I have worked hard for the past year and graduated from an lpn program, I passed my NCLEX and have been licensed since this past feb. I have been successfully and fortunately hired at every job i have applied for and it all has boiled down to where I want to work. I have a decent job, at excellant pay with a great CNO! I have had so many fortunate things happen to me. My dilemma? I have recently begun having what i call anxiety attacks! To the point that I have been unable to attend work. I have gotten up, gotten ready, driven to work and breaking down in tears in my car because i cant muster the nerve to go in, all to turn around and drive home in tears not understanding what the he** is wrong with me. I noticed it began about 2 weeks ago, at first i was able to fight it thru and make it thru my day, but now its like i am afraid to try a new day! I have an appt. with my CNO this next week and I am embarressed and at a loss as to what to say to her, she must think i am nuts! I've missed 2 days work because of this, and its not like i dont need the money, my better half was just laid off a week ago. On monday i am making an appt to see my physician as well. Any ideas? Am I the only one that this has happened to?
