Specializes in critical care.

I'm afraid this hard work will be for nothing because employers will be too scared to hire someone with a broken spine (something I didn't know about until 2.5 years into my BSN).

Specializes in Endocrinology, hopefully.

Due to medical expenses, my husband and I had to file bankruptcy. I'm terrified that my credit score will prevent me from getting a job :-/

That due to a 20 year old misdemeanor I will be at the mercy of the BON in regards to my license. I can finish school, pass my NCLEX and be denied my license.

Awesome. Nursing (and the schooling required) does have a way of making a person fearless...perhaps too fearless at times!

failure. Simple as that.

Failing any of the last 4 classes I have left

:***:

And getting a job...

Failing my summer chemistry class or statistics..

That all this hard work and I still wont be able to get a job. That being said, first steps first, I am afraid to fail.

Failing....my first clinical starts in two weeks....my clinical teacher cannot stand me and she is looking for any reason to fail me....the anxiety has been overwhelming

Killing someone. Is no one else afraid of this??!?! I work in ER...what if while I'm tending to my tension pneumothorax, my unassuming ABD pain turns into a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and I come back to find them dead?!?!?!
