I dont know what I was thinking

I know I have the makings of a good nurse. I am mature, have some life experience behind me. I enjoy health, science, I want to learn, I ask questions I can hold my own and speak up when needed. I can be firm but calm. I love helping people.

But I dont know if I can actually do this, I think I bit off way more than I can chew. I over estimated my ability. I am third year, nearly there. I feel over stimulated and over whelmed. I no longer know which direction to take. I feel like a bit of a fool, what made me think I could go back at late 30s with kids and do this job? Its way more stressful than I anticipated. I hate the hospital setting. I should have taken the EN route first.

Did anyone do a mastets in OT after degree or another health related qualification? Nursing isnt for me at all.

3 years of hard slog and a hecs debt later. I would reccomend anyone considering it to maybe do AIN first and gain some exposure. Dont be like me
