Dreading the Years

Published

Okay so I am really excited to do nursing school and everything but lately I have just felt really discouraged and I feel like school will never end. Like I'll never be able to just go to work. I know it will be worth it but years keep passing and it is just really getting to me. I want to just fast forward through basics and nursing school. Any advice to make me feel better about it?

So you haven't started nursing school yet? It will fly by once you do.

Yes, and by the time you're close to graduating, you'll wish you had a lot more time to study and learn before being out on your own. :)

Best wishes!

I know the feeling! In the beginning it seems like an eternity but it gets better. I just finished my last class yesterday before starting nursing school in the fall and it feels soooo good. Two years of prereqs flew by, looking back! I'm sure the two years of nursing school will fly even faster! Hang in there!

Pre-reqs feel like they take FOREVER to finish. Once you're in nursing school, you're going to say "OMG, I'm graduating in a few months!!!" It goes so fast!
