New to STNA class

Try doing it without looking at the book, just remember, knock, introduce yourself, wash your hands, and explain the procedure before you do anything. That only leaves the fun part. P.S. It will come easier with time, you'll be great.

We didn't do any skills for the first few days of our class either. You will probably go over them in class, everyone will have a chance to ask questions and practice but ultimately it will be your responsibility to learn all the steps. It sounds like your boyfriend will be a big help. Give him your booklet to read while you perform your skills so he can point out if/when you make a mistake. The best thing to help you will be to say out loud what you are doing. You may notice as well that the first 3 or so steps and the last 2 or 3 stes are the same no matter what. Knock on the door, explain procedure, handwashing then call light, handwash, etc. That knocks a 17 step skill down to about 10.

By the time class is over, you will be more confident. Good luck! You'll do great!
