I'm Afraid I'm going to hate nursingRating: (votes: 0) My clinical instructors have all been...not so nice to me besides Peds and Maternity. The one i have currently compares me to other students and tells me to my face that im not confident about medications when i know i am. She also compares me to other students: according to her my skills are far behind others. I have very bad anxiety, and i've been having nursing school regrets for the past few weeks. It's almost the second week back from spring break and i just can't get motivated. I'm doing what needs to be done but I've just upright lost my passion and respect for nursing school. I'm supposed to be in a high-ranking school. But all my peers talk about are partying, drinking, being obnoxious in general while I enjoy my quiet, book-reading, nature-walking activities. I think i eventually want to do education. But i have one semester left, that was mostly paid by my parents, and i can't let their money, or mine for that matter go to waste. I'm just mostly afraid of not being passionate in the future. I'm worried that i won't find my place in nursing and that i won't be good at skills or even enjoy doing it. Anyone recently graduate or hasn't been a nurse for long: can you verify anything for me? I just need help and there's not a lot of people to help me where im at right now. :C It sounds like you are young and nursing will be your introduction to the full-time adult working world with all of its stresses and responsibilities. That is a major life change, so of course you will be anxious. Chances are you would be anxious in any job facing the big change, so maybe it isn't just nursing. Don't worry about your partying peers. Lots of us were never in the party crowd. The quiet book-reading crowd rarely makes their life as public as the party sort, so we are less visible. You will find us in nursing too.Give nursing a chance. Try and make the best of it; maybe you might amaze yourself. Comment: You are young and it's intimidating to know you're going out into the work force, but it is honestly not as horrible or complex as it seems to you now. My perspective is slightly different bc I was a CNA for five years and worked in the hospital for most of nursing school. Nonetheless, it will get better and it will NEVER matter if someone doesn't believe in you, just be yourself and be a sponge.Comment: Nursing school is hard! it is normal to feel love and hate nursing school from time to time. Do not feel discourage, you will be a great nurse. Have faith in yourself!!!!Comment: Quote from snow22Well here I am, a semester away from graduating and I am unsure about nursing. Nursing school has really thrown me for a loop. My clinical instructors have all been...not so nice to me besides Peds and Maternity. The one i have currently compares me to other students and tells me to my face that im not confident about medications when i know i am.

Nursing school is hard,but you will get through it. Think about why you want to be a nurse, concentrate on that. "This too shall pass...hang in there!
