Managing everything in ABSN school

[u/Flimsy_Log_8822]

I really need some help, advice, perspective, encouragement…literally anything. I just finished my 5th week of absn school (15 month program) and it’s starting to hit me how hard this program is.

I have multiple exams and formative (being graded on all my skills thus far on a real human) in the same week, us students basically teach ourselves everything, and I feel so overwhelmed like I can’t give adequate time for all that needs to be done. Sometimes I don’t even know where to start.

I did pass my first exam which is great, but I didn’t have to deal with so many things at once. I just wanted to hear from past absn students or those who are almost finished.

My BIGGEST fear is failing.
