I started nursing school in August. Next week I will start my 2nd semester which is OB and Pediatrics. Althougth we did do clinicals our 1st semester I still feel very nervous about them. Last semester we had clinicals 2 days a week every other week but from this point on I will have clinical 2 days a week every week. Once I get on the hospital floor I am fine, but the entire night before I am a wreck, praying I will not mess up.
I did very well in my classes but I feel that clinicals in my first semester were kind of rushed. I never even got to due an injection (I was supposed to do and IM but my patient refused it). I guess I am just looking for some advice, tips, etc. It is just nice to correspond with people who have been there...
Also, any advice for OB and Pediatrics...did you find that you studied the same way you did for Fundamentals??
I also enjoyed your post wannabeanurse. It's good to read an encouraging post from someone who's been there. I will be starting my second semester on Monday. We have Med-Surg I w/ clinicals on Tues. & Thurs. Any advice there? I'm a little nervous, just not knowing what to expect. In first semester, we had mutliple choice quizzes, but I hear that the quizzes in second, will be multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, etc.. I'm just going to have to feel it out on my own, but any advice would be helpful.
Yes I do...full time days and you? I know break did go by fast and I am a little nervous myself because the first week of classes were overwhelming...so much reading! We just need to stay positive and persistent and will will make it. Just think 5 more weeks and we have a break, hee-hee :-)
