Just like riding a bike, you may be a bit wobbly at first but you never forget. I found out that I have to demo first year skills to our skills instructor for my bridge program, and like you I am a bit nervous. There are things I learned in school (graduated in June 08) that I have never had to do during my work experience. I'm just going to dust off the old fundamentals book and take a look and refresh.

You'll be ok..just breathe...it will be just like you're first patient care during LPN school...you'll be nervous but you will quickly fall right back into the routine. :)

Wishing you well.

You are so right. That analogy is perfect. Tomorrow is the big day! It also helped to make a friend in my group. I know that if I have any questions or need any help she will be there. Thanks for that boost of confidence:nurse:
