First day of clinical!

Published

I am soo nervous! After 12 med prep pages till 11:00 last night, and then still not being able to shut my brain off...here I am! Bright and early ready to do my best! I am so nervous though. 4 high alert meds, injections, hip fx...here's to not killing anyone today!

I'm sure you're doing fine right now. Good luck with the rest of the day and remember to have fun. You're doing something you love!

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.

The last day of clinicals is significantly more exciting than the first.

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.

I'm so glad it went great. I am working on my 12th clinical day and I can't even remember what all that nervousness felt like. :)
