I am torn between pursuing or not pursuing nursing. I was in the program for a little while but left because I was not sure if this was for me. I had anxiety and fear that one mistake can cause harm to a patient or worse. I decided to look into other health care options, but I still go back to nursing. Any moment I had encountered; either it was an emergency with a family member or friend I always go back to what I learned in nursing school and try to stay calm and help them in any possible way. Having that adrenaline rush is fearful but exhilarating. However, my only setback is this anxiety that I have, and worries me that I won’t be able to function properly when it comes to treating a patient. Using an analogy, today I went driving and had to switch lanes, unfortunately, I had to speed a little to cut in front, the car behind me honked and it made me realize if he pressed the gas just a little because of my mistake we both could have been in harm because of me. It taught me a lesson, but it also haunts me that I committed this. This is just with only driving, what if I make a mistake in nursing as I did with changing the lanes. It would haunt me, but this taught me to be cautious. I guess I just need to know these feelings I am having is this normal?
