It is normal to be nervous. I was a nervous wreck any time I had to go to clinicals because of fear of being watched by the Clinical instructor.
We did a poll at the end of school asking how many students ended up on anti anxiety meds- 50 percent of us went on some form of med to get through school. I know of only 3 students to have failed due to clinical. One failed because she lied to an instructor, another because she was deemed unsafe, and another due to being argumentative and disrespectful to a clinical instructor.
Just prepare well before clinical. Never give a med without knowing what it is for and its side effects. Take it day by day.
