First day tomorrow - nervous wreck

Published

Tomorrow is my first day of nursing school. I am a nervous wreck and am almost sick to my stomach! Tomorrow I have a nursing study skills class and A&P 1 with lab. The rest of the week I have a clinical and a nursing fundamentals class. Just looking at all these huge books is so overwhelming. I have always been an A/B student which is good because below 80% is failing in my nursing program. I have never been this nervous about school and classes ever before.

Wow... I remember those day-before-the-first-day-of-nursing school jitters! I'm experiencing them on a different level now, tomorrow is my first day of my LAST semester. And before you know it, you will be in my shoes. I've always had issues with nervousness and anxiety, which I learned quickly that it was in my best interest to control. There are many things you can do to control stress, just find something or several things that will work for you. You will rely on them heavily! You can see by the many nurses that post, that people make it through... so can you! Good luck!:wink2:

Tommorrow is my first day, also. I am nervous, but REALLY excited, too. I'm so glad I don't start clinicals until NEXT semester, or I'd really be nervous.

Good luck to you! Everything will work out. :yeah:

Thank you for sharing tonight.

I go back tomorrow too. It'll be my 2nd semester though, so while I am not as nervous as last semester, I still have a certain level of anxiety. Good luck on your first day everyone, you will do great!
