I'm in the home stretch with only 37 more days left before I finish school and I'm freaking out. 0_o For some reason I am not scared of the NCLEX, it's after the NCLEX that bothers me. Scared to get out there and start interviewing and really scared about landing my first job. Anyone else out there just as scared? I feel like I have spent a year in school but still feel like I know nothing. I'm good at the "skills" part of nursing ie. NGT, suctioning, shots, catheter etc. It's the book stuff that scares me...ie drugs, what to look for etc. I have talked to a few nurses on clinical rotations and they all say they only got 2-3 days on the floor before they were alone 0_0 this scares the crap out of me. I'm going right to PA school after LVN school and part of me knows I should get a job first for a little while but part of me feels like I'm not ready and should do more school (maybe a term of PA school) then start working part time as an LVN.
Is this just normal graduation jitters?
