Now That The Application Is In...

[PhysicsBabe]

I submitted my application in the middle of April and I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem as me.

Now that all the classes have been taken and the application to get in has been submitted, has the stress of getting all done been lifted or are you wondering now that it is all said and done, do I really want to be a nurse.

Sometimes in the last couple of weeks I wonder since the focus is off finishing the prerequisites with the best grades possible and now I just have to wait is this what I want?

My friends say I am just trying to prepare myself in case I don't get in, but I don't know.

Anyone else?

I think there's always that moment of panic when you think "What have I just gotten myself into?", but for myself, at least, I just remind myself why I wanted to be a nurse in the first place. Nursing wasn't my first choice when I started college (I already have a previous degree) but I got into nursing because I realised I wanted to have a career that offered stability, good benefits, and something that would allow me to feel that I was making some sort of difference. I start nursing school this fall so I still don't know how exactly I'll feel once classes begin but I hope this is the right decision for me. My best advice would be to just take the time you have now and search inside yourself and see if you think this is the right choice for you. Remind yourself of why you wanted to get into this field to begin with and then also think about my you may not and go from there. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
