And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective denial related to not dealing with what needs to be dealt with as manifested by doing anything possible to distract oneself from studying and making rationalizations to support this behavior.

Nursing Interventions: Encourage student to focus, encourage student to ponder what it will be like if they fail out of school, encourage student to start purchasing fun scrubs now so that they realize they've made an even bigger investment in their education than they already thought they had.

Nursing Outcomes: Come on, can one really fail out of UNM? No....if you do an assload of studying, you can get an A+. If you study just a lot, you get an A. If you have fun while you're doing it, you're still gonna be a nurse, until you purposefully start killing your patients. So keep on keepin' on...
