Nervous about finishing

Published

I am a LPN student at MCI NNews and I am so nervous about finishing. I've been on Xmas break returning back on the 5th. I have 228 and Leadership left. Praying that I graduate on April 27th. I work full-time as well. I've been having these thoughts about being a failure and not accomplishing anything. No one in my family is in the health field. My desire is to be a nurse:nurse:. I feel like that is what I'm called to do. Everyone tells me how proud they are. I'm the type of person I don't depend on others alot. I've always been indepent, I'm an only child. Alot of times here lately I find myself being very distant. I want to know I can accomplish something in my life that is good and positive. I want to be able to give back. Just feeling overwhelmed:cry:

Well....

You're preaching to the choir! I've been on Christmas break since Dec 8th and we go back on Jan 5th also. I have Peds/Maternity and Management left to graduate in June 2009 with my ADN. On top of that, I have an ineterview set up for 3 weeks from now. So, I understand overwhelmed. I feel just as you do. To scared to fail to get excited, to excited to fail...or maybe that's just me:rolleyes:. Been wanting this a long time, sacrificed a hell of a lot to get here and everyone is so proud, and heck, you're proud of yourself :yeah:. but it's so close .....so much presure! I'll tell you like my daddy told me: You're gonna do this, because it's not in you to fail. You will finish, you will pass the NCLEX and you will be a nurse.....now stop that worrying, chile.....

Well it sounds like you better change your attitude young lady! Think positive, look at how far you have come. You work full-time and go to school, that is a major accomplishment so far and nothing will stand in the way of you and graduation. I am also an only child and very independent and nobody in my family is in the health field either. Don't freak out now. Nursing school is a long distance race and you need to hang in there!

Have some faith in yourself. And celebrate graduation with champagne!

I can't wait till I'm in your shoes and about to graduate (I haven't started nursing school yet!). The Tidewater area seems like a great place to be a nurse - so many hospitals, so many opportunities. Congrats on finishing your program. I'm sure you have a lot to look forward to.
