Hi, I know everyone is on their own path and it’s best not to compare yourself to others but I can’t help but feel like I’m falling behind.
I am a second year BSN student. I work as a CNA at a nursing home & home health aide. A handful of my classmates are CNAs on hospital floors. A few are getting internships too. I just feel so behind. Like experience wise, I’m not getting the hospital experience I should be getting. I got in a car crash recently and have to rely on my boyfriend for rides to work. I wanted to apply to a hospital CNA job this summer but I just know it’s not the best thing for me right now.
I know it’s gonna be okay. We’re all gonna graduate and be RNs one day. I just feel like I’m falling behind from the rest of my cohort. Like I’m missing out on experience I should be getting already. I know, I know I shouldn’t compare myself. I just have low self esteem and life hasn’t really been ideal recently.
Just thought I’d leave this here and wonder if anyone can relate or has been in a similar position.
