Episode 16: The Question Every Nursing Student Asks - Should I keep going?

In this episode of OB Clarity with Dr. Godfrey, we talk about one of the biggest questions nursing students ask: “Do I belong here?, Should I keep going?”
Nursing school brings uncertainty, self-doubt, and moments when you wonder if you’re truly meant for this path.

We’ll explore why these feelings are normal, how to tell the difference between being overwhelmed and being genuinely misaligned, and why seeking support from instructors, mentors, and peers can make all the difference.
We also talk about real resilience—not perfection, but the courage to keep learning, keep going, and keep reaching out when things get hard.

And if a student realizes nursing isn’t the right fit? That’s not failure. There are many meaningful ways to make a difference in the world, inside and outside healthcare.

No matter where your path leads, clarity matters.
Always Assess. Don’t Guess.
