I scheduled my test date. July 25th at 8am. I went on a downward spiral emotionally yesterday after I got off the phone. I guess the reality of it all hit me. Changing careers, leaving my comfort zone of my job I have now, taking the NCLEX...then the thoughts of "what if I can't do it?"
I am very scared about the 'newness' of being a nurse & the unknown. However, I am trying to keep my anxiety under control and use my fear to motivate me to be more attentive and learn a lot from my preceptor. Funny as this sounds, I keep telling myself that it's not like I'm going to be the president or anything!! I think being the president is one of the hardest jobs in the world, no matter what you do, someone is going to criticize you & disagree with your decision. So, if there are people in this world who could muster up enough courage to want to be president, I think I can muster up enough courage to be a Med-Surg nurse at a community hospital.
