- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Many nursing students and new nurses struggle with feelings of inadequacy. They can feel as if they are stupid, unskilled, or not quite cut out for the nursing profession.

These feelings can even morph into something called "imposter syndrome." Imposter syndrome occurs when a person feels as if he or she has only achieved certain things due to luck or deception. They often discount their own hard work or skills, and worry that people will find out the truth, which is that they are merely fooling everyone into thinking they are more intelligent or capable than they really are.
In this video, Nurse Sarah discusses nurse imposter syndrome and offers tips for nursing students and new nurses to build their confidence and to stop doubting themselves.

Sarah, Thanks a lot for those words. Impostor syndrome is also very common on people with ADHD.
thank you for your sharing knowledge to us.. God bless you maam..
thank you for your sharing knowledge to us.. God bless you maam..
I don’t know how you knew but I needed this TODAY soooo bad!
Me too!!!!!
Me too! I'm in paramedic school but I constantly have these feelings. Like when people tell me I'm smart or I look at my grades and my performance right now as an EMT and think that I've just fooled everyone into thinking that and that I've been unintentionally deceptive.
Me too
This literally describes how I feel as a nursing student. I really do feel like I’m not as good as everyone in my class
Me either. You are not alone.
I feel this way too. Level 2 of a 4 level nursing program 🙄😔
No one does.
The field needs more preceptors like you. I got a really bad experience 👎🏼
This is the whole feeling as a Pandemic nursing student, learning through vsims and through no lab time
OMG YES!!!
YUP
you NAILED it !!
absolutely, i just passed my nclex and everything she said hits home bc i feel like we missed out on the training
yes! exactly
I've been a Nurse now for 3 years, and totally relate to this. I feel like my mind dumped right after taking the NCLEX. Thank you for this video.
Mind dump...exactly how I feel!
I have been a nurse for awhile and I totally have this! I didn’t even know this was a thing! I feel the same way, like everything I learned just fell right out of my head!! 🤯
Lol, I remember my 2nd week at a hospital as a new grad, I was assigned my first patient. I ran to an empty nurses station a little panicy going "OMG where can I find one of the nurses??" and the only respiratory therapist sitting there giggled and said "but... you ARE a nurse :) " to which I responded "A NURSE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING@!!!@!@"
My preceptor had been helping another nurse along with the charge nurse somewhere.
10 months into the job, when one of the new grads panic, I jump in like "gotcha! what we doing?? lead the way!!!!"
Idk you but I love you! Thank you for what you do! I really wish more preceptors could be like you and treat others the same way they wish to be treated! Thank you for being the light of this world!
O,what the amazing girl you are!
So refreshing to see this! This isn’t something that isn’t really spoken enough about especially as a new nurse working on the unit. I needed to hear this.
I feel like God spoke to me through you today, or He somehow just showed me, and probably many others, that He listens to our worries and fears. I've felt like this for quite a while and had no idea this was even a thing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, because I really needed to hear this and feel understood.
Me too. I didn't know anyone else felt this way.
I felt this way after passing my Nclex this year 2022. I studied so hard and now that I pass. I feel scared as a new grad.
I've been an RN for 5 years and always felt I was missing something from my studying, lectures, labs & clinical. I would review your content and have that light bulb go off where everything ties together and start to make sense.
I stared nursing in 1976. I am still nursing. Hang in there nurses! You have the ability to go ahead with your nursing. Make sure that you also look after yourselves, we are all in together 😘
I am expected to graduate in 1 month. Throughout my last quarter of nursing school, I've been feeling incompetent, "not fit to be a nurse", and scared. I'm sure a lot of nursing students or new grads can agree with me that going through nursing school during the pandemic has to be one of the biggest challenges by far. Knowing that this is a common feeling gave me all the encouragement and hope I needed! Tysm !
I'm right there with you! I'm in my last class, now, and yes, I've been feeling the same as you. It is comforting to know that we are not alone.
Hang in there girls! You’ve got this! 🙌❤️❤️
Thank you for this video Nurse Sara. I am a new grad in the ED and boy am I struggling. It is affecting my mental health. On my days off I do nothing but sleep because I don’t want to think about how awful I feel about work. I definitely feel like I’m not smart enough to be an ED nurse. But, I’m just going to keep praying about it and hang in there. 💪🏾
This is exactly what I needed today. Today literally was not a good nursing school day for me and this just gave encouragement. Thank you.
we've got this babe, I'm with you. we need bad days sometimes!!
