I think my biggest problem is that at 36yrs old with 5 yrs of going to school part-time to get into this program Im NOT going to succeed. I have friends that are nursing students, nurses, and nursing professors(maternity) so I hear all the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everyone always tells me that I always stress out and come out doing very well but I feel that the non-nursing career seekers dont have a clue! There is no craming, studying the nite before, failing a test or 2 and still blowing the class out the water and I believe at my school(CCBC Essex) and grades below a 77 is failing
......but Imma keep the faith, be positive, and optimistic...I think lol!
I understand how you feel completely! I am 37 and just spent the last 3 years completing pre-reqs. I have 3 children at home, 2 on the spectrum, and I am just praying that I am able to get the studying I need to done at home. My biggest fear is the same, having come this far, what if I fail? BUT, we need to stay positive and just remember to stay on top of things, don't procrastinate, and do our absolute best! We came this far, we can finish this!

Jul 12, '12 by >JustBreathe<I am ridiculously excited!! I think nerves will come more as the date gets closer. But I have worked so hard to get here (as I'm sure we all have, that's why we're here!) I just cannot contain myself. I want to read student blogs and watch student vlogs and look at supplies and try on my uniforms all day long!. I feel like I'm going into nesting mode trying to deep clean my house before August 20. Nesting...like a pregnant woman. As if Nursing school is my new baby...time to freeze some dinners for the family.
