let me go into a little history....i graduated in december 07', and will be taking the nclex-pn on april 2nd in florida. my program was an outstanding program, with over 95% passing rates with the nclex. the school is very highly regarded, and it is nearly impossible to get into....
so............why am i feeling like every, single thing i learned i have forgotten??? i'm panic stricken, as i begin my new job on a med-surg neuro floor. i did follow a tech for two weeks, just to get some hours in while awaiting my att, and i'm glad i did that, but i am really freaking myself out!
in clinicals, so many procedures were far and few between, and we were lucky to get three foleys!
i did end up doing two foleys, and consider myself smart, (not one of "those" in the nursing class that you wonder how they ever made it past 5th grade!)--- had plenty of injections, and other things like insulin, med passes, etc. etc.
i did receive a well rounded education, but i am still just totally freaking out.
i'm worried about.....well....i'm not even sure what the hell i'm worried about, i'm just afraid of doing my first "procedure"---whatever it may be....
my memory is not the best, and i'm afraid i've forgotten my drugs, and se's...ugh!
tell me, is this a normal feeling? does everyone feel like they've forgotten everything they ever learned???
any advice would be much appreciated!
i begin with my preceptor april 1st...wish me memory! lol!
