Am I cut out for nursing school?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I am really close to starting a pre-nursing program but I'm having some serious doubts about my ability to complete it and actually be a good nurse. I'm extremely introverted, and I suffer from anxiety and depression. I am very weak at math and science, and I'm worried that my grades will not be good enough. On top of that, I worry that I won't be able to mentally handle the stress of schoolwork, much less the actual job. Has anyone else dealt with this and overcome it? Am I not suitable for this career? I really want a career that is useful and helpful to people. I want to challenge myself and learn something new and amazing. Everyone tells me it's so worth it in the end, but I have a lot of fear over this. Any advice would be so helpful. I'm 23 years old and just starting college. I'm really trying to find a suitable career that is fulfilling and will allow me to support myself. I'm not married and have no children.

Thank you all for being so wonderful and encouraging! I am feeling better about making this my choice.
