Where do I belong?

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

I am an LPN to RN student starting school in January. I have been an LPN for 11 years working in clinics. I want to get floor experience as an RN so one day when I have plenty experience and confidence, I can travel. I feel like I’m too picky though. I have to write things down a lot to remember them especially if I’m anxious. So that’s scares me. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I have heard horror stories about Med surge and really hated those clinicals in PN school. I like the thought of Labor and Delivery but that might be because I had a really good clinical experience once.  I am scared of ICU but intrigued by it. Admittedly though, I’m not super tech savvy so all the drips scare me. I can’t do pediatrics because my son being very sick and almost dying traumatized me and I cry at the sight of a sick child. Ugh, Where do I belong? Any positive advice? Please don’t say I don’t belong anywhere, I feel lead to go back to school even if I don’t know where I'm going. Thanks for any help you can offer!
