PCA in the ER..Anxiety troubles..

[49*1]

Hey everyone. Im currently working in the emergency room as a PCA. I just started and have a little bit of anxiety throughout the day when handling patients. Im more on the quiet side when talking, but try to spark some kind of conversation with the patient when im doing something, such as vitals or an EKG. Im still learning since I just started but am some what nervous that I might do something wrong or not know how to do it or make myself like stupid in front of the patient. I never witnessed a code yet or actually have been involved in one but im scared when i actually have to (which i would love to be and just dive in and do what i have to, to save this persons life) but afraid ill freeze up and just go blank. im certified in cpr so that helps a little . I really love the field of nursing and am going to school currently to be just that, so im really lucky to get this job. I just wanted to know if anyone else has or is feeling this way when they started and what can i do to ease the transition. is it normal to feel like this? It doesnt help either that im new and most people do not know me yet so i feel as if they are like "hey who is that" kinda thing. thanks for reading.
