I am a little scared or intimidated. I have a CNA course to start in March. Its really going to be an eye opener! I have never had a class nor worked in the medical field. I am anxious to see how I will do. Wish me luck! Also, for those of you that have your CNA I'd appreciate any advice.

It will be fine. I was scared too. But its mostly common sense stuff. I am pretty sure it will be fun.

Spring Semester starts on Jan. 18, so I've got a little time to prepare. I'm taking Art, Sociology, Statistics and Spanish 1 this semester. This is my last semester at my local college (hopefully!) before nursing school starts next fall, so I'm trying to wrap up some of the random classes I lack for the BSN transfer program.

The semester here starts Jan 12. I will be taking micro bio on t-th from 1pm till 7pm... its an 8 week course. Then on MWF I am taking spanish (just for fun) and I have general biology online the 2nd 8 weeks just to pass the time. Micro was the last nursing pre req that I need before getting into nursing school. I am so ready to get this show on the road. I am already trying to figure out my work schedule when/if I get in :-) I am actually getting scared that something is going to happen to make nursing school impossible... I know I just need to get past the what if's and just roll with the punches if something does happen and make it work out. Its just such an important part of my life right now and I am worried to death about it.

I am actually getting scared that something is going to happen to make nursing school impossible

This is what I'm scared of too! I've worked so hard for this for so long and now that it's almost here, I'm afraid something is going to happen to de-rail all my plans! I know the 2 years I'm in school will be hard on us financially and I can just see something major happening that will make life so much more difficult (a car breaking down, our a/c going out, or something else incredibly expensive). We've saved for 2 years so we'd have a good chunk of money available if we needed it, my kids will be all attending school full-time, my husband's job is pretty secure and he's been there several years, there are no MAJOR changes on the horizon, but still....I just worry! :uhoh3:

I think the major part of the worry for me is all of the *unknowns* going into this. I've never been in school full-time and away from my family. Will I even get accepted into the program? Will I be able to cut it if I do get in? Will I like it or will I totally suck at it? Will I be able to get a job after I graduate? Aaahh!! :eek: I've got to get out of my head or I'll go crazy!!!

Yup same worries here! :lol2: I bet when we get through with all this crap all these worries will seem like a fuzzy dream. :-)

I feel the same way! I am eating like I'm already in school and I havent even gotten a letter. Ugh my mind thinks too much!

I guess we are all in the same boat, I have been doing mock schedules for school/work/study time for months. The only worry is my job being flexible enough to help me out. I have worked late, changed my schedule, etc for them so I think it's fair?? but I worry about that all the time.
