Pre-Clincal Experience
So I just realized that Clinical for me starts next Wednesday. Am I scared? YES, Am I confidence?…well not really. Am I nervous? YES. Do I want to go? HELL YEA!. So I’m having mixed feelings right now. It feels like a whole new job and career. What I’m going to experience next week is what I’m going to be doing for the next who knows how many years. Basically I got all my check offs done for clinical and the hard part is I know the steps but will it come out of my mouth when it comes? Like seriously? Will I remember every single thing I HAVE to say to a patient? It was better to make mistakes with my fellow students but now its out in the real world and I might even blank out.
Everybody probably feels that same way with clinical. What if someone asks me “hey can you give Mr. Smith 4LMP via Nasal Cannula with no humidifier?” I know I can do it but where do they stock the cannulas? What if Mr. Smith doesn’t want to go through with it? What if I put it wrong? What if the equipment we use in the lab is different from the hospitals? O well I guess the only way to get rid of this fear is studying every single thing we went over in class.
Well there is a first thing for everything. I have no idea what to expect just like how i felt in the beginning of this class. I’m assuming that the clinical instructors or the education director expects us to know EVERYTHING we went over. But come on students probably remember 75% of what we did go over. I guess I have to see how this goes. Wish me luck guys!
