Hi everyone,

I'm new here as well as in the Nursing Program. I'm two weeks into Nursing School and I'm soooooo overwhelmed with the amount of work that I have to do!
I had to quit my job to be able to attend to my family (I'm married w/ a daughter) and school full time.

I read on one of the post here someone saying they are scared of the unknown.... I can definately relate! Even though Nursing School is lots of work it's also fun!

I have my first clinical in a few days and I have o perform my first full assessment on a real patient not just classmates and I'm a nervous wreck! How do you get over all these feelings of nervousness and overwheliming? Any body has any advise?

Congrats on your new adventure!! I too, have a family and 2 little ones while i went to school. I had a blast though, going to school was one of the best experiences of my life!! Enjoy it, even though it is hard work, it makes it a lot easier if you are having a good time too!!
