This quarter (my second) we will be starting meds and learning IVs and such. Even though I just had a month off, I'm tired from all the catching up I had to do with my "real life." I also an mentoring a 1st quarter student and I'm scared I won't be able to help her with what she needs. I think, with a day away before the next quarter starts, I'm afraid I will have forgotten crucial things that I should have carved more time out to review in the meanwhile. I'm mostly afraid of the unknown of a new clinical site.

Do you feel like you settled? I had originally gone for pre-med but due to time constraints and a desperate desire to get into something medical I managed to get into the nursing program at school and, even though I am only about to start my second quarter, I feel like there are still amazing opportunities ahead of me and that if there is "something more," I am going to find it in nursing. I don't know how I'll feel when I get to where you are at but I am trying to embrace it all and I no longer fear that "having settled" feeling like I initially had when I was grieving the death of my med school dream.

I'm in my last year of nursing school, and the only thing I'm afraid of right now is missing a due date on assignments! :)

As someone who just started earlier this month. Failure. Killing someone. Dry cracked hands from washing them so much. Not passing NCLEX and not getting a job. Stressing out about bills from not working as much. Working too much and neglecting school.

Afraid that my profs wont be able to help us much: program changed to Concept-based and this is the first semester they are teaching it. They even told us not to read ahead because theyd have no clue what to do

Semester 1 and we already did Tach suctioning & care, IV next week, then NGs, Foleys, then Meds right after that... we are doing more stuff than 2nd and 3rd year students in our first semester :no:

As a nursing student, I am most afraid of any setback for my final semester of nursing school (i.e. medical, grades, any unexpected crisis) and not finding a job easily after school.
