Nervous about my chances of getting into nursing

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello everybody.

I have been reading a lot of the comments on here. I just wanted to speak a little about myself.

I was a good student in high school, but I had a lot of issues with anxiety and depression. For a long time I didn't even think I would go to college because I was so scared and sad. Luckily I was able to push through that and now I'm a freshman in college. To be honest I never really thought about nursing, but the past few months I can't get it out of my head.

Anyways, I'm scared that I'm not smart enough to pursue nursing. I didn't take Anatomy in high school and I didn't take AP classes in science. I hear about all these people having high GPAs of 4.0 or around there and I feel I might not achieve that high of a GPA.

And I know everyone says if you are determined you will go far, but I get nervous and depressed a lot and I fear that will get in the way of doing well in school. I'm just not sure. And I just feel really lost. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

Thank you for your support everybody. I know that nursing is a serious commitment. I guess I am just nervous to fail. Yet I know that I will not know unless I try. Thank you all for your support.
