The first days

NOTHING will prepare you for the wall you are about to hit when you attend your first few days of nursing school. Yes, you might be a straight-A, intelligent, hard working type of individual. but you are a fool to believe that anything will come easy to you the next 2 years. Your world of fantasy will soon change. Bedmaking sounds like an easy enough job right? WRONG! For those who have no experience in the medical field whatsoever, be prepared to feel like you know nothing.

The amount of work is overwhelming. You feel like your not up to speed, you're nervous, everything you touch feels unnatural. This is not what you thought it would be, and you just can't see yourself putting up with this much stress. You can't get organized no matter how much you try. You are left to learn pretty much on your own, READ everything, WATCH every video, becasuse you have no idea what is expected of you. Expect to have a nervous breakdown....everything else will seem so insignificant. You feel like you can't breath and your running out of time.
