My nursing school freakout #2

So I freaked out about nursing school, again. My first freakout being a few posts ago. So naturally I searched the web for comfort; and found it! (here)

Admission Success Step One. First, if you haven’t already done so, make a thorough examination of yourself as to whether you really do want to get into nursing school and become a nurse. Do you know what becoming a nurse entails? Spend a few days, or longer, doing this self examination. Just make sure that becoming a nurse is really what you want to do. The following may sound cliché to you, but it is very true: so many people just rush into nursing school just because everyone else is and because they do not know of what else is out there. So do take a little time out of your busy schedule to reflect if this is what you would like to do for the rest of your life. There is nothing wrong about being a nurse. You may really like it. Just make sure that your temperament and personality fit this type of job and that you know what a typical day of being a nurse is like.

In conclusion: If nursing school and becoming a nurse are really what you want, go for it! Don’t be afraid of the competition because often, people say they want to go into nursing school and succeed in it, but do not really expend the time necessary to get in or excel once they get in. On the other hand, you will be prepared because you have made up your mind to do the best you can. Do not be deterred of all the other keen students applying because there will always be spot for the determined.

My fear is gpa. I learned to get over it in high school. I didn't have to get a 4.0 to succeed, above a 3.5 was good enough. But with 4.0 nursing applicants being turned away I am feeling the worst pressure ever. *big breathe* *pause* It's what I want to do so there will be a spot for me. I am determined.
