I just got into nursing school and I’m thrilled! Very exhausted and overwhelmed mentally, phyically but overall still happy ![]()
My friend and i are both 21 (really young) and are now in nursing. Problem is, she’s a SLACKER.
Now that we’re in nursing school, my work expectations of myself and my classmates are high. I take this seriously and do NOT take this for granted b/c i know how hard it was to come this far. On the other hand, my friend isn’t very “enthusiastic” about it (not that you have to be) but it feels like she’s just “there” because she “has to”, not because she “wants to”. During class she’ll receive and respond to texts fr her new boyfriend who she is just STARTING a relationship with. In nursing, they already warned us we won’t have social life but she still doesn’t understand the sacrifice and still goes out; thus her work/preparation is behind. I feel her “big sister” than a colleague b/c most of the time she’s oblivious to what we’re doing and I have to be the one to inform her. People in our class already have notions about us that we’re slackers. I have been working hard and have been trying to be with everyone else and stay on top - been socializing w. ppl in the class and active in discussions but b/c my friend and i are always together, they associate that w. me being a slacker.
I feel like she’s bringing me down. SHe’s my friend but at the same time, she’s a grown woman - it’s her choice if she wants to be pro active in her education. It’s hard to communicate w. her b/c she’s so passive/senstive - she’s gives attitude if she feels offended and takes it personal.
HELP!
ok how does this fit under “singles and dating”?
