I'm a Pre-Nursing Student planning to do ADN and then follow with an ADN to BSN. I've been in contact with multiple programs near me and have narrowed down the ones that I am most interested in. I have no doubt that I can meet the requirements and also be competitive for entrance.
The issue I'm running into is I have ZERO support from my family and friends. Which is okay, I guess. Hurtful, yes, but not deal breaking. I have some insecurity issues and the things they say make me feel like maybe I won't belong in this field. I am generally pretty quiet, I prefer to think before I speak so I'm not overly bubbly. I am assertive when I need to be but I don't really have the "smile that lights up a room" per se. I am also not exactly the prettiest person in the world. I know that sounds completely shallow and stupid, but I mean, honestly... I've never met a nurse that wasn't above average. I am concerned I would never get past an interview, despite the skills I may have.
I know I have the brains for the classes and the job. I also know that I have a desire to serve and care for people, nursing has always been my passion. I'm just worried about not being the right fit in this world.
