I am starting to feel overwhelmed and I haven't even been to my first class of the semester. I've been struggling to find my 3 preceptors for the semester. I have to have one from Pediatrics, one from OB/GYN, and one from family. The only easy one to find was Pediatrics. After many, many days of phone calls and leaving messages and plain out pestering folks, I found a Family care preceptor. Now all that's left is to find OB/GYN. I have made countless phone calls and most people just aren't taking students. It really sucks. I may have a lead though. I will just feel so much better when I get it all situated.
I'm also a little overwhelmed because one of my classes is Pharmacology and when I was in undergrad, it was my worst class. It really stressed me out & I feel like I just barely passed. I remember calling my mom like everyday stressing out & crying over that class (among others).
When I start getting stressed like this, I wonder if I've actually gone insane by being back in school...but as always I come back to the fact that I've wanted to be a doctor/nurse practitioner for as long as I can remember and I'm just not satisfied being a nurse. I think it's even more insane that I am already contemplating getting my DNP (Doctorate of Nursing Practice) a few years down the road. As much as I hate school, I love the thought of knowing all I can know in my profession, and going as far as I can...Being on top of my game. Or maybe I'm just a glutten for punishment...who knows.
