Is anyone else nervous about starting nursing school???

Published

August is coming up soon and classes will be starting in a blink of a eye....as time gets closer I'm becoming less confident...Is anyone else feeling this way...Is it normal to be this scared....

I'm both scared and excited. I already got my textbooks so I started to look at them. I don't know what I was expecting but looking through my drug dosage calculation book made me feel better. I'm pretty good with math and conversions. Looking through med-surg on the other hand, a little scared. But eager to learn!

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Im excited to FINALLY be in after taking all my pre-reqs and finishing my associates degree, but Im nervous now because I feel like now its about to get REAL serious. Haha. I don't start my actual nursing classes until January, but I have to start my Care Partner course August 27th. So here we go!

I've been waiting and preparing for this moment for many years so I am super excited for next month! I'm only taking Pathophysiology and Therapeutic communication my first semester but maybe I'll feel more nervous once I start clinicals.

I am ready to get this started. I received my acceptance for the NS program the second week of June and the wait for August 17 is making time creep. I need to enjoy the slow pace because the next 2 years are going to be non-stop! Good luck and congratulations everyone!

I'm actually anxious and excited for next month. I don't want to psych myself out so I'm staying positive about it. We have a med math test the first week of school and I'm excited because I took a med math previously and it all makes sense. I've bought my textbooks, most of my supplies, now I'm just waiting for orientation. I've already studied and reviewed the material that my program wanted for this summer. So I'm going to relax and enjoy the rest of these weeks because Aug 22 will be here before I know it. Good luck to all of us who'll be starting nursing school next month!!!! Enjoy the rest of your break, do something fun before the semester starts.

I was sooo excited when I received my letter. Then our first orientation was a bit overwhelming because we were given so much info but yet I was still excited. My problem is that I get anxiety. So now Im so anxious because I have 2 kids, ages 18 (in college) and 10. I've already prepared them as to not bother me when I'm studying because it's very intense. Im already trying to formulate in my mind how I'm gonna breakdown my 24hrs everyday:eek: effectively. I think my biggest problem is that at 36yrs old with 5 yrs of going to school part-time to get into this program Im NOT going to succeed. I have friends that are nursing students, nurses, and nursing professors(maternity) so I hear all the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everyone always tells me that I always stress out and come out doing very well but I feel that the non-nursing career seekers dont have a clue! There is no craming, studying the nite before, failing a test or 2 and still blowing the class out the water and I believe at my school(CCBC Essex) and grades below a 77 is failing:banghead:......but Imma keep the faith, be positive, and optimistic...I think lol!
