Today, I was reviewing for a major nursing school exam I have this week. I panicked because none of the material seemed familiar, and figured that I must've missed something during class and now had to catch up. After 4 hours, I finally realized that I'd been studying from the wrong textbook. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I just studied for 13.5 hours completely outlining a book for history. Thirty minutes before the test, I realized I had been reading the wrong book. FML
Today, after having spent all of last night studying for an algebra test, I find out that the test was on a completely different chapter of my textbook. FML
Today, I found out that I have been studying for the wrong final exam. One more hour until the test. FML
Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML
Today, I checked over my notes from yesterday's midterm review so I could study for the test on Monday. It seems I was so exhausted, I'd done nothing but scribble unintelligibly all over the first page. FML
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, at 4 a.m., I remembered that I had not studied for my Spanish exam. I panicked, jumped out of bed, and frantically began searching for my notebook. It wasn't until I destroyed my desk and woke up my roommate that I realized that I'm not enrolled in Spanish this semester. It was a nightmare. FML
Today, I had a maths test and I realised that I'd studied the wrong topics. The teacher said the test would be difficult and I stayed up till 1 a.m. just to be prepared. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML

It took you 4 hours to figure out you were studying the wrong textbook? Are you sure you have the observation skills necessary to be a nurse? "Yes Doctor, we've had him on the ventilators for 4 hours, but he keeps trying to fight us and remove the tubes". "Well nurse, she's in labor so I would imagine she doesn't really need the ventilator."

Well at least now you are a more knowledgable, well-rounded person...yeah I'm just kidding, that blows, but you probably should've launched a major investigation before 4 hours had passed

I've done that before when studying for a law exam. But not for four hours haha. Not fun at all either way. But hey, its something to laugh at.

Let's hope you're more attentive should you pass and have to review multiple patients records.

I am in nursing school and I can definitely understand how this can happen. Lack of sleep + huge workload = bye bye sanity. Keep up the good work OP! It will all be worth it in the end.

let's hope you don't **** up like this when you're a nurse like "After a couple days I realized I gave my patient the wrong medicine, FML"

hey all, a nusing student is learning, and making this mistake is totally easy to do.. there are reasons nursing school is hard! after 2.5 years of 16 or more credit hours every semester including summer, plus 40 hours a week at work.. there are mistakes that have taught me how not to make with my patients.. just like locking your keys in your car does not make you a bad driver, this too is a mistake that can happen to anyone.. keep studying, keep trying, and there are brighter days ahead!
