Emily,

I thought more about it.

It is clear that nursing and getting anxious so easily is incompatible.

You need to find out if your anxiety problems can be solved fully.

If the answer is NO, you should not waste time and money on nursing.

You need to switch to being in a crisis mode until you either stop anxiety or change the course of your training.

When you function in a crisis mode, you stop running all optional processes.

I learned the word sexual orientation in college. Not earlier. My experience proves. That knowing your sexual orientation at sixteen is optional.

Presence of mind is not optional if you want to be a nurse.
