Hi Everyone, I've been having a dilemma lately that I hope the wonderful nursing community could help me out with. I was in SF State for nursing. Took the TEAS and didn't pass all my tries which means I couldn't get in the program. Pandemic hit and I decided to go LVN school. It was tough but it was going good until I failed my second term. Got back in the program and finished term 2. But I hit a wall in my final term. The self doubt really set it. I was questioning why I was there and why I kept trying. My mind went to a dark place and I felt I couldn't handle it. I consoled with my family and friends who most happen to be nurses and they insisted I keep going but supported if I left. They believed in me so much that I could be a nurse, but I just couldn't see it. in myself which ultimately lead me to drop out. I was just so tired and lost hope that I couldn't be any good of being a nurse. That was about a year ago, I've been working in another industry but something inside of me is telling me to give nursing another try. Through this time I realize how wired my mind is towards healthcare. It would make sense, spent half of my life around nurses and working towards it. I have a fresh mind now, still some self doubt but I'm slowly gaining interest in nursing again. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
