Are you nervous about getting out in the "real world"?

[BETSRN]

I have 2 months until I graduate and I'm starting to have mixed feelings. OMG! This is so strange because this is something I've wanted FOREVER!

I haven't worked (besides being a wife, mother and student) since June of 2001. I'm starting to get really nervous about working. No more summer days with the kids, having to work (I've ALWAYS loved working - being with other adults, etc - but now - I can't figure out my feelings). I am hoping for 3 12-hour shifts so that I can spend the summer with the kids like I've done the last few years. I know - this is the real world. I don't know why I'm feeling like this. I'm tired of being a student, but I've gotten so used to it. I'm 31-years-old and I have to grow up - AGAIN! AGHHHH!!:smackingf

The REAL world is MUCH better than nursing school. You'll be glad. Just take it easy and relax. Good luck!
