The program that I am in, we have school as well as clinical hours in a hospital. It’s very draining, you go and have your clinical spend all day running around trying to figure out what is what. You get home and have to reign yourself. in to study. I live in an area where we don’t have that particular type of education close. So about once a month there is traveling out of state and having crash courses within 2 days and you are sent back to fend for yourself on your studies.
So it gets pretty crazy. There are times that I feel like I have to fight with myself to keep moving. My energy levels are not where I feel they should be. Most days I feel like I swim through a viscous substance. I force at times my body to continue to push itself to do what it needs to preform. It is very exhausting, and frustrating. I try not to say anything because there are those who are single mothers or are taking care of family that are able to hold down a job or two and are making it work. They quietly help push me to continue.
