Do I expect to fail?

Life changes can often result in fear, anxiety or doubt. I think if you changed your mind (PTA) when it came down to the final judgment (acceptance/rejection) these feelings may surface again even though you've taken a new path. Spending all of that time preparing, sometimes means spending all of that time worrying if you're good enough or if you will fail. All you can do is your best and if it's something you want keep trying (raise GPA, re-take a pre-req) if the results aren't quite what you wanted or expected.

Whatever u don't don't give up. U will never know if something is for u if u never finish what u start. I completely understand how you feel. I'm a very moody person and with those moods come change in mind and self doubt. I feel that nursing is a calling for me, so I can't give up. When I have thoughts of giving up or feeling like maybe I can't do this, I pray and The Lord reminds me that I can do ALL things through His power. He strengthens me everyday and I continue on this journey and will continue until I reach the goal :)

Throughout my 20's I too attempted numerous degrees. Then I decided to go to Nursing School. First, I became a CNA. Then I took my nursing pre-reqs. I loved all my science classes and during my first semester of nursing school I thought that maybe I was more into the science/ medical part of it than actual Nursing. It wasn't until the very end of my 1st semester of nursing school that I became excited about Nursing and realized I made the right decision. Now I'm an RN (new grad) and even though its a HARD job, I can't see myself being anything else ,(except a biologist BC I love Biology) Competition in many areas of the country is fierce right now, but I'm still glad and confident I made the right choice.
