First of all you need to take a step back and atake a deep breath. it does seem overwhelming at first. I started back in the fall for my first year. i am going to vatnp in va. I felt the same way. i am 30, married with a son, and felt "why am i doing this? i should go back to the lab" (i am a phlebotomist). But after a semester it is not so bad. our instructors are great, and it will be worth it when we graduate. The best advise i can give you, during you school, always always always make some time for you to just relax. Even if it is just 15 min, take a bubble bath, go for a walk, and don't think about anything, just relax. As for the uniforms, ours is white as well. they cannot be scrubs, they have to be a button down top with a collar, and the pants cannot be draw string. We are actually trying to get this changed, but at this time we are stuck with white. Just relax, and enjoy the carrer path you have chosen.
