Just became fearful

dee78 · Apr 10, 2008

Just take it one day at a time. I will admit that I go through times where I'm anxious about going back to school, taking care of 3 kids, working fulltime, and taking care of the house and everything else. I read some of the stories on here and it does make me question myself, for a minute.

But then I read the stories about others doing it and I KNOW that I can. I know that I am strong enough, smart enough, and determined enough to do it. I can and will succeed, I'm just going to remain positive about it.

You just have to get your mind in the right place.

Hi

I too felt very nervious last summer when i first started going to class.I had so many things to fear at that time. I was afraid that i would fail and it was on my mind constantly.

One of my many reasons was because i did very poorly in high school (D's ,because i never studied) and i was afraid of repeating the past my second reason was that English is my second languge and I've never experienced or attended any college ( thinking that I wasnt smart enough for school) especially in the US. I had to also deal with the different teaching methods.

I had so many fears that I had to confront and voices that i remember hearing as i was growing up that I was'nt smart or good enough. With the Lords help i got through I overcame my fears. Right now Im maining a gpa of 4.0. So I will tell you PLEASE DONT WORRY. You think about it allot and i can tell that it that you really want this. And with hard work I know that you'll be fine . So dont worry ,when your class starts you want to be relaxed ,confident and not stressed out .A couple of months from now ,you'll look back and wonder why you were wearing yourself out by being worried (thats what i realized.) YOU WILL BE OK.:icon_hug:

Help please.....tell me something that will clam me down.....

You are all over the place. Formulate your plan, pick your school, pick your classes, outline it all.

Everything else will click after that.

Relax. You have a supportive husband which is more than alot of people have. Also, just take it step by step like what bicster said: formulate your plan and then run with it. If you are determined to do this you will make it. It's a hard process and it never seems to end. There is always something else we need to get done before moving to the next step. Pre-reqs, TEAS/NET exam, NS program, NCLEX exam and so on but you know when we finally make it and reach that point, you'll be so proud of yourself at your accomplishments and who knows what your husband may even give you as a reward for making it through. Personally, I think as an incentive everytime you reach one of those do lists goals, reward yourself with something cool to keep you going. :yeah: That's what I do. Like right now I just got into the RN program for Fall and as a reward I am going to buy myself one of those cool Littmann stethoscopes and engrave with my name. :rolleyes:

Thanks so much for all your words. I am moved to successed. I know that with all the obsitacles you had to face and made it I will too. Reading all the post here has helped me a lot. I did not do well in high school and I was worried that I would not do well here. But if I apply myself I will keep up good grades. Now can some one give me a start on how to Formulate your plan, pick your school, pick your classes? I know that in choosing a school, I should look for things that I like about the school but how do I know what that is? I am not sure about the classes but I think that will fall into place once I have a school. Now formulatint a plan that one I need lots of help with. I feel better today then I did yesterday. We are moving to Atlanta and I will have to look for schools there. I was going to attend in Nashville. Dose anyone know of any good schools there? Atlanta is new for me. I don't know anyone there and I have no family real close. My in-laws are moving to Pensacola, FL in May. My brother-in-law is a pastor and he has a new church there. I googled it and they would be about 5 hours drive away. That is a long drive so I will not get to visit them much. Having a support group in Atlanta would really help.
