I am in my first semester and it has been a major shock to the system. I am learning how to rewire the brain and study a different way. I am finding comfort in the fact that we are all in this together and that it takes time. I need to believe in myself.

We are all in this together. Nurses and nursing students are really the only ones that understand the pressures. It is nice to know I am not alone!!

I am trying. lol Thank you though,it is nice to get words of wisdom from others. I am in my first semester so I have a ways to go. I am just overwhelmed by it all. I just have to buckle down and do my best.

I know going to nursing at any age is nerve racking, but for someone who is older the fear of being left behind is very real. I get intimidated by the younger students that seem to catch on right away while I double check and triple check my information before coming to a conclusion. I don't want to say I don't trust my instincts, I am a mother of two teenage girls I have some experience with instincts, but at times I don't believe in myself. I hope that as I progress in the program that second nature will kick in. I put the time in and I want to be the best nurse I can be, but I worry that I am not good enough. Anyone else further along in the process or have a similar situation? I am in need of inspiration!!
