Wondering Mind

Welcome to the wonderful world of an INTJ :welcome:

All that chatter is just your head making sense of things. The trick is to not get caught up in the internal dialog; it's OK to worry a little bit because that drives making plans, so use that energy to make plans!

And with plans, even "just in case" plans, the worry goes away. That and a cup of tea.

I often have those thoughts in my head too. I am also an INTJ. I found the only thing that helped relieve me of my stresses is putting my stressors into someone else's hands. There was a time, not too long ago, where I would worry day and night about what nursing program I am going to go to, or what should I do until I start my nursing program. I am not a very religious person, but I am somewhat spiritual, so I put it in God's hands (whoever that is.) I am now focused on completing the CMA program that I am in, and then starting the ADN nursing program at my college in the Fall of 2013. It will be 2015 before I will achieve my goal, but it sure beats worrying about it all the time. I do think you should reconsider community colleges. They often offer top of the line ADN training (usually have higher NCLEX-RN pass rates than most BSN programs,) you could work as a RN while finishing your BSN on-line (which btw, you can do ADN to BSN 100% online,) and the benefit of this would be that you will have experience when applying to these graduate level Nursing courses, and let's not forget that most of them require at least some experience.
