Before you start school, do you worry?

I think anyone who want to be a nurse fear not being good enough; however, we can't let fear take over our lives. I fear not being smart enough, so I study, study and study, so I can overcome that fear. I fear driving on expressways; as a result, I pray and drive. I can't let my fear get the best of me!! Good luck being a nursing student and a future nurse.

Hey,

I'm completely the same way. I'm currently one month into my bachelor of RN and I naturally have a personality whereby I worry. I worry I won't enjoy the job, worry I won't pass my exams/prac, worry I won't get into my post-grad, worry I won't have the right personality for nursing/won't be good at it.

Though this being said, I don't think worrying really means anything. It's just how some people are and it's natural to worry about something as big as a degree, because at the end of the day it's determining a career that you're hoping to do till you retire!

I think as long as you stay positive and work hard, worrying is just a background noise :)

welcome to nursing. I worried myself sick all thru nursing school and the first year I worked. I finally calmed down when I saw that even experienced nurses had "off" days and none of us are perfect.

Thank you guys so much. It's good to know I'm not alone! I think a big portion if it comes from me thinking I'm not good enough to make something great if myself which I know is a bunch if crap, I have no idea while I feel like that sometimes lol maybe I can't believe that I'm actually following through with pursuing my dream and I subconsciously try to discourage myself.
