SuniRN

Hi guys, I recently started an accelerated BSN program (I'm in my second quarter now) and I'm about to start my first clinical. My school is a new school, we've only graduated 5 cohorts so far. We recently got CCNE accredited. I love nursing. I want to be a nurse so, so bad it's all I think about. I am so CONSUMED with what happens after I graduate. It's getting really bad. For instance.... I am OBSESSED with my resume. I obsess about what I'm going to wear to an interview. I browse job openings on a daily basis, in class. I badger the career counselor all the time. I stalk the alumni of my school on Facebook. I am so worried that I won't get a job after nursing school because my school is new and isn't well known. The anxiety is so overwhelming sometimes I can't stand it. My classmates think that I'm a freak, I haven't made that many friends so far because no one can stand how up-tight I am. I feel constantly pressured to be perfect and I feel like if I'm not perfect I'll never get a job. I am so terrified of failure. Everyday I read posts about new grads who can't get hired and it scares me so much. If there's anyone out there with any advice for someone like me you don't know HOW much I would appreciate it.
