Hi all,
Just started BNursing at the Uni a wk ago and still feel abit left out. Being a matured-aged student, have different background(I was born overseas) is hard enough to make friends and to find a common ground. Aside from A&P subject, I get confused with the other 3 subjects which are all enquiry-based learning and the hard part is to work in a team. We're allocated a team with different discipline like 4-5 students in each group to work together in four subjects this semester. And I found it hard to connect which is very unsual for me because I work very well in the team, mostly my team member are just finished yr 12 and I feel so alone. It's affecting my family too as they always believed in me and I sacrificed so much to study again at the Uni. Sometimes I get so depressed,sad and thinking to quit. I don't know how to survive in first year especially being a mature-aged student. I just don't know what to do,maybe I will talked to the student counsellor and I feel like embarrashed about that too..
I just need someone to talk or any advice guys..ta
