I hear you too, im so tired. Im studying for med surg, and pharmacology and some days I just feel like giving up! I feel exhausted and i too question myself if this is really what i want to do. I guess the answer is I do. I want to become a nurse and make a different in other peoples life. I guess just remember what a nurse does and why you chosen to become a nurse. Also right now were just in the tunnel but there is always a way out of the tunnel and theres is a bright light shining towards the end. Just know that in the end, it will be worth it. Even for the money issue and the job, dude trust me, I know. I am dying in school loans and no having money and not being able to find a job either. But everything will work out in the end. We are all in it together right ? :) GOODLUCK

Hi, okay I am a second year Nursing student in a bachelor program and well, im very scared. I feel like i dont know anything.. but i do. i know my assessment and i know how to make the bed, bed bath and different focus assessments. Today I went in for orientation and just the amount of info we got thursted with scared and overwhelmed me. Seeing the utility supply room, I didnt know have of which was used for or what it even was. My other peers were relaxed and two of them knew (mainly because they are repeating second year again). I like working with people, i like to help but now im so scared, i feel like maybe im not cut out for this. this whole day i was thinking about any other career that might be suitable for me. Although I had no reason to really be scared, my instructor and all the RNs on the floor were very nice and encouraing, I can't help but be scared. How do we start of the morning? Everymorning I understand we talk vitals, but what else would we do. and every morning what assessments would we conduct. basically what and how do I go about the day? Im so nervous and scared i feel like I might get everything wrong. I feel stressed going to clinical once a week for 7 hours then coming home and studying for 6 other courses. Im scared, Im nervous, i dont want to fail and I dont want to hate it. I doubt i hate nursing. Even now when I ask myself, do i hate nursing? The answer is No. i dont. Im just scared and i guess my fear is just so heavy its overshadowing my confidence. HELP!
