Just wanted to say beforehand.. thank you to whoever takes the time to read this and help me out with my dilemma. I truly appreciate it! :) Okay.. so I am currently in my first year of a BSN program. Going into this program, I was completely sold on nursing and felt as if I was destined to be a nurse. I had no back-up options. I felt that it was the only thing for me. However, I get stressed easily and once I began nursing school I felt like my anxiety level went through the roof. I know nursing school is stressful as it is, but I have learned a lot about myself through this program. Knowing that someone could live or die because of me and that I have someone's mother, father, daughter, son, and most importantly.. someone's life in my hands scares me so much. I'm scared I won't be able to handle it. I know the saying "nursing isn't for everyone" has been around for the longest time.. and I am worried that it isn't for me. I just don't know if I should continue with the program or not. I have been considering dental hygiene, but I am unsure because I am read in some places that dental hygienists have trouble finding jobs. However, personality-wise, I feel that it is a better fit for me. I have no idea what I should do. Current nurses.. please please please help me out! How do you do it? Thank you so much!
