Scared to death of clinicals

Published

We take our final exam for Fundamentals tomorrow. I am feeling pretty good about it because I have a 87 and we are only required to have an 80 as our final grade. Next week we start our first clinicals and I am scared to death. My instructor tells us that first semester clinicals are really fun and she doesn't expect us to know everything, but I can't help but wonder if I know ANYTHING. So far I love nursing school and have done really well on all of my skills check offs. I am just afraid that I will get to clinicals and forget everything. Any advice from someone that has been in my shoes?:uhoh3:

Congrats Jg. I start in Sept. and I never thought it would be possible to be happy and scared to pieces at the same time. I almost finished my Social Work degree, but I always wanted to go into nursing. Where my husband was stationed, there was a 2 year wait list. So when he was stationed in Virginia, I applied and was accepted into the fall 2011 program at Bon Secours-St Marys in Richmond Va for LPN. Sad thing is my husband just found out he is being stationed in N.C. in Sept, which is the same month I start school. I decided to stay behind, so this is going to be a challenge since we are now going to have to pay for 2 different residences. But Ive followed him all around during his military career, and I just feel like now its time for me to do something for me. But any tips would be greatly appreciated. And again Congrats!!!
