Nursing not for me?

Hello everyone,

I just joined this forum so forgive me if I am doing this wrong lol. I am currently a 22 year old nursing student. I graduate with my BSN next December. The problem is I feel like I do not belong in this career. I do great in the classroom and I can handle the workload. So far I have made it through with all A's, but I absolutely despise clinicals. Please no rude comments, I know its horrible and I am stressed out about it enough. To the point I can't eat, sleep, and just cry about it. Patients deserve someone who wants to be there to take care of them. Is there anything else I can do with my prerequisites? I feel so stuck because I attend a private university that has cost me a pretty penny and I'm up to my neck in student loans. If I have to start over with a new degree I will not receive enough loans to complete it and I cannot pay out of pocket. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't feel like I can make it until next December.

Thank you

I work in the medical coding field and the average pay for experience is between $15-17$, I live in VA in the Hampton roads area:)
