Like the title says, I’m debating dropping out. I waited 1.5 years to get into this program but I’m not sure it’s what I thought it would be. I’m now ~6 months in and have been in clinical for 1 month and really don’t like it. I am an extremely anxious person and it has been hell trying to catch on to all the little protocols and steps plus patient interaction in general. I don’t know what I was thinking, but certainly didn’t think it would be as hands on with patients as it is. We spend a LOT of time transferring and generally being with patients which is why I didn’t go into nursing in the first place. I am also suffering from some severe mental health issues so that’s making school and clinicals more difficult, but also makes me wonder if I can figure those out- maybe I wouldn’t hate this field so much? Right now I just feel miserable. Anybody have any insight? I’m not even sure what to ask myself to really figure out if I should quit or not; but it just really doesn’t seem like a good fit. But I’m just struggling accepting that and being courageous enough to officially drop out. Any advice or guidance is more appreciated than you know!
