Doubting myself...

You are pretty young, and Pre-reqs can be very challenging, they require a lot of focus reading and also encourage a person to review their interest in the particular field. We all have doubts, especially at a young age, it is very natural to have doubts, however, if you are constantly overwhelmed with the requirements, you may want to stick to General Education classes before actually looking to getting into Nursing school. It is a process, and you have to make a wise decision, from what I hear, it gets more demanding in Nursing School. It is not a free pass, once you get to a school.

You have time on your side. You are 18, maybe, once you get to your 20s you will know for sure? what other options have you considered? have you talked with anyone in the field, and other fields to expand your choices?

If you grades are sub-par the only thing that will make you feel better is raising your grades. Double your studying efforts. Get tutoring. Find online aids. Do it, do it, do it.

Yes, others feel overwhelmed at times, too. I don't think you're experiencing anything unusual. Organic chem is tough. I don't know anyone who thought that class was a cake walk. And psychology can be confusing if you're not familiar with the concepts.

Join a study group or hire a tutor, but don't give up. You can do this, and you'll more than likely encounter easier classes on the road to your degree. I second the other poster who said to take a few general education courses. Sometimes these classes are a bit easier because they're subjects taught in high school.

I see you're 18. The transition to college alone can be difficult. Give yourself a break and hang in there!

Like the others have stated, everyone gets overwhelmed at one point or another. Myself, many times already and I've only been in for a year.

Like Enigma stated, make sure this is the path you want to take. But at the same time, it just may be college itself and not the degree program that is the problem of your overwhelming feelings. College is a far cry from high school.

Have you considered dropping your load down to part time? Just take a couple classes for a semester or two until you get into the groove of things. Or perhaps arrange your schedule to have a couple easy (or fairly easy) classes along side the hard science courses. That will help lessen the load a bit.

I also suggest a study group. They can help IMMENSELY! But don't give up. You will regret it later. You have many years ahead of you to figure life out and decide your ultimate calling. Just finish college before having kids, otherwise it's 10 times harder! I speak from experience. :)

I wish you luck.

Just relax.
