I decided late in my college career that I wanted to go into nursing. I took my CNA course before I started college because I knew I wanted to go the medical route. I worked home health for a while, then moved onto hospital work which I have been doing for a few years now. But working in the hospital has made me really question my decisions because of my inability to handle crisis. Usually I'm pretty good being able to handle things, but sometimes its difficult. I was in the room with one of my patients when they collapsed on me. I was able to hold the patient up and I called for help quickly and was completely fine (worried, but fine), but once the nurse arrived and we got the patient up I was in full panic attack and had to step out of the room. Just makes me worried for how I would handle situations when I'm in charge as the nurse.
