Confidence as a nursing student?

I'm waiting to hear whether I've been accepted to an ADN program for Sept 2010/Jan 2011 enrollment. I've been working for almost 11 years after completing a master's degree in molecular and cell biology. I've got about a 3.6 GPA (freshman chemistry will forever blow my GPA), got a 90% on the TEAS test, and I feel like I'm a pretty strong applicant. I'm not looking for anyone to blow sunshine up my skirt, I know I've done well academically, but there's a part of me that really wonders whether I'll be competent as a nurse. Academic intelligence is one thing, but I worry that there's so much more to really understanding things to the point where I will be responsible for people's lives. Did anyone here wonder whether they could really handle it before starting nursing school? How did it go? I really think that this is the field where I'm meant to work, but the responsibility of it is really daunting.

    I felt that way. I wasn't at all concerned about the school work. But didn't know if I'd be a good nurse. I reflected on all my past experiences where I've helped people, or where I was cared for by someone and how I felt. And then I just had to try it out and see how I did. I found that I LOVED it, after the first clinical experience, and I was never the best at dealing with people.
