I'm in to my 9th week of clinicals and the one thing you need to remember is that no one expects you to know everything. even the RN's don't know everything. Nursing is a constant learning experience. Just remember see every procedure you can and when they ask "who would like to..." Jump in with both feet and say ME!!!!

Trina - The nursing tests are the most difficult tests you will take. You need to apply the knowledge not just have the knowledge. Buy a N-CLEX book and start taking the quizes in the book. They mirror the questions on tests and you can apply the critical thinking it takes to apply the knowledge you have learned. hang in there. You'll get it. I did.
