Terrified to start my Program...

I'm a student starting nursing this fall in canada. I've already completed a degree in psychology anD I'm extremely interested in the health field. I'm wanting to have a career that I enjoy but I'm terrified of entering my program. I'm doing a 4 yr RN program and I have no idea what to expect or if I'll even enjoy it. I just don't know anymore if I'm even on the right path or if I should just forget going and struggle to find a job with my current degree. Ugh any advice here...

    The best way to find out is to dive right in! Plenty of people start nursing school and drop out because they realize it isn't for them, andothere'sno shame in that.

    Normally I'd say working in a nursing environment might give you some insight, but you're so close to starting...I don't know if you'd have enough time to really get comfortable in a new environment.

    Have you taken some time to think about why you chose this path to begin with? When it gets tough, what's going to get you through?

    I chose the path because I want to help people and I truly do enjoy the health field. I'm interested in many aspects of it and how the body works, etc. Another side fact is where I am from, jobs are limited, but nursing is booming. My current degree is useless in finding me a job here and I do not care to move.. so I figure I can combine nursing with psychology to do psychiatric nursing... if I like it in clinicals.

    I suppose I'm mostly terrified because I have no idea what to expect and I'm just afraid of wasting thousands of dollars again on nothing. I suppose the only resolution is to try and see... but $6,000 to try is a lot of money to find out I hate it...

    I appreciate the input though.
