I am almost done with my third semester of nursing school. Only one more semester left and I can tell you with confidence that your self-confidence will be like a roller coaster. There have been more times that I've felt incompetent than I've felt confident. THIS IS NORMAL!!! You won't feel confident as a nurse until you have at LEAST a year of practice under your belt. But take heart!! That doesn't mean you weren't meant to be part of this amazing profession! You will build strong friendships with your clinical peers and when you are on that ledge, they will be your lifeline. You can do this!!
