I am starting school in the Fall. I am not in the nursing major het. But I am going to work on getting my gpa up. Anyways, I am terrified about starting school,especially nursing. Sometimes I question if I am smart enough. I am ready to work hard and study my butt off. But I'm not sure if that's enough.Has anyone ever felt this way?

Sometimes it's hard not to feel that way but just take it one semester and one class at a time. If it means enough to you, you will push through and keep doing it even when you think you can't. Congrats on making a start though and I wish you tons of luck! :)

I agree! When doing my prerequisite classes I worked really hard to focus only on the class I was taking. In my more difficult classes I just focused on making it through another week.

I have felt that way many times! It is a long road ahead, whether you are doing LPN, ADN, or BS but it'll be worth it in the end! Never give up on yourself and keep trekking.

one step at a time! I am a 33 yr old mother of 3 (my kids are 3, 2 and 1). i went back to college for the first tiem in 13 yrs last year, and was terrified....that i wouldnt be as smart, or i would be the oldest there, etc. I am starting the LPN program in a few weeks.....and terrified, but i know i can do it! and so can you! good luck!
