Advice; new rn student and start nurse aide position-feeling dumb?

[skim36]

Hi all

Well I am not sure if dumb is the word but here's my dilemma. I would appreciate any advice anyone who has been is my shoes can share. I am starting the rn program next month and a new nurse aide job in our local hospital this week. I am a cna but have minimal experience. I am anxious to get started but feel, I don't know, stupid because I have not had that much clinical experience. I do not want to be in anyones way and I feel I learn fast, perhaps I am just nervous about my new exciting ventures? Is this normal/typical? thanks

I can totally relate, Im in my last year of nursing school and just started a job as an aide at a hospital in the pool.

So, its hard to make connections with other nurses and aides since I'll always be floating from floor to floor....feeling unfamiliar and uncertain.

Im not shy. I feel confident, but Im having a hard time with the unfamiliar and unexpected part of the job.
