Hi everyone. I've finally been admitted to my program (3yrs of wait listing!) for this fall. I've been working hard in both ADN and BSN pre-reqs as I've been waiting and I'm now entering the final stage of the program (clinicals!) and I cannot get past the nervousness! I was a late admit (was supposed to start this portion in May, there were enough drops ahead of me to move things up) so it's been a rush of hurry up and get all the ducks in a row. I'm a 4.0 student and from what I've been told, it really doesn't matter and that has me nervous! I have developed good study skills and time management skills (mom of three!) throughout the last 3yrs (even became a microbiology and A&P tutor) but the horror stories you hear about clinicals/theory has me on edge! How do you get passed that and what can you suggest to help keep everything on par! I haven't gotten this far to do poorly but I'm sincerely anxious about what it will be like!
