School starts tomorrow!

Published

I've been really anxious today about school starting tomorrow. This is my first semester in nursing school and I think I'm psyching myself out. I keep telling myself that I can do it, but I still can't shake this anxious feeling. I think it is fear of the unknown, not being sure what is going to happen. I've been told so many times that nursing school is nothing like the pre-req's I had to take and I can't decide if I'm excited about that or if that makes it even more scarier! I hope I feel better after this week is over and the routine gets more normal. I just needed to get this out! I'm excited and scared all in one!!!

Try not to worry! Just remembet that all of your classmates are just as nervous as you are! You aren't alone. Come back and tell us how your first day goes!

Get to know a few people, they will be your support system. I am starting my last semester. Nursing school will come to an end one day.

I can so relate to you...Im so anxious as well, school starts next week for me and as the days get closer, the more nervous I get. You are so right about the "unknown" part. I mean is it as hard as everyone makes it seem? We will just have to figure that out ourselves. Maybe what someone considered "hard" another person may consider easy.

According to my sister who is a RN (graduated form the same NS school I will attend) said NS is easy to some and hard to others..it all depends on your own individual experience.

Just think positive thoughts, it will be fine. Good luck :)

First day of school was good. It was a long day of lecture (8-3) mostly going over the syllabus and handbook. I'm ready to get into the nursing stuff! I find out Wednesday where I'll be doing clinicals, which I'm excited to find out where I'll be going. I feel a lot less anxious today then I did yesterday! Excited to learn as much as I can about nursing!

Awesome :) Keep us updated on how it goes, I love reading about people's first experiences with clinicals, classes, etc... we haven't started yet (3 more weeks!) so I am living vicariously through you all until I get my acceptance letter and all that jazz!
