How to gain confidence for an ABSN progrom

[anxiousnurse22]

I have been accepted into an ABSN program but still have to complete the prerequisites. The program places you in a prep phase and then once the courses are completed you start directly into the program. I know I should be excited because nursing school is very competitive. Unfortunately, A&P 1 will be online due to Covid 19. I recently have developed a lot of anxiety about nursing school due to everyone saying how difficult it is going to be, especially an ABSN. I am prepared for this and plan to live at home and not work throughout the 16 month duration. My biggest fear is ultimately coming from fear of failing. Silly right? I just could use some advice on how to succeed in the program and not let my anxiety get the best of me.

I do believe that part of my frustration stems from me not choosing Nursing originally and having to go back. I am only 22 and definitely have plenty of time left in the field. I am an average learner. I was never one in undergrad to get A's on all of my exams. I just would love to hear from others who felt this way and how they managed.

Luckily, I have only heard positive things about my program/college from current students saying that the professors provide a lot of support and that they do really want you to succeed.
