As I am approaching my last classes of my first semester I am becoming more and more anxious for clinical. I don’t know if I’m feeling scared or excited. Working with real patients is going to be a huge and critical step towards my nursing career. I am afraid of not being able to apply the knowledge I have learned. Some of the skills I have obtained thus far for instance basic nursing skills like, head to toe assessments, hygiene, ambulation are essential for in the hospital setting. Other skills that are important towards the clients and their well being, are building therapeutic relationships, trust and confidentiality. I hope that I will be able to confidently apply these skills that I have learned through practicum and praxis as well as my theory based courses in my clinical placement. Actually being in a real hospital setting and working one on one with doctors and nurses is going to be an interesting experience.

Clinical will be a large step in your nursing journey! I think it's a good thing you have feelings of nervousness it shows your enthusiasm. Good Luck!
