Very scared RN student

[strugglingstude]

Good afternoon to all. I just found this site, and I want to see if you can help me. I started going to this prominent school and all my energy and excitement that I had is gone. I am very depressed about this whole thing. I do not eat, do not sleep and are generally tired. The doctor says there is nothing wrong with me, I think it is stress. I went from a GPA of 3.91 to getting 60s and 70s on my stupid tests. Because I was so scared I did not do so well on my vital signs check offs. Tomorrow is my clinicals, I am so scared and I do not know what to expect. I am also having a difficult time studying. I cannot concentrate, I lose my point of focus. Also for some of my labs we watch videos before the lab and we are supposed to repeat what was shown to us. I have a very hard time doing this. Any advice?

Your right, we can't introduce ourselves as nurses. We are not nurses, we are Nursing students and that is how you should introduce yourself.
