For those waiting to take Nclex, how nervous were you?
I have been a CNA for 18 yrs, yet always dreamed of becoming a nurse.
Well, I am almost there. I graduated LPN in July.
But I havent applied for the Nclex yet. I keep procrastinating.
I am comfortable in my role as a Tech, and I just do not feel I am capable in the role of a nurse. I watch the nurses I work with, and all they have to deal with; pts, families, meds, charts, new admits....It's overwhelming. I just do not know how they do it. And I feel there is noway I can.
Is this normal ?
I am not sure which scares me more, taking the Nclex, or being a nurse.
