Feeling totally dejected

Okay, so I guess this is a normal way to feel after about 6 weeks of NS, but today I'm really down. I am doing fine so far, but I have had a few rude awakenings. I know that a lot of people have trouble transitioning from pre-reqs to NS, so I was expecting to have a big change. The problem is that I just feel.... like crying really... I had a rough day and I am going through all the self-doubt I've read about. I am asking myself all the stupid questions --- Am I cut out for this? Will I make it through school? What's the point - there are no jobs and nursing sucks anyway... you get the picture.

Please someone tell me that it gets better... Tell me that I'll get my confidence back. I try to be prepared and I really put 110% into school. I just feel like I am getting no positive feedback and I wonder if I am even on the right track.

Thanks for listening to me whine. I need to go to bed now, before I really have a meltdown....:bluecry1:

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I am going to try to quit dwelling on mistakes and just take one thing at a time. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to all of you. It helps to hear from people who have survived these first few months.
