Insecure

I am 30 years old, and just became an LVN last year. I risked my chances and applied to an RN transition program (ADN) and got in. I have two young kids, my husband works long hours, so I have yet to work as a nurse.

It’s now my second semester, one to go until graduation, and I’m scared to death. I am smart, but of course that doesn’t mean everything. My lack of clinical experience has me feeling so inadequate. I am usually a confident, outgoing person, but I cannot get over this insecurity due to lack of experience.

Someone please tell me this gets better.
