Did all you Nurses out there feel this way?

So I'm getting ready to start my final semester of Nursing, I've done great so far and aniticpate to continue with my good grades and graduate this May. But I can't shake this feeling, call it a little voice in the back of my mind, it's a haunting scary feeling that....once I pass my NCLEX (God willing), and get a job, (again, God willing), what if I'm a horrible nurse? What if I forget everything I've learned over the last the four years? What if I make a huge mistake? Along my journey I have met so many awsome Nurses, my Clinical instructors are great, many of the floor nurses I have been paired with just amazed me. What if I'm not half the nurse that they are? In plain English "What if I suck"? So I find myself fighting with this feeling day in and day out, it's mentally exhausting actually, and many times I've thought that maybe I should just drop out and find another line of work. I started Nursing school because I felt a calling 5 years ago, and it is my dream to help, comfort, and touch the lives people around me. If anyone has had a similar situation, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Maybe I'm just crazy :uhoh21:, Nursing school has been known to do that to students LOL
