Thanks for the reply. :) How interesting you said that... In my public speaking class we recently watched a TED talk and it really stuck to me when Amy Cuddy said "Fake it till you become it."

Hey there, It's clear to me that I lack a lot of confidence, and tend to overthink things. (Yay for anxiety disorder!) , but How did you guys as nursing students find that confidence to be able to make it in the program? The nursing program i'm applying to is super competitive and impacted. It seems like a good majority of the prenursing students I talk to are super smart and it really discourages my chances of actually becoming a nurse. There's times where I have a little confidence and say, "Wow! I actually might have a chance!" But then I get back a test with a grade of a C. I'm also starting a part-time job soon to start saving $$ and actually be able to pay rent so that also makes me more anxious about trying to balance school and work. If there are any tips you guys have for confidence I'd love to hear them.
