Hello, I'm a freshman in a university and I'm doing prerequisites for nursing. I have been having major doubts about being a nurse. I not sure what to do. I always thought nursing was for me. I know I am capable but i do not if I can handle the pressure. Some of my fears are not getting into nursing school. I've had major anxiety since I have enrolled into the university. I cry everyday. I can not focus. I ended up dropping a class because I fell behind due to my major anxiety. I have been to the emergency room twice in two weeks because of how severe my anxiety has gotten. I am homesick but I do not think its just that. Every since i was little i wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. My passion has always been helping people. I'm scared of becoming sick because of my profession. Nurses are exposed to so many things. But then i think if it is my passion i should not care. I'm scared of not retaining the material. All i know is that i want to work in a profession where I can care for others and meet their needs. What should i do?
