Practicum jitters

Hi everyone! I just needed some input as to how I can be the best student for my preceptor. My first day of preceptorship I felt overwhelmed with the information presented before me ..I felt inadequate that day. It came off to a bad start when I came 20 min earlier before the shift to look up patients ED report, PMH, labs, and medication. My login wasn't working correctly and I was only able to do all of that on one patient and obtained report about all of the patients. I just wish I was more prepared so that didn't come off to a good start, plus I had a 12 hour working shift the day before that drained everything out of me. I passed my meds competently, did my own vitals, and assessment.

My preceptor told me she could tell I was nervous and stressed out. She said if she noticed I didn't do something I was supposed to she would've let me know. She proceeded to tell me her own experience as a brand new nurse, what to watch out for in nclex, and that I won't be able to know and do everything until I'm a nurse myself. Sometimes I feel like I'm setting too high of an expectation for myself ? I want to show initiation and drive and I feel like I'm not doing enough. I work as a student tech as well and find that helps me with patient care. Can you guys let me know what you think of this situation, your interpretation and what else I could do to show my preceptor that I'm doing my 100% best and making sure that my patients are safe ?

Ive talked to my nurses who have told me that I needn't not to worry that I'm brand new and preceptorship is all about learning and being safe that is all. The preceptor I have now, I've had her for two days in a clinical rotation and she's always commented that I'm a knowledgeable student and that I do a good job. She's rated me 5 stars twice on my evaluations. I just have the worst fear that I'll fall short and have a bad evaluation just days before my graduation. And I know on that day she asked me well what do you want to do today? And told me we'd focused on more things later on. It's also a short preceptorship too only a weeks worth. Thank you so much for your input !!
