In need of some encouragment

Hi everyone!

I got into my associates program a couple of weeks ago and I am very excited, but also very nervous! I did great on my teas, and our pre-reqs for this program were A&P 1 ©, a stats class (B+), English (A), a SDV 100 course (A), and then a life span development class which I received a C in because my professor dropped it a whole letter grade from a B due to exceeding one more absence than I was allowed (very upset about that).

I guess why I am nervous is, because I feel that my pre-req grades just aren't good enough. I'm not sure if I am being too hard on myself considering I was accepted, but I don't know why I am still so nervous about this upcoming fall. Has anyone else felt similar to this before they started NS. I get that my pre-reqs for this program are quite easier than a lot of other programs which is maybe another reason why I feel like this, because I could of done a lot better since they are much easier courses than others. If y'all have any words of advice it would be greatly appreciated. I know in my pre-reqs I didn't study as much as I should have and I definitely know my studying habits will be changing especially since I am finally on my career path like I wanted.

Any words of encouragement, tips or stories of still being successful in nursing school even though at first you felt like you were not up to par would be fantastic!

Thanks!!

I felt like the actual nursing classes were easier than my pre-reqs. I feel like nursing school is a lot more busy work.
