Perhaps I should clarify this is NOT orientation. It's a two hour morning session.

So I've been lucky enough to be accepted to a few ABSN programs (yay!) and their Accepted Students Days are approaching. My parents really want to go. They aren't overbearing, they simply want to see the schools and learn about the programs. However, I don't know how weird this would be? Since ABSN students are older, I don't want to be looked at strangely for bringing a parent. I understand why they want to come, but I also don't want everyone to look at me negatively right off the bat. Thoughts??

Hi everyone! I'll be (hopefully) entering an ABSN program in the summer/fall and I'm very nervous! I've always done well in school so it's not really the academic part that worries me. I know it will be hard, but it's a challenge I'm familiar with and know I can handle. I'm worried about the clinical aspect. I don't have much human medical experience - I actually worked in animal hospitals - so I'm very scared of messing up, not knowing what to do, etc. just all around feeling like I'm not good enough to be a good nurse! I have a feeling it's a fear that only gets better with experience, but I would love to hear if anyone else felt or feels this way? When did it get better? I just want to make sure this is a normal worry and not a sign that maybe nursing isn't right for me! Thanks everyone!
