Psyching myself out

Is there anyone else, be it a current or former nursing student, who has severe anxiety? I know in my heart that nursing is my calling, but this anxiety is almost getting the best of me. I totally freeze during clinicals and even when skilling off. Tests I do fine in, but the actual application is what throws me off. I'm so worried it will be my downfall. It's not that I don't know the information, it's that I constantly second guess myself and absolutely freeze. :-( anyone else have this issue and how do you not let it psych you out?

    I was the same way... during my CNA skills exam, I could hardly feel the pulse over my own heartbeat. Hang in there-- it gets better on the floor.

    Honestly, be over prepared, study or practice in groups (so you're used to the audience), and keep things in perspective. Skills checkoffs do not define you as a person or your success in a career. Just prepare and do the best you can.
