To carry on or not?
Well, after spending a very sleepless night, the question today is, do I go on with this bridge program or do I not? I'm posing this question to myself after receiving news back on my first academic paper. What a disaster! I wonder, is it worth putting myself through this stress at 50 years old? (Boy, that sounds old today) Right now I don't think so. I really enjoy learning new things and as we all know in nursing it is all about learning new stuff, but right now I'm thinking that I am in just a little over my head on this one.I wonder if anyone else is having these doubts? If so I sure would like to hear from you. And now it is off to the work I love best....Nursing at RMH.

I think we have all felt this way at least once or twice since the start of the program. 20 or 50, fresh out of school or not. We are all going to see a dissapointing grade or many throughout the course of our education. I think when we are having doubts we need to remember, we could be doing this on our own in a class full of strangers. We need to take advantage of the fact that we are all co-workers and work together, as if we would at work. You have my respect for furthering your education at this point in your life, don't let your age deter you. If anything, you should be proud!
I agree with Mackenzie 100%. We are all going through different stressful situations we are all working, having babies, getting married all things that cause us a lot of stress. As Mac said we should take advantage of the fact we are all doing it together and we need to have group get togethers outside of class to vent and reflect on what each of us are going through. Be proud of who you are and what you are doing to better yourself regardless of your age! We will all see bad marks, but we need to move on and strive to do better on the next assignments, and use each other for support.
I agree!! We all need to stick together. This will be a challenge but we can do this..
We do all get bad marks...remember when I called you crying about my schooling mom and what did you tell me?? STICK WITH IT if it is your dream and what you want to do. It was one paper that turned out not so good and maybe their will be more and maybe not but I know you worked your butt off on that paper! You need to give yourself more credit... all of you doing the program do...you have families, homes to take care of, work 12 hour shifts and your taking universtiy courses and mom you do it all with a smile on your face:) Follow your heart and do what makes you happy, do not stress yourself sick or you won't be happy...no matter what you decide, we will be proud of you!
