Stressed/Lost/ frustrated

[Shirt]

Let's see where to start..... Well, I started school June 2008 I decided I wanted to go the RN route. I managed to pass all my pre-reqs (gpa 2.92 math killed me) and even taken a few core classes (Nutrition, Sociology etc) I can take patho and human growth and development. Oh oh and I still need to take my boards for my CAN (been putting that off silly yes I know)

Now I come to realize that if accepted into the Rn program it is a 40-hour a week thing. I cannot afford to work yet I cannot afford not to work. So I took a term off (3 months) to figured out what my options where and to be honest I didn't see many except for work on a minor (medical assisting) or take out a huge personal loan and get a roommate. My Girlfriend stated that that might not be the best decision she might have been right.

Long story short I transferred my credits into a(don't shoot me) CMA program .A few of those classes will transfer back into my nursing core (Human Growth) and the intro to Patho will prepare me for the Rn version of Patho. I also thought maybe this would be good incase I decided Nursing was not something I wanted to do but at the same time I feel like I'm ******** out (lack of better words sorry). I feel as if I'm further from my goal now than I was before. The plan was to (hopefully) become a CMA save some money then pick up where I left off with the RN since I left myself right in the middle.

I dunno my thoughts are all unorganized and I really just feel like quitting because I'm not where I want to be (no im not a patient person) I won't quit of course but the thought has crossed my mind. I'm 25 will be 26 03/31 and I just feel like.... Gah I don't know it just sucks

Any suggestions, motivation and or inspirational stories? Im sure I'm not the only student that has gone through this
