Great. Well I'm sitting here balling my eyes out. I feel like a failure. I guess I can't freaking do this.

I am one confused student. Right now I am getting my CNA certificate from my college as it is a pre-req to even applying to nursing schools. I'm already becoming a little disgusted with some of the work I'll be doing as a CNA, (mainly vomit ) but I keep reassuring myself I won't be a CNA forever. I didn't realize how hard it is to get into nursing school! It looks like I may be wait-listed for up to two years! I really don't like the idea of being a CNA for two years, so I was thinking of getting my LPN then doing the advanced course afterwards from LPN to RN. My main concern is math. I am not the best math student but I AM a hard worker who is willing to give it my all and spend tons of time studying. Not to mention every school around here (Washington State) has different pre-reqs, so I STILL have to take some more classes. I am so compassionate for people and am truly interested in nursing. I am just so fearful of waiting for two years for RN school and weary of whether or not I'll even find work as an LPN. Will it be worth it in the end? Can I ever get into nursing school? Should I start applying in other states? Can anyone give me some words of advice or wisdom? I am feeling so dissapointed and angry with myself today.
