I have always wanted to be a nurse and love caring for people. I was so thrilled to go to school. I am in my third year for nursing and I feel so inadequate. We have learned so much in the last 2 years and I feel stupid.
I look at my peers and they seem like they are just getting everything so easily and it comes so natural to them
It just all this information is overwhelming!
I don't know. Have you guys felt like this? I cried today. and I feel like crying some more.
I got my midterm mark back today and got a B and I am bummed out even more. I know its not just the mark (and that just because someone gets good grades that it doesn't necessarily mean they will be a good nurse), even if I got an A I think I would still feel inadequate. but I just ah.
I don't know. This is what I want to do and I am passionate about it, but I just don't feel like I am good enough
Thank you very much everyone for replying! I really appreciated it. I am going to talk to my doctor soon and just see what I can do. But as of now I am taking it day by day. I still don't feel like myself, but I am going to get through this
Please know you're not alone! I'm in my 3rd week of nursing classes (I'm a second degree student), and although I know I want to do this, it's SUPER overwhelming wanting to do things that you realize you have no idea how to do! I had one of those meltdown type days today just now...wondering how I'm possibly going to know everything I need to know, and why I seem to not be "getting it" as much as some of my classmates. I wish I had advice for you right now, but just know it's NOT just you.

Oh gosh, my spelling is so bad on that post! bottle = bottom. Apparently IoS7 is trying to humble me as well!
