Congrats! I'll graduate in December with my BSN. I'm getting excited! A little scared, but really excited!

I think this is one of the big things that is bothering me. I can't get away from the work! I'm always studying or doing assignments, and if I'm not I'm thinking that I should be doing something. I'm sure this will get better when I'm more experienced, but right now it sucks! I was also afraid for that transition time, like from student to nurse. I don't wanna be eaten! There are a few people in my classes who have started fellow positions at hospitals, and they have all said that the experienced nurses help break them in and everything. It's just something new I guess. Thanks for the reassurance guys, it's helped me a lot.

Hey guys, I am in nursing school now; I have two and a half years left. Lately I have been feeling really stressed. I know I'm not the only one, and that stress and doubts are normal. All the professors say that nursing is a really difficult course, and that nursing is a huge responsibility. Sometimes I feel that there is just too much work, or that I won't be able to do it. I keep thinking that I've made a mistake in my major choice, and I'm jealous of my friends because they don't have to work as hard in their classes. I really do like nursing, I like helping people feel better, and the hands on parts of it. I did really well in my foundation and assessment classes last semester (I received Bs in both), so I am confident in my skills. I just feel overwhelmed. I was just wondering if, after I get out of school and into the real world of nursing, will it be better? What did some of you do to keep up your morale? Thanks in advance.
