Thank you for the advice. It's so nice to hear that it is normal to be nervous. I am so glad there is a site like this to help me realize I am not alone. thank you all

Hi everyone, I start my first clinicals this week on the Pulmonary Unit. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should look up so I am prepared to be on the floor. I am really nervous, but I am pretty sure that is normal. I am just trying to calm the nerves by advice/suggestions on what to expect so I am not completely blindsided when I go in. Thank you in advance

We are getting ready to go to clinical, and I have a general question. When I learn new procedures I never seem to get them right away like the other students. I always have to go before/after class to practice until I get somewhat comfortable in what I am doing. I always wanted to be a nurse, and Love learning new things related to the field. But should I be concerned that it takes me longer to catch on to certain procedures compared to other students? Or how can I just be confident like the other students? I am just worried about messing up when I get on the floor I want to know what to make sure I got it right idea before we get there.
