Are you a student still or are you a nurse now?

I agree with an above post. Not to sound mean, but if you can't pass A&P for the second time, you should probably change your major. Nursing classes are no joke.

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am currently starting nursing school (for the second time) in a couple weeks. I was enrolled in a community college nursing program 2 years ago, but I quit with only 2 full semesters left for an associates degree (RN) I transferred schools and had another major for a year and half, but I missed nursing so I decided to go back. However, this time I was accepted into a BSN program. I'm a really good student. I had a 4.0 for a year and half and then my GPA dropped to a 3.75-3.8 my last 2 semesters at that community college (which were the two semesters I was enrolled in the nursing program) and that was my last GPA before I quit nursing school. When it comes to studying, I study a lot and I'm very anal about details. I have to study everything which drives me crazy because the material in nursing school is a lot. I also tend to be a bit clumpsy. I get so nervous when I have to do something during clinicals. I also worked in a dr office for a while as an office/medical assistant and I don't think I was very good at my job (my boss never said anything...I just got that vibe). I would also be so stressed out that I would do something wrong and it would affect my patient (during clinicals as a nursing student). Most days, I couldn't wait until clinical ended so I would not have to be put in that situation. However, I think that's only because I didnt have much experience as a new nursing student who had clinicals for only 2 semesters. I really love medicine and science and the fact that this career combines it with face to face patient/person interaction. I just get nervous because I don't have much confidence in my abilities and am not one to handle a situation with confidence when needed. But at the same time, I just think that's because I'm inexperienced. Do you think I'll get used to the nursing environment and eventually be able to become a great nurse or do you think my personality just doesn't go with nursing? Thoughts or opinions?
