Words of encouragement!

[bri2012]

So I am going into my second semester this fall and I am sooo anxious!!! I feel like I did my first semester and this feeling is horrible! I was wondering if anyone else felt this way or do you ever get over the anxious feelings?? And also some words of encouragement would be helpful as well!!!

I am about to start my 3rd semester and for me, no it's not going away! ha I was worried and stressed the whole time last semester. We had med surge and it was alot more difficult than my first semester. I am even more stressed about 3rd semester bc I have been told by my previous instructors that its just as hard if not harder than level 2 and there is an even bigger work load.

Sorry, that's not very encouraging! ha But i will tell you this..I thought for sure i was gonna fail last semester but i worked my butt off and I passed! woohoo! Now i just have 10 more months to go and I will graduate. It deff has not come easy to me but I have def made it through! Worries and anxiety and all :)

How about this for encouragement: you're already used to this stuff! I think the first semester is the worst; you're all nerves and trying to get used to everything at the same time.

But you got through one semester, so you have what it takes. You know the routine, and while the content will be different, you know the drill. Best of luck to you!
