Hello everyone, I feel like hiding under a rock and staying there...forever. I am very discouraged. I just took off the blindfolds and realized that maybe im not good enough for nursing. I love this career but sometimes we are not capable of doing the things we want no matter how much we try. You are either cut out for it..or not...there is no in between. I went to a four year college after High school but i was bombarded with many things from being first generation college student, to family problems and taking 16 units my first semester. I had really bad studying habits and i didnt do well in my classes and now i feel it has ruined my chances at a career in nursing. My first semester i got: Microbiology D Anatomy D Psychology B Freshman English B+, B Speech B college studies A I took Anatomy over and managed to get only a B+ and a B in microbiology. I study soooo hard and my grades dont reflect that. Now i think my chances of getting into a nursing program are slim. In the other classes ive taken ive gotten: critical thinking B- Diversity in Sociology A Sociology B Child/human development B Human Nutrition C+ Abnormal Psychology A Physiology B My grades are good compared to my friends with less stressful majors ... but its not good enough to become a nurse. I was reading other posts and i feel so discouraged... i dont have a great GPA like most of you do. I'm scared! Ive invested all this time and effort and its just not good enough. please anyone out there give me some hope...is there hope for me?