If I heard this advice from Nurse Sarah about 5 years ago; maybe things would have been different for me. I was a "book smart student" but I had a "non-existent" preceptor experience; no skills and no confidence gained, only more doubt. I'm a licensed Rn that never worked in Nursing and have always referred to myself as a "UA-cam" Nurse. If I had a preceptor like Nurse Sarah, maybe things would have worked out differently for me. Nurse Sarah, this video could be one of the most valuable videos for new Nurses that you've ever put together. Thank you from alot of us out there working hard to be good Nurses for our patients. Keep up the good work! (Oh...and please stay as Charming as you always are!!)
I don't know how you knew, but I do feel this way. I only been a nurse 7mths. I went straight to the med/surg floor. Trying to communicate with doctors and family members are a challenge. Trying to chart is a struggle. Its like I've forgotten all my medical terms, and I feel stupid when charting on my patients. This video made me feel so much better. I will be using those tips. Thank you😊
This is so needed! A REGISTERED NURSE shared a screenshot of my post discussing this feeling my first day as an autonomous Nurse Practitioner in an effort to shame me. (Yes, those posts are still searchable.)
Imposter Syndrome is very real and affects every discipline in and out of nursing. It’s okay! And luckily it doesn’t last.
That's awful of that RN and shame on her! Obviously she had some insecurities and was jealous of your success. Sending good thoughts to you it's awesome you made it so far as a Nurse Practitioner 💕
This is something I've been struggling with as a nursing student , once I saw the notification I clicked on it , thanks for giving this topic a shot ♥️♥️
Thanks Sarah, I just graduated last week and this is all what's going through my head.
Congratulations. You can do this. Good luck with your NCLEX😁 Believe in yourself.
Congratulations!!! I failed a level and got back in. I graduate in December and this is definitely a thought that crosses my mind 🥲
You've got this! I always say that nursing school teaches you how to NOT kill people lol. You will learn SOO much more once you start working. It's better to be bit apprehensive rather than think you know everything and end up harming someone because of being too proud to ask for help. :)
about to start in the ED as a new grad and haven’t been able to sleep because I feel like I know nothing 😭 I needed to hear this, thank you!!!
I am not a new nurse ...but I am still young in my profession and I still feel like this everyday. I appreciate this cause I never knew this was a thing ....just always felt i just will never know enough...even made me want to leave my career. Thanks for this !
I’m a pharmacy student and I struggle with this so much! Especially during last year, it didn’t feel real and the only proof I even attended school was my final grade. And even though I did well, I struggle with feeling like I even deserve to progress. Self doubt is the WORST
Yes it is!! I struggle so much with self doubt mainly in this area of my life! You are not alone!
I'm going through this. Especially when I have people who has never been through the nursing program and get all their info from web Md have the nerve to tell me I look like an idiot and dont know what I'm doing. It really hurts cause I work my butt off trying to do a job that I've always wanted to do and that's nursing. Thanks for this video
I don't feel fake because I worked hard and gave it my best every step of the way. But now that it is coming to an end, I feel inadequate and stupid. I wish I had all the opportunity to practice every skills at the clinical. I feel like I don't know what I am doing and I do not belong. Definitely at a crossroad. Thanks for all the awesome videos that you made!
Right there with you! I started school at the beginning of Covid and missed out on a year's worth of hospital experience. I'm a senior now, and being in the hospital is challenging for me.
I'm in Med Surg 2 right now and it's really hitting me harder than any course I've taken in my program so far. You really summarized how I currently feel and I feel like I'm not doing anything right. Thank you for this video and for the reassurance 😔🥺
U got this 👏🏼
You truly will be okay. I graduated and passed NCLEX a month ago. Nursing is hard, and it takes a good 2-3 years working as a new nurse before things start really connecting from what I've seen/been told.
Just keep going. Day by day.
You.
Have.
Got.
This.
Awwww man I’m at the end of Med Surg 2 and I’m worried, today was not a great day I couldn’t answer simple questions. But we’re you able to take the Nclex? Are you working now?
I am not a nurse, but a lab technologist and I've felt this especially during college. I never accepted that I could have possibly been dealing with imposter syndrome until you described it and it resonated so much with me that I felt a bit overcome with emotion. You really put into words how I've been feeling!
I did not know this was a real thing. I am currently dealing with this , when I confided in my mother and fiance they were shocked and sad I even had these feelings and have been helping me to see things more clearly, but this has been a thought pattern I have carried with me for 10yrs through uni and as a nurse. Thank you for bringing this up, I don't feel so alone now. Thank you for the tips as well I will definitely try implementing some. Take care, God bless.
I’m really struggling as a new RN and this helped me so much. hearing someone talk about the quiet parts out loud is huge for me, thank you!
Not gonna lie. I clicked on this video because I thought it was content about working with employees that think they are a nurse. I had accepted the fact that not every thing learned in nursing will be retained to memory. Nursing school is typically geared around med surg which is general knowledge. I have found that most nurses gravitate towards specialist
General and very in-depth nursing information
HOW? HOW? HOW? did you know that this day I needed this more than ever??
I feel inadequate for failing the Nclex-RN multiple times. I'm doing my best to study for it. I test in 4 months.
All the best. I have heard of people doing it 6 times and finally passed. You can do it.
Have to stay focused and crush the test. I reccomend using kaplan question banks and the kaplan nclex practice tests. I failed the first time around. The second time I kept putting it off forever. I ended up taking the test on borrowed time so to speak. However I took two weeks off work and buckled down. I studied 11 hours a day for two weeks giving myself two days before the test to rest. I passed the first two practice tests and failed the 3rd. However on the third test I had the most questions right by far. Remember the test is also testing your time management. Stay focused and concise as you dont want to make hastey decisions late in the test.
Good luck to you
All the best to you Mike!
🙏🙏wishing you all the best. Sixth time is charm, you got this Mike!
This is such a good video. I’m in this now for 11 years and have avoided floor nursing all this time bc of feeling inadequate!
I’m currently struggling with this now as new LPN. I don’t feel like I know anything at all. It’s hard.
Hey luv, I went through the the same thing. I graduated in 2017. But once you start working more you’ll get the hang of it. Trust me. If you want some advice or more encouragement don’t hesitate to contact me ! Good luck! 🥰
This is unusual coming from a lpn. I brag on y’all!
@@TheMostHighDaughter180 you want reparations for being an RN?
You know more than you think you do! Be patient with yourself :)
I can't thank you enough for this gentle reminder!! I have been in nursing school for 4 years now and only in year 2 of the 4 year BN program in Canada (Started in LPN and then jumped ship to BN and slowed my role last year in year 2 BN so back in it to win year 2 this year! lol) Anyhoo .. haha .. I am also a mature student at 42 and lately I've been struggling with self doubt and realizing that that has been my biggest growth that must be tackled and needs attention or it will hold me back! This program is one of the hardest things I've done thus far in my life yet it has so much reward!! Thank you for reminding me to breathe and to trust myself and allow the process to flow! One of my clinical profs told us to check you out last year and I LOVE YOUR PAGE!!! You're my first go-to since having found you! 🤪😂.. Thanks again and I look forward to spending the next 3 years with you!! 😅😎✨✌️
I've been a nurse since August and coming out from Covid where I didn't step inside a hospital learning nursing skills as planned for nearly a year has produced this anxiety because in December I will be on my own, thank you for this video! With every day I find myself not doing things in a way that could be better or feeling like I shouldn't be allowed to be caring for patients because I am awful at managing my time and delegating, but I am so glad this isn't something I have to go through alone or without others knowing what I am going through.
Been watching you since the start of nursing school and still to this day as a new nurse. I start on Monday and you made be feel 10x better about myself!! Thank youuu
How did it go? I start next week myself!
Been a LVN for 3 and 1/2 yrs, (that's LPN for ppl outside of Texas, lol) but only been in the hospital setting for 4mos...and I needed this video today!
There's so many great RNs I have the privilege to work with (who coincidentally used to be LVNs back in the day 🤔). But there's some who have never worked with an LVN in their entire career that make me feel like a fraud with a single "look" during shift change report 😔
I really needed to hear these from someone… thank you for taking the time to talk about this subject because this is how I’m feeling right now being a student… thank you and God bless you… 🙏
OMG! I had to do all of my schooling online because of COVID and I just started my new nursing job and girllllll, trust me. I am taking in so much information at work right now and I feel overwhelmed because everything is so new to me. The good thing is that I am a fast learner so I know most of the things now but I still hesitate on a lot of situations.
I had to do trach care on my first day WITHOUT doing it before EVER and I thought I was killing my patient. so scary lol
This held me back so much that I didn’t try to push forward with my education. I thought I did the biggest mistake! So glad I got out of it and I am now pushing forward!
Students nurses or new nurses? 😂 Funny, because I recently told a really good nurse friend of mine how I don’t suffer from Dunning-Kruger effect, I struggle with Imposter Syndrome! She confided in me that she does too! I’ve been a thoracic-cardio RN, ED RN, cardiac cath lab RN and mostly an ICU RN for 18 years. My friend has been mostly ICU for at least a decade. I even had a brilliant female MD tell me she has had the same feelings! The struggle is real and it doesn’t end. Especially if you work with other co-workers who “eat their young” and practice “lateral violence”. The best to all new nurses.
This is a wonderful video! Thank you for your compassion and empathy. I remember some instructors and mentors in nursing school who I felt unsafe to show weaknesses to. One in particular was notorious for calling out students. She literally rolled her eyes at me and shamed me when I stumbled on my very first IV stick. It is no wonder that I never asked her for help.
I start nursing school next week! Needed this.
Good luck 👍🍀
Believe in you! Don’t give up and keep pushing! It’s a wild ride but worth it! Best of luck 🤞🏼
Thank you! Just took a new nursing position as a surgical circulator, and again, I feel like I'm starting out at ground zero! I needed the reminder that its okay to not know what I don't know! Just keep on trying!
This video was much needed! Especially for someone with a large nursing platform like yours❤️ I consistently passed all of my prerequisites with an A and had a 4.0 at the time of application. When I got my acceptance letter in the mail, I was in total disbelief. Everyone around me was so confused as to why I thought I wouldn’t get accepted. I couldn’t put into words, I just felt like I didn’t belong. Even as a nursing student now, I do great on an exam and feel like it was only luck. And lab days are the days I struggle with most. It’s one thing to study and pass an exam, but putting on those scrubs and “acting” as a nurse, just makes my confidence plummet. No matter how well my husband and family tell me I’m doing, I just don’t feel like they understand. Thank you for making this video. It’s good to know I’m not crazy 🤣
I'm right there with you! Our story is exactly the same! Yeah, clinic days are a self-esteem destroyer for me, as well. I'm in my last semester, and can't believe I've come this far. Hang in there!!
@@AnneMarie1031 Thank you hun. And congrats girl!! You got this! We just got to hang in there for sure. I’m still in my first semester. I feel like nursing is such an important job and it’s to be taken so serious, which further adds to my stress. Only type of work I’ve done prior to nursing school is fast food and call centers. And nobody ever died from waiting on a Big Mac 🤣🤣 im just happy to be here 🥰
@@ItsNurse_Bri You'll get the hang of it for sure! Nurse Sarah's videos have been a life-saver for me, especially in Peds. :-) You have customer service experience, and that is invaluable as a nurse; we do need to know how to interact with people. But yes, it is scary to think that we have others' lives in our hands.
This is making me cry. I thought I was alone in how I feel.
I think the biggest thing that is helping me as a freshman in nursing school is that I reflect on how I got into the school, it wasn't luck, it was hard work to get in there and that I'm not alone in the struggle
Thank you for this! I'm a nursing professional development educator and I work with a lot of new nurses that experience this. I also experienced this early in my career. I even left nursing for awhile. Thankfully I came back to the bedside and discovered I was good enough, I'd go so far too say I was a great bedside nurse. I moved into my current positive to support and nurture nurses who went through the same things I did. I will definitely be sharing this with them. Thank you!
I graduated nursing school in 2012. I took about a year and a half break from nursing to focus on growing my side business. I recently returned to nursing, and boy does this hit home!! I feel like I forgot everything during that short time. Thanks for the reassurance.
I’m struggling with this! I needed this explanation of how I’ve been feeling 🙌🏽 thank you for taking the time to film this, Nurse Sarah. You are AWESOME ❤️
I absolutely needed to see this today! I graduated nursing school in August, waiting to take NCLEX, working as a GPN with hospice, and I feel so unsure of myself with everything I do!
Thank you so much, Sarah! I am struggling with this and I graduate and May and find it difficult to believe I can really do this! Thank you for not making me feel alone!
Thank you so much for this! I graduate in December and been so hard on myself lately and questioning my path. I got into nursing school because I want to help others and know deep down I'm capable.
Yes! I graduate in December, as well. Going through school during the pandemic has been insanely rough. I too am guilty of questioning my path.
If every sick person had a nurse Sarah in their lives - they would surely be in good hands! ❤️
Thanks so much for all your great content!
I’m just in my second clinicals and this is exactly how I feel! Thank you for affirming the feelings we students and new nurses feel.
Wow! Thank you so much for creating this video I didn't know I needed!! As a new grad in the ICU I feel this sooooo much!! I have had so much anxiety the past few months because I feel like I will never be good enough or it just won't ever click for me. I wish more people would talk about this
ma’am I needed this so badly feeling stupid as a new nurse is so overwhelming (esp when you were good in school).
I needed this TODAY after a rough clinical. I’m still not sure if I’m cut out for this but thanks for the encouragement.
I'm a senior nursing student, but I sure don't feel like one! I started school right at the beginning of Covid, so most of my clinicals were online. Went back into the hospital last semester, and I still don't think I know as much as I need to.
I'm in paramedic school but this video REALLY helped me out a lot! I constantly feel inadequate and stupid
As a new grad, this is me every day! Thank you for making this video!
I am definitely going through this right now and something I would say that has helped me, is understanding that you are not expected to know everything your preceptor knows. Think about it, how many other jobs have you had in the past that expected you to know everything a seasoned worker knew. Be realistic on yourself!
Omg! I thought im the only one dealing with this feelings. Thanks Sarah for making this invaluable video. You're the best!
thank you for speaking about this. I just started nursing school and I felt like I wasnt good enough to be a nurse. Realizing that I am not alone makes me feel better.
Okay, so this one is not just for the new nurses. I actually have 10 years of Ed experience but I am taking a travel assignment. These words went a long way. Thank you
I’m feeling this right now with my struggle of finding a job. Makes me feel like I wasn’t worth anything. Thank you for this video.
I just got a new job as an ER Tech and although I've been a licensed EMT for a while I haven't worked in the field. I was in school for physical therapy last year and just decided to pursue nursing. Today I kept thinking that I was going to fail in the ER and never become a nurse because I was telling myself that I'm dumb and have no experience. Your video is the second one that I've come across today on imposter syndrome and that is no coincidence. I just want to say thank you so much ❤️ I was this close to quitting before I even gave myself a chance. To anyone who reads this please be kind to yourself, you've got this, and you are not dumb.
Thank you for this message! I wonder if they make nursing school this way to make us feel as if we are dumb! Ugh.
This is an inspirational video that applies to all HCPs. I will be sharing this quite a bit with discouraged colleagues. Thanks!
Omg thank you. I got a 90% on an exam and I was so certain that there was a mistake. I truly didn’t feel I could of done that. I’m a C, B average nursing student. I was so suprised and besting myself up instead of celebrating. I needed this video today. Thank u
I have been struggling for two months. New RN (old nurse 53 yrs old). LPN for 11 years. Transition to RN has been rough. Beating myself up everyday. Thank you for saying what I feel.
I enjoyed this. I'm not in nursing school but radiography and it's been really hard. This helped shed light on tough truths and helped pick me up :)
I graduate in 2 weeks and have watched this many times. I am trying to remember this as I go into my grad nurse position! Still feeling nervous, but remember there is a whole team of seasoned nurses around me too!!!
Thank you so much I start my first job as a LPN Monday and this is how I been feeling 💕 almost made me cry 😢
Literally just bombed a patho exam an hour ago. Idk how you knew to post this today, but thank you.
Can’t tell you how timely this is for me as a nursing student!!
Wow! I had no idea this was a thing! I have been feeling this way recently. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was thinking this way. I graduate my BSN program next semester. Thanks again Sarah and registerednurseRN
Sarah, I’ve been feeling this so much lately and it seems like others have too! Such a timely video. Thank you for shining light on a topic that is not talked about much in the nursing community. God bless you💓
Literally going through this because I have an exam tomorrow 🥴😭 , impeccable timing. Thank you so much nurse Sarah
Thank you for talking about this Sarah. I am a new graduate and will begin to work in a few weeks. I definitely felt all of those feelings during nursing school.
I just got or passed my license exam and is second guessing if I should switch profession because I am feeling exactly like what u described... I thought I was the only one feeling this way. Glad to see it's a common feeling.
I'm really thankful for this video as a nursing student. We've missed our clinical practices due to covid issues and it really makes us anxious. I've always thought whether I'm not good enough for this when everyone look so confident in whatever they are doing. I feel like I'm lagging behind. I'll work harder to be a better nurse
How did you do clinical then? I'm struggling also.
This video reached me at the right time! THANK YOU! Being an international nurse where resources and everything is different and there are a ton of new faces around me it's been hard to cope with the culture shock. I thought I was alone through this and I am so happy I watched this I'm literally crying. I question my abilities so much yet when I look back I've passed every exam gotten awards and everything! Sigh Thank you!!
Nursing school taught me to look stuff up, and research topics I am not clear on. You can't remember everything. Seeking knowledge is key.
I'm currently a CNA right now working in a hospital (2 months in), and the nurses I work with are the nicest people I've ever worked with. They will talk to me when they're doing things (Inserting IV's, Catheters, etc) and just explain to me the process. They know I want to move up and I feel blessed to have co workers already encouraging me and are willing to help me when I do go back to school. I loved this video too! It's not an easy choice for some of us to go straight into nursing school and this video makes me feel like I will be able to do it :)
I am currently struggling with this syndrome. I am so grateful for this video because It makes me feel heard, and not alone. I feel like I got this far out of luck! I do, however, find keep surprising myself. It looks as if I have my head above water. I'm freaking out internally because I feel like that can change at any moment. This video helped. Thank you
Thank you so much Nurse Sarah! I am a senior nursing student who has been struggling with this lately. I’m so scared of being on my own after graduation as a new grad.
Seriously needed to hear this today. I graduated school in august, passed the nclex 3 weeks ago and I’m on my 3rd week of orientation in a critical care unit. Thanks, Sarah!
This is the reason I changed majors the first time around. The college I was in is so competitive that I thought quitting would be better for my ego than failing. Boy was I wrong. Quitting before I even started felt worse than failing. I thought it would take me longer than everyone else to get my degree because I learn in ways that’s typically different from most people academically speaking, and that was embarrassing to me. Then I realized that it doesn’t matter how long it takes because time will pass anyway. Now I would rather try and fail at something I’m passionate about instead of going into a career where there is no passion. I’m in my second go for the nursing program and I truly think that I can do it. Bless you all that feel the way I did. You got this.
Sounds like you understand your learning style so hang in there
You don't know how much I needed to hear this.Thank you so much 💕
Thank you for sharing this. I’m in my senior year in my program and going through nursing school during this pandemic has not been easy. Even though I’ve been working as a CNA for close to nine years the burnout with work and school has been real and I wonder how it is that I’ve gotten this far.
I recently passed my NCLEX exam here in the Philippines and the timing of your video is perfect. After doubting myself for three days of waiting, when I learned that I passed the exam, I felt like I didn't deserve it because I didn't know enough. I even questioned myself if I was really fit to be a nurse. Thank you for this video so much!
I needed to see this, I'm in semester 3/5 in my ASN, and I say so often "I can't believe that in under a year I'm going to be responsible for peoples lives". It is just crazy to me to think that I'm going to learn soooo much more in that amount of time and I feel overwhelmed and like I'm not adequate but this video helped a lot. Thank you Sarah, from one of your Nurslings.
I just graduated and started my first nursing job today. I needed to hear this so badly!!
Nursing is very Difficult especially at first, all jobs are but Nursing is more than Comforting Patients, that is the primary thrust of Nursing & the best way to do that is by knowing the job and thereby feeling comfortable enuff to reach out to patients in a meaningful way. So it's a catch 22... Feeling inadequate is perfectly normal throughout a Nurses career, but so many are not ready for the onslaught of information on the first day. That really tells the tale of their determination to continue. Again though, it's not an easy profession, it is a difficult one.
WOW! I really needed to hear this today of all days! I'm in nursing school and had two exams today and didn't get the grades I thought I would. Much lower than anticipated. Times like this I want to give up. I know tomorrow is another day and I will continue to work hard and become an RN. Thank you for this much-needed message!
So Im not ALONE! I had no idea there is a name for this I thought I was the only one having these feelings. Wow thank you!
Thanks for addressing this Sarah. I just started nursing school this fall and I literally feel as if I do not deserve to be there. I feel as if it is because of luck. I had to sit and reflect and remind myself that it is not true. I really thought I was alone.
Ineeded this. Been out of nursing for 17 years (became a stay at home mom) going to start my refresher course on Tuesday and i feel so dumb! And scared!!! But super excited!!
Wow 😮 Im a new grad RN and was struggling HARD today. I felt so defeated. Thank you for making this
I just got home from my very last day of clinical placement today. Thank you so much for talking about this. It could not have come at a better time ❤
Continuing feelings of this can grow and really effect daily performance, nerves, blood pressure, and more. Most everyone has some level of this human feeling, but for some its debilitating to a quality life. Having somebody to trust enough with your inner most feelings is the best help there is. I think of it as a rational person's delusional paranoia.
I don’t know how I came to this video but I really needed to see this! I’m an LPN bridging over for my RN license and yess it’s kinda rough!
