Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to clinical for the first time. I’ll be in a hospital, assigned to a real patient. Working with a genuine person and not a computer simulated mannequin in a lab setting.
Ask me how completely terrified I am.
It’s not even like I’m doing anything… we’re supposed to take vital signs and have a ‘therapeutic conversation’ with the patient we’ve been assigned to work with. Logically, it shouldn’t be that frightening. I shouldn’t be this nervous. But, oh my goodness, I am so nervous!
The prospect of actually starting clinical is exciting, but I want the first day to be over with already. I just want to get through the first day, so that I know what to expect and don’t need to be so anxious any more.
Prayer would be greatly appreciated.
