I did it.

by Lisa on February 23, 2011 · 91 comments

The start of 2011 has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

I’ve experienced hurt, sadness, confusion, anger, happiness, freedom, courage….and ELATION!

I got into Nursing School!

This has been such a long time coming. I’ve put in a lot of hard work, tears and overcoming fears to get to this place.

I had always wanted to go into the medical field, but somewhere along the way I had convinced myself I couldn’t do it. I wasn’t smart enough. It started in high school when I got a D in math class and dropped out of Chemistry. I didn’t believe in myself or my abilities. I developed a nasty habit of turning and running when the coursework got difficult.

That fear and doubt about my abilities continued into college. I had the medical field in my mind, but I settled on a Communications major. It was easy for me and I never had to push myself. I enrolled in Chemistry only to last for 2 class periods before I gave up. I developed one huge obstacle for myself.

I graduated college taking almost no Science classes and had a great GPA in my Communications degree. I worked for a few years, but the medical itch was always there.

I finally got to a point where I knew I couldn’t keep ignoring it. However, I was terrified. Terrified of starting, terrified of Chemistry, and terrified of failing.

However, I wasn’t getting any younger and it was truly now or never. My first semester was Nutrition and Chemistry.

CHEMISTRY.

I had a panic attack in my Chemistry Lab the first week. I sat in lab, listening to my professor feeling like he was speaking a foreign language. I was convincing myself that I wasn’t smart enough and that I couldn’t do it. My chest got tight and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Tears welled up in my eyes as I started frantically texting my calm to see if she could calm me down.

I found this in an old blog post regarding that night…

It was a tough night, but I know I won’t quit this time. I studied and studied and got help and I’m starting to understand the concepts. I think challenging myself to take this course is something I need. I can’t be afraid to fail….how will I ever succeed if I am so afraid to fail? I know that once this class is over with, I will feel a sense of pride that I haven’t felt in a long time. I will have broken my demon, my mental obstacle.

Truer words couldn’t have been spoken. I remember the elation I felt when I got my first quiz back in Chemistry. I got a 100! It was at that moment I knew I could do anything. I managed, through a lot of hard work, to get an A in Chemistry. It was a life changing moment where I realized that I am the ONLY one who can hold me back. If I put my mind to something, tell myself I can do it, then I can do anything I want.

I used that self assured attitude and powered through 10 hours of classes (Anatomy & Physiology) plus working full time and received A’s in that class.

When I opened up that acceptance letter, I felt such a sense of pride. I did this. Only me. I worked hard, struggled, but moved past it and succeeded.

I will start Nursing School in June. It’s a 14 month accelerated program that will end in a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. It’s an intense program and I won’t be able to work.

Bring it. I’m ready for the challenge.

Tell me your most recent accomplishment! I want to be happy with you.

Congrats! I know the feeling when it comes to math/science. They don’t come easy to me either, but I am slowly working my way through the ideas of anatomy/physiology/physics to become a personal trainer. I will be so proud when I pass the exam because it will have taken a lot of hard work!

Hi Lisa,

I just started reading your blog and felt compelled to comment on this post because I’m in an accelerated nursing program too!!! I’ll be graduating in May. I’m going to warn you it will be the most challenging thing you will probably ever endure but its sooo worth it and after reading this post I can tell your determination and desire will get you through it! You’re going to do great and loving the rewarding feeling that comes with being a nurse

Kat February 23, 2011 at 10:19 pm

That is so awesome!! Congrats!!!

I guess my biggest recent accomplishment was finally getting a job. I had applied to over 100 positions and I couldn’t believe it finally happened. I’m still getting over my fear of going back to school but I’ve finally realized that it is what I really want.

So many congratulations to you!!

I can relate. I likely should be in medical school right now but I was intimidated by CHEMISTRY and changed my major sophomore year of college. I ended up in Family Health which is similar but not the same.

I’m now a dual degree Masters student in Public Health and Social Work, which has been a GREAT FIT. I love promoting macro level health and interacting on a personal level when I can.

I wish you all the best! School is difficult and be open to changing some things in your life (such as eating and working out) because you won’t be able to fit it all in. But you will ENJOY and LEARN and be challenged and it’ll be awesome!

Nurses are fantastic and I’m sure you’ll be a great one!

Ashley February 23, 2011 at 11:33 pm

Hey I’m a new reader and I love your blog! I can seriously relate to your story. I started college as a political science major with every intention of going to law school. Then I became involved with the world’s worst guy who pretty much convinced me I was too dumb to be an attorney. When we eventually broke up I transfered schools and became a Communications major. I did really well but always felt that I settled with Comm. By my senior year I had some of my confidence back and decided to try to get in to law school anyways. Now I’m in my 3rd year and about to graduate!! Good luck with Nursing school and you should be so proud of yourself. It sounds like 2011 is going to be your year!

My most recent accomplishment isn’t totally huge, but I got into my top choice summer dance program. I sprained my ankle a week before the audition (of course), so I was pretty worried, but I made it!

Congratulations!!! I think Chemistry was one of the hardest classes for me to comprehend…that and physics! So glad I don’t have to go through THAT again!

A couple of months ago, I took my certification exam in CAT scan. I was only a certified x-ray technologist that worked in the CAT scan department before. Now I am certified in BOTH! It was a difficult studying process and a 200 question exam. I was so nervous, but I set my mind to it, studied until I thought my brain was mush, and passed it with flying colors!

I’ve totally been stalking your blog through my Google reader for ages now, but I really felt the need to comment on this entry. I’m going through the same thing right now. I started out really wanting to go into medicine in some way, but chemistry was my downfall. (And calculus, which I attempted 4 times and never managed to last to the first test.) I got my bachelors in political science and am working, but it doesn’t satisfy me at all. I’m good at my job, but I’m not happy. I started my first A&P course last month and although it’s really hard, I am absolutely LOVING it. I’d forgotten how much I loved the sciences after all those years of political theory and philosophy.

Congratulations on nursing school. That’s a serious accomplishment. And thanks for this post, it reminds me that I’m my own worst enemy and it gives me hope that I CAN do this, I CAN pass chemistry, and I CAN make it in medicine.

CONGRATS! I am doing the EXACT same thing! I went through college thinking I was way to stupid to handle all that math and chemistry. Wouldn’t you know that when I graduated college last May I decided to take the leap and go for an accelerated program. I am just finishing my prerequisites for my accelerated program and like you, I have gotten an A in chemistry and my first half of A&P as well as my other prereq courses. Although my program would not start until January and will only be 12 months, I know EXACTLY how anxious you must have been waiting for the letter. If I don’t get in, of course I can fall back on my psychology degree, but that’s not what I want to do. So WAY TO GO!! I hope that in June when you start your program I will also receive good news from mine! I know the hard work that goes in to make it possible to get accepted to programs like these and it is not an easy task. Good luck in the next step. You will do wonderfully. I never believed it until now, but you really can do anything you set your mind to. Best of luck!!!
