last quarter & worried

[Del07]

So im an lpn nursing student and im kinda worried!!1 im in my last quarter of schhol and its got me wondering did i retain enough information in school. School is so fast passed its like we have test almost everyday and its hard to remember stuff because you have to put everything you studied for the night before out of your head to study for the next test thats gonna be the day after. Does anyone feel this way. I'm bout to graduate and I feel like I dont know anything. Im just scared!! Is this like normal to feel this way? Am I gonna be able to pass boards!!! A little help plz!!!

It's very common to feel the way you do in your last quarter in Nursing School. In some ways you feel like you know less than when you started, which is partly because more than anything Nursing school teaches you how much you don't know. There is probably a lot of useful information that is just sort of floating around in your brain, once you get a better chance to apply it the pieces will start to fall into place.

I'd have more faith in a new nurse that thought they knew nothing than one who thought they knew everything.

I hope there's nothing wrong with you, b/c if there is, there is something wrong with me too. Because I am in my last semester as well, and came to this realization recently. I KNOW NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING
