The first week of nursing school was one endless orientation after another. Honestly 14 hours+ of listening to the same thing repeated over and over again.
I am sure I will want to return to orientation as soon as clinical starts.
I am SO worried about my first clinical. Bed baths are my main anxiety. I know that seems really silly but what if I get a man? What if the patient is so dirty I cannot tolerate the condition, smell etc (heard horror stories from seniors who rotated through the nursing home).
I am doubting this and it has barely started. All this anxiety over a bath?
