Hello

OMG Im having a Dr Phil moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well kinda!

I am oddly worried that nursing maybe just my dream and not my reality...I have a case of the "BUTTER FINGERS".This is not a joke.I am really worried that I may fail or lose hope of pursing nursing because the fear of dropping important equipment or tools....lord knows..maybe even people.:nono:..lol...(had to laugh):lol2:..I think maybe im worried too much because when i think of nursing....i think you have to be sturdy and focused and intelligent....not clumsy...Am I just overreacting? Or is this a real concern?PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR INSIGHT!:trout:

Half the people I work with are total klutzes!! I have dropped things, tripped, and ran into things more times than I can count! I was joking around one time that you know its bad when you patient has to catch you :)

I've done it many times, and it happens...just don't say oops....

2 cases...

1. tonight, I went down to pull up a recliners footrest....and split went my pants...for the rest of the night had to pin them closed.

2. Dropped water all over a patient when I was changing the liner at 2am....was a doctor's mom no less!!!! YIKES!

it happens, the trick is not to pay too much attention.
