I am 23 years old a mother of a 2 year old. I am wanting to become a RN and work in a hospital nearby. I am looking into Austin Community College for a associates degree in Nursing. Is there anyone else who is close in age thinking about nursing? I am intimidated when it comes to nursing as stupid as it sounds i know nurses are there to help but I am terrified I will hurt someone. I want to feel needed and I want to help others. I am very motherly and nurturing naturally. I want to be able to help my family and friends when they are sick and I want to help others. I can overcome my strange feeling when it comes to needles. I know I will grow out of it. I just need to hear that there are others my age who are feeling the same way :/ just some reassurance is nice. :rolleyes:

I am 22, married, and about to start Registered Nursing School in 18 days!! :)

Best of luck to you all!

I am 22. I graduate this December 2013 with my Bachelors of Science in Public Health and I am applying to nursing school for either spring or summer 2014. I have no kids and an amazing supportive boyfriend (who puts up with me when I'm stressed) :) lol I plan on earning my BSN by 24 and then get my MSN.

I'm 20 right now, but starting nursing school next spring, so I'll be 21! lol

Don't be afraid of doing something bad or silly, that is why nursing school is there for, to learn. In speaking for myself, I have no clinical experience but I am sure that I will get the "hang of it" in school. Allow yourself to be a beginner, no one starts at the top! ;)

Specializes in Maternal Child, Home Health, Med/Surg.

I'm 21 years old, I have a 2(almost 3) year old, and an 11 month old turning 1 on the 8th. Sometimes, I get really overwhelmed with the kids, and trying to figure things out. But I'm just trudging through. Hopefully, I continue to maintain my grades, but ugh. lol. There's a lot of things that make me ehh, like I'm anxious, but I think we'll all grow out of it. :p

I feel the exact same way!! I haven't gotten accepted to my BSN program yet, but I find out in October for spring. I'm 28 with an almost 7 year old, and my boyfriends 9 year old. I always fear I won't be able to retain everything for 4 semesters, I fear hurting someone & failing the nclex. All of this is normal, and it means you care!! It means we will be great nurses & just like anything else, it'll take time! Good luck!
