I know this is an old post, but I'm an RN I've been working 2.5 years, I worked in a cardiac care unit for awhile and now I'm on a med-surg unit. I wasn't one of those people who always knew I wanted to be an NP. Now, I do have this burning desire to go back to school and do this. I'm terrified though, I can so easily talk myself out of it and tell myself no I'll just stay where I am, but then I don't want to regret not doing it later in life. I'm afraid of getting into the program and not feeling smart enough to learn the information and then being able to remember it all. I found pharmacology in my BSN program a challenge let alone advanced pharmacology. I really have to work at it, it takes me awhile to catch on. I'm just at the beginning phase, I'm researching programs in my area and what the applications entail. Any advice or words of encouragement from those that have been there? It would be much appreciated. :)
