    Have you ever been paralyzed by fear?

    jadedjane replied to LegalQuiltMom's topic in General Students

    I am starting to feel the fear...

    jadedjane posted a topic in General Students

    jadedjane replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    jadedjane replied to maddybee's topic in California Nursing

    To be fair, GW and Saddleback have some clinicals at the same hospitals...however, I am- and always will be- partial to Saddleback. I remember my first semester, I had clinicals at Hoag and some of...

    Passing meds after day 4?

    jadedjane replied to meghan91's topic in General Students

    anxiety at clinicals: the kiss of death?

    jadedjane replied to amianurseyet?'s topic in General Students

    I get it too! I'm nearing the end of my second semester now (doing IV starts and pushes scares the daylights out of me). I think the only way I can get over my anxiety is preparation. I have to get...
