LOL. Is this you? I imagine nursing school makes everyone nervous. How nervous were you when you started school? Are you still nervous today? Please describe your day to other students. You may be surprised that there are others who feel the same way. :)

I wouldn't wish nursing school on Satan's dead cat. I really hated nursing school. I love being a nurse and I'm more than a little resentful at feeling forced to return to school for a BSN.

I wasn't nervous as much as excited. I knew this was what I wanted and was ready to get on with it! However, as this year has progressed and the classes have become more difficult, I find myself extremely nervous and agitated at times...except during clinicals! I LOVE my clinicals!

I just started two days ago and the day before I started I swear I thought I was coming down with the flu!! I ached, lost all appetite and just want hide and never come out. Now, I'm excited to see what the next weeks to come hold for me and my classmates. I just look forward to joining the workforce as a proud nurse!

I just got into an ADN program that starts in February. When I got the acceptance email a couple weeks ago I screamed...I was in public and I terrified everyone around me hahaha!!! But since then I've been super anxious and nervous and rushing to get all the leg work done in time. I am always anxious and worried when it cones to school and I always wonder if I did everything I could to get the grade I wanted....so far it's worked out for me, I had a 4.0 in all my science core prerequisites when I applied for the program.

So now I always say, if you're not worried then you're not doing it right!!! :)

I recently started my BSN program and at first I was overwhelmed. I actually got very sick with colitis from the stress which triggered it. I was in and out of hospitals and ER's. I even missed my first lab! I eventually got better and I learned how to cope with it and be organized and stay on top of things. I passed all of my classes and this semester I start clinicals. I am very excited but nursing school always makes me nervous. Attending a clinical, taking an exam, or starting a new class. It never fails to stress me out. :)
