Thank you so much for your kind words :) I have a backup plan lol if things do not work out I might just do public health but will see because right now,since I failed my clinical, people are reviewing my case. It's intimidating :/ I am happy you took that step! For me even considering moving away from nursing is a bit frightening. Actually my best friend wanted to be a doctor since she was tiny and she had the courage to change major. It takes a bunch of courage in my opinion. Is sad to say that I do not have a gut feeling..mm :/ I know some people have a super duper strong gut feeling is mind blowing at time haha But again, thank you so much for your respond :) it means a lot. I will definitely have that in consideration :)

Thank you for your time :) That is the plan. I am in the paperwork in getting a certification to be a nursing assistance. I agree with you, I think working as a certified nurse will help me be inside the hospital and see the dynamics. I am just very conflicted because I feel like I need to decide what to do I just want to do a profession that I can live happy with. But thank you very much :)

Hello everyone! Thank you in advance. This is my very first thread I make so please be patient with me. I been visiting this page soo much until now I decided to ask. Let me beginning by describing my self. I considered myself a nice,caring,compassionate and friendly person but I feel like nursing is more than that. Im currently enroll in nursing school. I finished my second semester, but I did whoever failed my OB clinical. The reason I failed was because my teacher felt that I had at risk safety for patients. My last day of clinical, I did not use the bulb syringe correctly after both my nurse and my teacher showed me (I was just so nervous because the baby was vomiting). Another reason was because I placed a blanket inside the shower of my patient to prevent from falling. I wanted to make a "mat" for her. Instead I flooded the bathroom because I was dumb enough to put the blanket on top of the drainage. Anyways. I was naive when I got into nursing school thinking everything was going to be nice and chill. I dragged clinicals because I felt incompetent. I love helping people but I think I have other options when it comes to professions. I must be honest, I am a pushover and shy at times. I am not assertive and a super softy. As I read stories from other nurses I get nervous and my heart starts racing just to think that I can be in those situations. I don't think I would be able to handle them. I came to questions the actual meaning of happiness in nursing school. What do I really what? What will bring me happiness? I don't want to be stressed and I want to keep my sanity and so far nursing makes my legs feel like noodles and i get this anxiety that gets trapped in my throat all the times. I just feel bad that Im in the middle, am almost there and all that money :/ My only consolation is that as a nurse I can work in different areas. All I ever wanted was to be a nurse and travel abroad and help people all around the world, I sound so naive. I wanted to be a nurse practitioner but I think my grades aren't going that well to be competitive.If only I can work as a nurse doing public health or anything! that is not in the floor...that I don't need experience to deal with all those doctors and nurses... I know I am scared but im trying to be realistic. I know that i will probably end up crying right there at the spot. Im just confused and really worried. I don't want to quit nursing and regret it later, but I don't want to quit and regret it late lol im impossible. Thank you for reading :)
