I just graduated nursing school and all I can say is that it's gonna suck no matter how you prepare. Just relax and accept that it's gonna be rough but it's also going to be the most rewarding thing...
Yes!!! I'm an RN now, but when I was a CNA, I worried like hell after every shift for a few months. I think it took me 6 months until I felt a little competent. I would wake up in the middle night...
