I am getting ready to start college in January. I have tons of prereqs to do but thanks to a big stroke of luck I'll be able to go full-time, which I thought would be impossible! I've wanted to be a nurse since I was a kid; my mom was a nurse in the Vietnam war and I have been so inspired by her. I've spent the last several years dreaming and planning for my nursing degree and waiting to be able to achieve it.Buuuuut, despite all that... I still don't feel quite sure that this is what I should be doing! Sometimes I think I'm too shy to be a nurse, and sometimes I think the classes and clinicals will just plain be too hard. Other times I feel like I won't be able to handle the responsibility. And yet other times I feel like I should just get a different degree, even though that is not where my heart lies.Are any of you other students feeling like this? Anyone else totally want to be a nurse, but totally feeling unsure all at the same time? I would really appreciate any advice, opinions, or encouragement, thanks!
