Our first day of clinicals and doing assessments on real live pts is tomorrow. I'm excited, I'm nervous, and would love to hear how your first day went. Any suggestions to help me calm down and clear my thinking? How did you get through it?? Thanks! Good luck to you all!

Pretty soon, assessments are going to be really easy...It is just hard because the instructor is looking at you..If you do it many times, then it would be second nature..In the begining since it is new, it is more difficult..

Are there any good websites on how to do a complete head to toe assessment?
