Reality hit

Published

Reality or something hit, I was sitting at the drive in movies last night watching Cars 2 and right in the Middle of the Movie it hit me that I was about to tkae on something that was harder and more important to me than anything else I have ever tried to do. I had a mini anxiety attack going on. MY heart sped up, and I was freaking out for a few minutes. I can't believe its finally hitting me that I am starting nursing school in a month.

I just gotta stay calm. Anyone else have something simular to this?

If you're anything like me and you're honest about it, once you're in the middle of it, you'll have plenty of "what the hell am I doing?" moments as well..

I'm fixing to finish my first semester and I've plenty of self discussions where I ask myself "what were you thinking!!!!" My sister also starts next month and is really really excited/nervous. But in the end, its going to really be worth all of the sleep deprivation, tears, stress, etc etc. The way I see it, God gave me the strength to make it into this program, and he'll give me the strength to get out without my head exploding.

Goodluck!

I've been busy with summer school so it hasn't hit me yet, but I know it will soon.

I'm still at the excited stage, once I get my books, go to orientation, get BLS certified, and buy my supplies I will be at the reality point...

Like you, this is the most important decision in my life and one of the best things that has ever happened to me I'm nervous I will blow it. But I'm so ready!!!

Yes thank you for posting this...as my orientation draws nearer (time just flew by since I last applied) I grow more nervous and I start thinking I am going to fail or is this the right thing to do...not only that the irony is when I decided to apply to the school I did so blindly...I liked the campus, it had a great reputation, and was not too far from my family...it was my mother who said "we are going to claim this school and you will get in"...and I did...it just disturbs me that I will be finally entering into the world to pursue my education which will lead to my career...and it's scary

I don't have anything constructive to add, but isn't it terrible that Cars 2 was so awful you actually had a panic attack in the middle of it? Sorry, but I was disappointed in Cars 2 - I loved the first one so much....

I'm done with school and while I had none of those moments before I started, I had lots when I was in school... Get used to it :o) But you'll get through it. Those freak out moments are probably what will keep you motivated!
