Hello all! I'm so sorry I didn't get back sooner! I finished my second semester and just started my third semester (Yay!) I definitely still have anxiety but feel much more competent :) Thank you for all your advice!

Hello, I am in a four year BSN program and am in my second semester of actual nursing school (Junior year). I am having a lot of doubts and anxiety about nursing. I am a very good student and have a 4.0, but this semester is so hectic and I can't seem to get into a good organized schedule. I feel like I am just going through the motions and cramming for everything. But what I am really worried about is applying the material like med-surg and pharmacology. There is so much material and I feel like I am just memorizing information for a test then forgetting it. Did anyone feel like this when they were in school?? Every time I get into clinical I feel like I am just going through the motions like taking vital signs and charting, ect. I feel very numb this semester and I am afraid I am not going to retain any of the information presented to us this semester. I'm just not sure if I want to continue, change my major, or take some time off of school! I've never felt this defeated, help!
