I totally understand what you're going through. There was a point that I would even cry the night and/or could not sleep. Do you have somebody in your clinical you can talk to as a support? It helps to know that you're not the only one terrified. Talk to your classmates. And Yes...ask, ask, ask. Good luck!
As mentioned, know the Medication Rights, know a little something about what the medication is for, Wash Hands....too often is better than not enough! Don't be afraid to ask your instructor questions, in fact, I encourage you to. You are not supposed to know everything, you may have your instructor thinking you know it all if you don't ask questions. That is the last thing you want!!!! Sometimes instructors may make you feel like you are being singled out, or that they want you to fail. I saw it happen many times to me and my fellow classmates during the LVN program I was in. Well if they could see me now!!! (I graduated in June 2005) Good Luck! Don't let anyone bring you down, if you really want to be a nurse, you will do what is necessary to get through what you have to to get there. Dana

Okay so I am a nursing student, and I start my clinical on wed. I am terrified!! What do you feel are the most important LVN skills and info to review before clinical?? I feel like the expectations are super high, the instructors say they expect us to "hit the floor running". Please help!! LOL
