Stress, eager, stress, eagerly waiting and more stress. That is how I am feeling while waiting to hear if I got into nursing school or not.
Here are 11 other things all potential nursing students are probably thinking too.
1. I hope I do well on this anatomy test.....
I cannot afford a bad grade, I cannot!
2. How much would I be spending on nursing school?
Apparently too much...
3. Do I have everything I need for my application?!
Calling my nursing adviser for the fifth time as we speak.
4. Wait... what happens if I don't get in?
I NEED TO STOP OVERTHINKING IT.
5. I think I am going mad.
6. What is the passing score for the TEAS test again??
Golly, I hope I passed it!!
7. I should've studied more for that one test, dangit!
But Grey's was on....
8. After watching Grey's so much, maybe I should be a surgeon....
Nah, who am I kidding, I wouldn't know how to do it all, truth be told. I'll stick to wanting to be a nurse.
9. Breathe. Just breathe. Hopefully they will contact me soon if I get accepted or not.
10. I wonder if there is anybody in the same position as I am....
So to all of the soon-to-be nursing students,I UNDERSTAND what you are going through right now and so do a million other people. It is so, so stressful. At this point, everything we do is stressful! There are going to be times when you just want to call and email the nursing adviser over and over again to check if anything has changed. There will be times when you just want to hit your head against a textbook just hoping you will learn something from it. There will be tons and tons of late nights due to studying and too much caffeine being drank with so little sleep. But we all know that in the end, it will be worth it. Being a nurse will be so rewarding, and we all can't wait until the day we graduate and start helping to save lives.
Good luck soon to be nursing students, our journey will be here before we know it.
