I'm 19 years old. I started college in the Fall of 2003. I loved it at first, but now i'm starting to feel lost and confused about being a RN. This didn't happen until I started A&P1. My instructor wasn't good and I didn't get through it. I'm on academic probation and i'm doing okay in A&P again. I feel like i'm not learning anything of value right now and i'm constantly stressed out. I'm planning on taking CNA training in June, partially because I've always wanted to do it, because I need the money and it seems I can't get a job anywhere else. And sort of because I need something to fall back on if Nursing doesn't work out in my favor. I just feel like I don't know what to do with my life at this point. A part of me wants to be a RN and part of me feels inferior to the other students when they talk about their grades. After completing the CNA training, I have the idea of doing that for a while until I figure out what I want to do (if I want to stay with Nursing or not), but I don't want to disappoint my parents because they have spent all this money on my education. Is it normal to feel this way? Have any of you ever felt like this? Anyone want to exchange emails and help me gain motivation and positivity back? Someone help..
