State is not so bad, you can do it!

Let the 18 year olds attack me too, instructors prefer us to the young ones and thats the truth!

Haha, now I am just wondering if, at 24, I am part of the "young" team or the "old" team.

visual helps

pick one person to focus on

use them as the only eye contact

and ignore the rest

look at their nose or face

take deep breaths in the nose out the mouth

slowly

and take your time if you are allowed to

I shake too, don't worry about it! I think I posted this before but the girl with me asked for oxygen durring hers, so its cool. Say the steps out loud, think of it not as test but as a real patient do your best and you'll be fine :)
