Hi, I agree with Linda. Someone once told me that it is normal to be nervous, but it is what we do with our nerves that determines what happens. This helps me through all new situations. But I can assure that you shouldn't be overly nervous though. I am doing a rotation in a hospital as a CNS student right now and have learned soooo much. Just thinking about where I was two quarters ago and how much I have learned is amazing. I think my experience has really built on what I learned as an RN on the floor. I do lots of teaching, research, applying new ideas to clinical situations, patient assessments and consultations with medical teams, and of course some preparedness for JCAHO and whatnot. I hope you have a great experience. We have clinical conferences too where other students talk about their rotations and I think the concensus is that we are amazed at how much CNS' do and that our preceptors can accomplish in a day. Good luck! Steph.
