I feel so unprrepared

Published

I have 2 more semesters left of school, but I feel like I am so unprepared to be a nurse. We have covered so many disease processes but if you presented to me with symptoms I doubt that I would know what to do. I am terrified that when I graduate I will cause harm because I don't know lab values or I did not handle something appropriately.

I know this is silly as I have done well in my classes and have averaged higher grades than most of my class but I feel like I need to handle some more stressful situations in clinicals to be comfortable. I am one that works well under pressure.
