Last semester before graduation

Published

Today I start my last semester of nursing school before I graduate with my ADN in May!!! I cant believe how much excitement and nervousness can try and take over at once.

Is it normal to feel so unsure? I have studied very hard to make it this far and have not had any major setbacks but it is scary to think of how soon school will be over and I will be out there on the floor and having to apply all that I have learned. The transition between student nurse and RN seems quite nerve wracking right now.

Isn't it great to be near the finish line? I remember when we found out we got accepted. Now we're almost done. May can't get here fast enough!!!!

What you are feeling is totally normal. Excited, scared, unsure, and many others. The thing is most of your training begins once you land your first job. I am right there with you. I also graduate in May, May 30th to be exact. Good luck and it's almost over! Only problem is getting the RN to BSN done :( Sucks that everywhere is requiring it more and more.
