This seems like a funny thing to be asking for prayer about because its summer and Im not in school so I shouldn't be worrying about all this but I seem to be...

Im really overwhelmed with a bunch of school related things. I just got my forth year nursing placement a week ago in obstetrics and surgery. I am excited but really nervous because I know there is so much stuff I need to go over and learn before September. The pathophysiology part has me really frustrated because Im having trouble memorizing all of it. I am not ready to just be thrown in there yet. I also just got all my new books to start studying for the RN exam next summer. There is so much stuff I figure I would start early. I have a CPR course Im doing next week and there is a written test for that. It just kind of hit me time flies and I really am going to need to know ALL THIS INFO. Next semester I have a placement in psychiatric nursing and in school we don't cover that area anymore so I have to do all that preparation work on my own too and I really don't have any idea what I should know before I start that because I have never been there.

I was looking through my CRNE book of multiple choice questions and feeling so incapable of ever absorbing all that information. So basically I just need prayer to be able to just take all this one thing at a time and not panic over all of it at once. I knew my forth year would come and all this talk about 'exam prep' would arrive its just I didn't think I would be this freaked out when it all happened.

I know I made it this far its just that Im starting to feel like I am not going to be able to handle this....I feel like Im just not as smart as I need to be to do this....

You can do it! I have been down similar roads in the past, & I have found that once you dive in, things seem to become easier.

The part that throws you is all those "unintelligible" terms! It's like, where do they come up with these words?!?! But the more you become familiar with it, it all starts to fall into place.

Unfortunately, there's no short answer, just study, study, study!

@ yes, I will pray for you as well!
