Well, its getting close to this time of year again. With each day that comes closer I get more stressed and more panicked. I am in my second year of college, but it seems like with each semester my stress level rises, it kinda makes sense though cause it gets harder. I especially fear this year though. I was accepted into the nursing program that only 30 out of 380 students were accepted into. If you get below an 80 percent on a test they have the right to kick you out. I know I am thinking the worst but I can't seem to help it. What if I get an below 80% on my first test and they kick me out? After all the money I spent, whats going to happen? I'll lose my scholarship and everything if that happens. I can't afford to pay the school back. I'm so scared.

I hear you.

I have been having some of the same what ifs that you are describing and I haven't even been accepted into grad school yet.

There must be a pretty good reason that you were one of the thirty students selected into your program. I think it is normal to have anxiety particularly with a major like nursing.

Take a deep breath.

Thanks Yoda
I been trying to take deep breaths and tell myself, it will be okay. They saw something in me, but why can't I see it in myself? I guess I'm afraid to let myself down and more importantly them.

I'm going to guess that they will have some leniency for the first test at least, for you to get used to their system... and even if you did get below the required mark, they will also take into account your motivation ... your anxiety about this shows that you want to do well ... I doubt they would kick you out when you've tried hard. Besides, you haven't even started yet, you might do really well in it And if you do find it harder than expected, you could always discuss it with a tutor there or somebody ...

Well, I have went through my first week in nursing school. Its extremely overwhelming right now and I'm at a loss of words. I asked about getting the bad grade and I was right. One chance, that is all you get since that is all you get when you are caring for a patient. I really should be reading the 600 pages for this weekend but I'm sitting here crying. I am scared I'm over my head. I know this is what I want to do, but I'm so scared I'm gonna let them down.
