Thank you both for your responses! I really appreciate you taking the time to write and respond to my concerns. I think by biggest issue is just overthinking and lacking confidence. I have done some reading online, and have already purchased the made incredibly easy book for the pathophysiology class that I will be taking this semester. If that book proves to be beneficial I will probably purchase others for the other classes I will be taking. Thank you again! :)

Hello all. Long time follower of this forum, however, first time posting. I recently accepted an offer to a BSN program in my state, and would just like some feedback on some insecurities that I am having. I will try to keep it brief. Basically, I received a BS in Kinesiology from a University in my state about two years ago now. Graduated with a 3.2 GPA. Since graduating I have been working as a Medical Scribe (Family Practice) while taking the required pre-reqs. I have received A's in all of my pre-req courses, although they were from a community college. I was working about 50-60 hours a week while taking my pre-reqs until recently; I decided to quit my second job. Will all of these experiences with a previous science degree, working as a medical scribe for the last year and a half, and working two jobs (time-management), benefit me while in nursing school? I think I may just be overthinking things. I think I am worried because my first semester after transferring from community college to university I ended with a 2.1. However, after that first semester my GPA did not drop below a 3.5. I also think I am stressed because I am almost 25, so I feel way behind having to return to school, quit my job, and take out student loans. I also tend to be a perfectionist and focus on the small details, which I use to pride myself on, but now think this may hurt me in nursing school. Any insight or words of wisdom would be appreciated. Worrying excessively about these things has really taken away from the excitement of starting school. Thank you for taking the time to read.
