Last Semester--HELP!

[Nrs. LaLa-Land]

Hi.. all of you wonderful grads!

I just started my last semester of an ADN program. I am stressing out so bad. I do really well in the classroom and theory. I just need some advice about clinical. I seem to feel very overwhelmed with the fear of making a mistake (ie. med error, messing up on a skill, not noticing a symptom, etc..). I have heard so many horror stories of people getting kicked out even in the last 2 weeks of school for making mistakes. My program makes you wait a full semester before getting back in. I also need help with my organizational skills. I feel busy with 2 patients. How do I get organized for 6? Does anyone have any advice for me? PLEASE!! Also any pointers on my preceptorship would be appreciated.

I admire all of you that have made it through school:nurse:
