CrufflerJJ, RN 1 Article; 1,023 Posts Specializes in ICU. Has 5 years experience. Oct 23, 2012 Clinicals ARE stressful. Enjoy/remember your first day of clinicals. Remember how stressed out/excited/terrified you were when you've got a nursing student following you in a few years.

Julesmama28 435 Posts Oct 24, 2012 Thanks everyone! I survived! So did the patient. Whew! I think my instructor was more nervous than we were- if that possible! She is new to the school though, and the clinical site. We all did fine, its so much nicer now that we know what to expect- somewhat.
