Long break between 1st & 2nd sem ASN clinicals

1. I am new to this site and this is the first time that I have posted to any board. I completed 1st sem. clinicals in Dec '01. I was in 2nd sem. clinicals but had to withdrawal due to family emergency. So now I will be starting again this week. During the time out of school, I had no patient contact. I have gone over all the skills that I learned during the 1st semester but I am still really nervous. Has anyone experience a similar situation?

   I think you'll do fine once you get back up and rolling.
   Good Luck to you and welcome to the board!
