I just started my first semester in the NP program and I don't feel like my normal self. I have not had a break in school since 2007 and am getting working experience as I complete this program. I work part time, and have a family (3 kids under 7 years old...)
I don't know if it is just me, but I feel like I am having the hardest time gathering up motivation to do my homework. I am almost a 4.0 student, and have never had this issue before. I do not know anyone in my family (or friends) who has a masters degree and I feel as if my mind is trying to sabotage me into thinking this program will be too tough (so why try... bagh!).
I keep pushing through the homework, (little by little I might add) and perhaps I will feel better once I receive an assignment that is graded by the teacher. I keep feeling like I am just spinning my wheels and will ultimately find that I am not good enough to be in this program.
eh....
Anyone have any positive feedback for me? Will this feeling ever go away? I want this so bad... I'm just scared.
I really want to just know that I will complete this program and become a rock star nurse practitioner.. :)

Congratulations!!!!! I'm just waiting to hear if I get accepted into a program. Hard to even imagine havingcompeted one passing the certification exam. So once again.....Congrats! You did it !:-)
I know that this is an old post, but I am in the same boat that you used to be in. Therefore, I was hoping you might be able to give me some guidance. I am looking for preceptors in either Minnesota or Wisconsin to do clinical hours for a distance learning Family Nurse Practitioner program. The hours can be in either family practice, urgent care, or pediatrics. How did you find your preceptors? Do you have any guidance on places that allow preceptors that are not affiliated with local schools. Thanks in advance for any insight.
