finals this week, which is when all of my final projects and papers and EVERYTHING ELSE POSSIBLE are due.
STRESSFUL.

I don't really find much time to workout. I'm so bad. I stay up all night, go to class all day. I just have to look at it from a student's point of view and just try to keep eating right and exercise when possible. I can't expect myself to be perfect all the time and this is when my hard work really pays off - I realize that the changes I've made in my life are starting to stick. I find myself eating healthy food while I study and actually noticing when I don't workout as opposed to before when I noticed when I DID actually workout.

Exams are hard, you'll get through them. My boyfriend is in nursing school and he's pretty stressed about his too. He's also taking the MCAT fairly soon, so I have to deal with his stress for that. Gross.

Anyway, don't let exams get you too down. You'll be back on your feet next week, just do what you can and study study!

good luck!!!
