Wow such a great question. “Why am I questioning if this is for me?” I have been a CNA since 2016 and it has been great and I can do the job well and my goal was to go to nursing school, but starting the process overwhelms me. I found that more recently, being a nursing assistant has been almost too much for my mental health. My anxiety can get so bad at work and I just keep working through it and acting like everything is ok. I treat the client with the upmost respect and care, but I can’t seem to calm down for some reason. People have told me that it’s just because I want to make sure the client is well cared for. Might be more than that. This has made me question if nursing is the right way to go. Then I have people question me for possibly changing my direction to another career. I want to work, but I also want to be wise. Let me know what you think🥰

Great video. I’m in my last prerequisites classes for nursing and now I’m thinking it’s not for me. Mad at myself for the loans I have to payback

Thanks you!
I'm CNA certified!

@popcornpenguin6225 5 years ago

The reason I’m questioning if it is for me is bc I’m nearly 30 years old and I’m just now curious about becoming a nurse. I want to go back to school and have a career and feel needed by society.
It was also always my sister’s “thing” she is the nurse in the family. I don’t want to take anything away from her?? If that makes sense…
I feel like I could do it. I could go through nursing school and I know I will see things and smell things and I feel like none of that would be an issue for me. I’m worried. I won’t have a passion for because I am just now discovering my interest in it at 29.. do I just want to do it for the money?? Maybe that is part of it. I’m scared it’s not for me bc what if the salary is my only reason? I don’t want to become a nurse if I can’t find joy in it.

The thing is I’m taking clinicals in high school and basically it’s teaching us how to be a patient care tech PCT and honestly after my whole senior year of doing this class I hate this class. Our teacher barely teaches us and makes us study the stupid NHA book and none of The girls in my class are motivated anymore we’re just trying to get by especially when the seniors (me) we were so interested about nursing and this is our mini introduction to it and we hate it I know two of my senior classmates are still going to enter nursing but from what I’ve seen and from what I’ve done I don’t know if I can do it I don’t know if this is what I want to do and I’m going to college. I really thought nursing could be for me because I want to help people and I do like talking to people and I really wanted to make money but now I feel as if I’m not smart enough or I don’t feel like I can work as hard or be mentally there I don’t know whether to just stick through it like the others or change my major but I don’t know what I want to do so I really wanna just stick it out but I don’t want to be unhappy does anyone else feel this way?

Found this video. I work in EVS as a floor tech and just became lead and realize i don't want to do this no more. I work at a children's hospital and they pay for you to become a car assistant and a nurse later if that's something i want. So I'm really thinking about it. This video helped

Keep them coming!!! You're doing the doggone thang! Ok I graduated the CMA and was the VALEDICTORIAN! I completed the program with a 99. I'm currently working on my resume to get a job in the field. I'm taking baby steps LPN is the next thing well the TEAS 6 is 🙏🏾 sweet baby Jesus 😂

@shannonjohnson4314 7 years ago

I would be an excellent nurse but I fell in love with public health. However considering it as a second bachelors.

@yvetteh5098 3 years ago

I justed landed a job at a hospital I always wanted to work at as a child. I wanted to be Pediatrician when I was a child myself 😊 it kind of funny story. Like you say healthcare have so many avenues that you can explore. Even though I'm at my dream employer I have the opportunity to work in labor and delivery as EVS. And I've been following you for awhile.... putting comments before still working towards getting my CNA certification. I'm just in a different state and different protocols for getting my certification. But what I like about what I'm doing I get a chance to see what's really going on inside the hospital. 🙏🏽🦋🧡

@tp6838 4 years ago

Yeah see I’m not interested in dealing with bodily fluids or geriatrics but I’m interested in an impactful career. I also like how there is a variety of positions. I’d be interested in esthetics or behavioral or even behind the scenes

@miracleconnelly6326 7 years ago

I must say you are a great motivating person I'm a CNA and I been holding back going back to school but I do see myself going to school to be a lpn

@nae1427 7 years ago

I don’t feel like I am not smart enough, but I feel like I’m too late in the game to be changing careers. I have so many people supporting my decision to go back to school but I already have a degree/k-6 teaching cert as well as a state cert for school counseling. I feel like I’ve just missed my chance by going into the education field... I just don’t know if it meant to be anymore. I went to an allied health high school and got accepted into 2 pre-nursing programs and ended up in a completely different field and idk why but I hate what I do now and would rather be helping people and working in a medical setting... lord help me lol!!

@laurenh1939 7 years ago

Yes please do a video speaking about "I'm not smart enough". Will be very helpful 😍

@BigTroubleD 4 years ago

I’m turning 30 at the end of this year.

I do like helping people. I have an interest in people and their stories. I do have a soft spot for the sick and care.

I’m just worried about being smart enough to make it through school and to be able to manage the stress of working and school. Also I’m getting older and I wonder if I have the energy and stamina for this anymore.

Also, I have a previous degree that I never really used in an industry I found unfulfilling.

I love that you can hustle as a nurse. That part of it is very appealing to me and being able to work nights too. I love the night.

I don’t plan on having any kids. I like the flexibility of the scheduling at times, the job opportunities and that you can sometimes get what you make out of it.

@kaylahood6549 6 years ago

Lord I failed my first biology test I don’t know if I’m smart enough to become a nurse. I’m not going to quit I’m going to keep going.

@nicoleleigh1463 6 years ago

I’m working as a tech in the icu right now but for the past year I’ve been in a rehab for the older population. I’m still waiting around on myself to make the decision to continue my education and decide if I want my RN or not... I’m only 18 so part of me feels like I have time to think. The other part of me feels like the earlier I start the better . Any advice ?
